Vokal to speak 10 new Indian languages

Vokal, a knowledge-sharing platform for Hindi users, has added 10 Indian languages, allowing sharing of information and getting answers to queries.

The Bengaluru-based start-up, which has 60 employees, said there was huge scope for such a service in Indian languages as people were clueless where to find answers for a variety of questions.

The new languages added are — Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, Oriya and Assamese.

Aprameya Radhakrishna, co-founder and CEO of Vokal, said subject experts who gave popular answers would be rated. The users can key in their questions or can even ask the app using the voice option. The app would come up with answers, if they had already been answered.
