Features

Kora carries speech between Hausa and French while the speaker is still talking, with low latency in both directions.

Two-way interpretation

One model handles both directions of a conversation, with Hausa on one side and French on the other.

Using the model

Live and on-demand interpretation.

Kora detects which language was spoken and replies in the other, so no one has to set a direction.
