Summary

The/Nudge, an Indian institute focused on alleviating poverty, has partnered with Monster API to develop an AI-powered speech processing platform for underprivileged youth. The platform, called "Ukti," uses Monster API's Whisper ASR System to transcribe conversations between students in virtual speaking rooms, providing accurate and individualized feedback. This technology allows The/Nudge to serve 11 times more students than previously feasible, resulting in significant savings that can be redirected toward expanding educational initiatives. The partnership showcases how technology can drive positive societal change, promoting language skills and socioeconomic advancement among underprivileged youth.
