preferred
difficulty level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Social media features are accessible through a

Team Lipi |
Lipi |
The First Runner-up team project is about simplifying the creation and development of languages,
fonts,
and linguistic datasets, focusing on language translation, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text
applications. Its
user-friendly features include Font Generation, allowing users to effortlessly create fonts by drawing
letters,
recording sounds, and assigning keys for mapping. The process automatically handles vectorization,
unicode, resulting in a downloadable .ttf font file. Lipi also excels in Dataset Generation, enabling
users to
use these fonts to compile datasets with words, stories, meanings, translations, and pronunciations
for
applications in Machine Learning and dictionaries. The project emphasizes Community Collaboration,
empowering users to collectively work on existing or new languages. Maintainers, reviewers,
collaborators,
and the community collaborate to document, refine, and expand languages, ensuring that each
contribution
undergoes verification and review before integration into the main language.
