LAREINA – Language Resource Infrastructure for AI is a Business Finland-funded project (2023-25) in which the University of Helsinki and Aalto University will collaborate with companies with the aim to research, produce, test and pilot speech technology components. The goal of the LAREINA project is to develop a commercially replicable model for building speech interfaces for small and medium-sized languages.
During the LAREINA project, speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition (ASR) will be developed for Finnish, Finland-Swedish and the Sámi languages. The research methods and outputs will be applicable for other small and medium-sized languages as well.
The results of the LAREINA project will be published under a license which also allows for commercial use.
