OUR STORY

We believe that Africa will truly experience the information age when its peoples can interact with computers in their own languages. Due to the legacy of colonialism, many African languages lack the resources computers need to ‘speak’ our languages. For almost 20 years ALT-I has been cultivating the human and other capabilities to develop those resources.
