About TaurAi

Institutions write in English. The people they serve often do not read it.

TaurAi is built for the gap in between: the referral letter, the summons, the school report, and the public notice that has to be understood to do its job.

Why we build this

Over 2,000 languages are spoken across Africa, yet most technology only understands a handful. TaurAi exists to change that — starting with the highest-impact languages across Southern and East Africa.

Pan-African First

We work on the African languages most tools skip: Shona, Ndebele, isiZulu and Sesotho in the south, Swahili, Amharic and Kinyarwanda in the east, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo in the west.

Community Driven

Native speakers review output and correct it. Those corrections feed back in, and institutions can add their own glossary so court, clinical and administrative terms land the way they use them.

Your Documents, Your Control

We do not sell personal data. Organisation workspaces keep documents inside your team, with an audit trail of who opened what. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly who we share data with and why.

One Pipeline, Any Volume

The same pipeline runs one referral letter or a batch of public notices, through the dashboard or the API, so a clinic and a ministry use the same tool.
