Noonu Atoll Administration Partners with Thaana AI to Revolutionize Dhivehi Language Transcription

Noonu Atoll Administration in partnership with Thaana AI, a leader in artificial intelligence innovations, aimed at introducing an advanced transcription solution tailored for the Dhivehi language. This initiative marks a significant step forward in modernizing transcription processes, fostering transparency, and enhancing accessibility for a wide range of administrative and community-driven projects.

The new AI-powered tool offers a sophisticated audio-to-text conversion system designed for unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Beyond just transcription, the tool is equipped with the ability to auto-translate council websites and official announcements, ensuring that vital information is more accessible to diverse audiences across linguistic boundaries. This capability will improve communication and engagement with citizens, reinforcing clarity and inclusivity in governance practices.

Additionally, this innovative solution will enable real-time documentation of council meetings and decisions, ensuring greater transparency and accountability. By automatically translating and organizing key updates, councils can provide stakeholders and the broader community with accessible, multilingual information promptly, strengthening public trust and deepening citizen involvement.

Thaana AI’s system will integrate seamlessly with Noonu Atoll Administration’s existing administrative platforms, including Microsoft’s cloud-based services (SaaS), through APIs and compatible modules. Strict data security protocols will protect all sensitive information, ensuring confidentiality throughout the entire process.

This project has been widely embraced by all councils within the atoll. Alongside Noonu Atoll Council, Kendhikulhudhoo Council, Kudafari Council, Manadhoo Council, Maalhendhoo Council, and Maafaru Council are joining forces to implement this transformational technology. Together, they aim to enhance administrative efficiency, bridge communication gaps, and meet the evolving demands of governance in the digital age.

Advancing Citizen Engagement and Inclusivity

By integrating auto-transcription and translation capabilities, this collaboration empowers councils to foster better communication with their constituents. Important updates, announcements, and meeting outcomes will now be accessible not only in Dhivehi but also in other languages, ensuring inclusiveness for multilingual communities.

With the AI-driven translation of council websites, a broader audience can stay informed about government initiatives, decisions, and events. This removes language barriers, enabling citizens to participate more effectively in governance and community development.

The tool also supports spontaneous documentation and translation during citizen meetings, ensuring that ideas, concerns, and discussions are accurately captured and easily shared across platforms. This makes councils more connected to their communities and encourages transparent, participatory governance.

Preserving Dhivehi Language in the Digital Era

This collaboration is not only about adopting cutting-edge technology but also about preserving the cultural essence of the Dhivehi language. Thaana AI’s transcription and translation tools are designed to respect the linguistic nuances of Dhivehi while extending its reach to a broader, global audience.

This initiative reflects the collective effort of the Noonu Atoll Administration and its councils to implement innovative technologies that promote better governance, inclusivity, and efficiency.
