VoicERA is India's open-source voice AI stack
India just launched VoicERA, an open-source voice AI stack designed to make tech more inclusive.
Unveiled at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, it supports speech-to-text, text-to-speech, chatbots, and even phone calls in multiple Indian languages and dialects.
VoicERA runs on the BHASHINI National Language Infrastructure
VoicERA runs on the BHASHINI National Language Infrastructure and works both in the cloud and on local servers.
It's built for flexibility—government agencies, researchers, and startups can all use it without getting stuck with one vendor or redoing work others have already done.
VoicERA helps people who aren't fluent in English or Hindi
By using data and tools from the BHASHINI National Language Infrastructure (which supports multiple Indian languages and dialects), VoicERA helps people who aren't fluent in English or standard Hindi access digital services.
Think voice-enabled helplines for farmers or easy access to government schemes—all in your own language.
It's a big step toward making public services truly accessible for everyone, especially in rural areas or for anyone who prefers speaking over typing.
