For all the progress in voice technology, one thing has stayed true. The languages of Northeast India have been left out. You can get a natural-sounding voice in English, Hindi, or a dozen European languages in seconds. Ask for Khasi, and you get nothing, or something so robotic it’s unusable.
We built Nyari to change that. Nyari is a Khasi text-to-speech voice that sounds like a person, not a machine. You give it Khasi text, and it speaks. Clearly, naturally, with the rhythm and warmth a native speaker expects.
Why a Khasi voice matters
A language lives when people use it everywhere, not just at home, but in technology, services, and daily digital life. Right now, a Khasi speaker interacts with their phone, their apps, and government portals almost entirely in English or Hindi. The language they think in is missing from the tools they use.
That gap has real consequences. It quietly tells people their language belongs to the past, not the future. It shuts out anyone more comfortable in Khasi than in English. And it makes building anything voice-based for the community, like a helpline, an announcement system, or a learning tool, practically impossible.
A good Khasi voice flips that. It lets technology meet people in their own language, on their own terms.
What Nyari can do
Nyari turns written Khasi into spoken Khasi for whatever you need a voice for:
Narration and content. Videos, explainers, announcements, and audio content in Khasi, without booking studio time for every script. Write it, and Nyari reads it.
Khasi voice agents. Build a Khasi voice agent for customer support, information lines, or public services. A system that actually talks to people in Khasi instead of forcing them into another language.
Accessibility. Read-aloud for people who can’t read text easily, or who simply prefer to listen. Documents, notices, and messages spoken aloud in Khasi.
Education and preservation. Learning material, pronunciation guides, and spoken-language resources that keep the language present and usable for the next generation.
The point is simple. Anywhere you’d want a Khasi voice, Nyari can be that voice.
Hear Nyari
“Na ki khubor paidbah haduh ki jingïathuhkhana, nga la wanrah ïa ka sur Khasi sha ka juk digital”
These are unedited. Text in, voice out. No human voice artist recorded these lines; Nyari generated them.
Built in Shillong, for Northeast India
Nyari is part of a larger effort at MWire Labs to build real language AI for Northeast India, not as an afterthought to bigger languages, but as the main work. We’re based in Shillong, we work with these languages directly, and we build for the communities that speak them.
Nyari is the first voice. It won’t be the last. We’re working toward a range of voices across Khasi and the other languages of the region, so that “there’s no voice for my language” stops being true here.
Work with us
If you’re building something that needs a Khasi voice, whether content, an agent, a service, or a product, we’d like to hear about it.
