Project Tags
Keyli is a groundbreaking speech-to-text platform developed for the Department of Judicial Administration (DJA) of the Maldives, designed to revolutionize the court transcription process. By leveraging custom-trained artificial intelligence models, Keyli accurately transcribes court proceedings from Dhivehi speech into text, drastically reducing manual effort and delays.
Project Overview
The Maldivian judiciary faced significant backlogs in producing court transcripts, a process that traditionally took weeks of manual work. To address this, the DJA partnered with Intellea to create Keyli, a digital solution that automates transcription. The system is built to understand the unique nuances and dialects of the Dhivehi language, marking a significant leap in the nation’s judicial digital transformation.
