Overview

It's a global world, and interconnection and collaboration have become the trend of the day. Knowledge of English seems to be the passport to this interconnected world, unfortunately, more than 50% of the world is not English natives and this hinders the efficiency of global collaborations. This is a global problem, many organizations, companies, ecosystems, DAOs, etc are facing this challenge. My recent research under the Research and Development Guild revealed that this problem is endemic even in the SNet, Deepfunding, and ambassadorial community as well, this necessitates a tool that will help our community but in extension, every other organization and ecosystem needing a similar tool.

Proposal Description

How Our Project Will Contribute To The Growth Of The Decentralized AI Platform

The goal of the AI marketplace is to onboard projects that can generate a lot of API calls, creating utility and invariably money for the ecosystem. One such way is to onboard projects which have global utility, this proposal will be providing and utilizing multiple translation APIs which is developed by the SingularityNet ML-Language translation team, and providing a tool whose utility is relevant not only to the SingularityNet ecosystem but to other organizations, companies, and communities.

Our Team

The project is to be executed by the Remostart team but in collaboration with the SNET ML translation team. We have had a prior discussion with the team as facilitated by Jan, and once the project is voted in we will be working together with them.
Remostart team comprises AI developers with about 8 years of experience, Full stack developers with 8 years of combined experience, ML researchers, front-end devs, etc.
We have the internal competency and the external partnership to execute this project.

The core problem we are aiming to solve

According to data, only about 1.46 billion persons speak English globally. This means 4 out of every 5 persons do not speak English, post covid-19 there's been a trend towards more remote work and collaborations at an unprecedented pace this trend of today's globalization has made the world "a global village" This means your work colleagues, community members, team members, etc. are more likely persons of diverse creeds and language than you, never in history has such pace of human collaboration ever existed. 
While commendable, there's however a fly in the ointment. It is how uninclusive global communities and organizations are to non-English speakers, most of these organizations are designed around the use of English, thereby creating stratifications that explicitly or implicitly exclude people with no or poor use of English, trumping the very essence of globalization and collaboration in itself. 
This provides very little option to non-English speakers, these choices are either to learn English or get excluded from most communities.

Our specific solution to this problem

In Collaboration with the SingularityNet ML-Language translation team, this project seeks to provide the third option to non-English speakers, second-language English speakers, or even English speakers with poor command of English, and that is: Collaborate from your language of convenience.

Arturo E. Hernandez and co in their paper The Billingual Brain, discussed how bilingual individuals have different patterns of brain activity when switching between languages, suggesting that their cognitive processes may differ based on the language being used hence the need for communication to be done in a speaker's primary language.

Our solution is premised on these facts to build a tool that allows users to communicate with each other in their primary languages while allowing the recipient to receive the information in real-time in the user's primary or convenient language. so what we are doing is simply removing English as a "must" factor in global collaboration, and making communities more inclusive for non-English native/non-English speakers.So no more not joining or participating in community calls, town halls, etc just because you can't speak or understand Engish well, this is what this is all about

We will be using state-of-the-art translation models developed by the Snet ML-translation team to build this tool, a snippet about it- The models developed so far are inclusive of a lot of minority languages not only the popular ones like French, Spanish, etc which most translations have

Competition and USPs

Inclusive: Most solutions that are close to what we are doing are very limited in their approach, they only focus on the popular languages, while ours is focused on both the popular and unpopular ones

Opensourced: Zoom for example has something close to what we are building, but it is not open-sourced and only premium users have access to it

Interoperability: No projects that have something close are interoperable, for example, you can't use the live transcription tool on zoom for Discord, what we are building is rather going to be integrable with most platforms 

Existing resources

We will be leaveraging on the language models developed by the ML-translation team for this project and the real time language detection model on the AI market place

    You describe a real problem and actually I didn’t know there are solutions that can already be used online with low enough latency. Absolutely that has to be made available on the SNET platform. It is a perfect fit to its current stage of development.      Any estimates on how long it might take to build it?

    Remember to check the output quality

    The language barrier between international organizations and countries has always been a problem that has never been completely and quickly resolved. It always takes time for members to integrate, even when using technology devices. With this proposed product, I believe that can be solved. Provided that attention must be paid to checking the output quality so that there are no errors and the strengths of the SNET transcription tool are maximized.
