This is a really cool project! What have people built with it? I'd love to learn about what local apps people are building on this.

Thanks! We've received feedback on use cases like live translation, safe and untrackable educational tools for kids, and language-learning apps. There are so many possibilities, and hope to see guys building amazing products on top of Ichigo.

I just tried to use the demo website for live translation. The AI always responded in English, either ignoring my request to only respond in French or Lao, or preface the translation with english ("I can translate that to French. the translation is: ...").

I'm trying to use chatgpt for ai translation, but the other big problem I run into is TTS and SST on non-top 40 languages (e.g. lao). Facebook has a TTS library, but it isn't open for commercial use unfortunately.

Oh, I see. We've limited it to English for simplicity for the demo. More languages are planned for future releases.

what is the limiting factor to all llama languages for stt or tts?
