Telugu, one of the classical languages of India, boasts a rich literary tradition dating back centuries. However, in contemporary times, the digital landscape has presented both opportunities and challenges for the language. While digital technologies offer new avenues for language preservation and dissemination, they also pose the risk of diluting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.Recognizing this dual reality, it is crucial to harness technology to safeguard and enrich the Telugu language for future generations.

Swecha is working on the following and we invite you to join us by collecting data through "Swecha Telugu Corpus" app.

Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Telugu culture is rich in oral traditions, folk tales, and indigenous knowledge passed down through generations. However, much of this heritage is at risk of being lost as society transitions to digital formats. By collecting data that exists primarily in oral form, we aim to preserve and celebrate the diverse cultural tapestry of Telugu-speaking communities.

Advancement of Language Technology: Language models play a crucial role in facilitating communication, information retrieval, and content generation in digital environments. By building a robust Telugu corpus, we empower researchers, developers, and content creators to develop sophisticated language technologies that accurately represent and serve the needs of Telugu speakers.
