SabhaSaar: AI Tool to Streamline Gram Sabha Meetings
Imagine a robot helper, SabhaSaar, that listens to meetings in Indian villages and writes down what happened.
It uses AI to understand the words spoken in the meetings, even if they're in different languages like Hindi or Bengali.
SabhaSaar translates these words and makes a short summary.
This makes it easier for everyone to know what was discussed, even if they weren't at the meeting.
It helps keep things organized and transparent, making sure everyone can participate in village decisions.
SabhaSaar is an AI tool generating structured minutes from gram sabha meetings.
The tool uses AI to transcribe, translate, and summarize audio/video recordings.
SabhaSaar is built on Bhashini, a government AI-powered language translation platform.
It aims to improve transparency and participation in Gram Sabha meetings.
The tool can be used to transcribe and translate in all major Indian languages and English.
