Nnọọ. Welcome.
Put Igbo on the technology roadmap.
TokataHQ connects the people building Igbo voice data with the technology companies that can use it.
We strengthen the path from language resource to real product — and advocate for Igbo across AI, voice assistants, and digital platforms.
Connecting Igbo language builders, institutions, volunteers, and technology companies.
Builders create Igbo language data. Technology companies can put it to work.
TokataHQ brings them together.
Support the builders
We collaborate with teams creating Igbo speech and language datasets, and help make their work visible, documented, licensed, and easier to adopt.
Connect data to deployment
We help close the gap between people producing Igbo language resources and the companies capable of turning them into widely used products.
Advocate for adoption
We make the case for Igbo inclusion to the companies shaping AI, voice assistants, search, translation, and other digital tools.
Why this matters
Millions of people speak Igbo, but the language remains absent from many of the digital tools becoming part of everyday life. Without deliberate adoption, Igbo speakers risk being excluded from the next generation of technology.
Estimated speakers of Igbo worldwide, across all varieties.
Relevance: the audience already exists at scale — this is not a niche request.
Ethnologue estimate, via Igbo language (accessed 2026)
GPT-4o scored 85.1 on English tasks and averaged 66.0 across 14 African languages, Igbo among them.
Relevance: the shortfall is measured and repeatable, not a matter of impression.
AfroBench, Findings of ACL 2025
Labelled speech from more than 5,000 speakers, released for research use.
Relevance: usable data already exists. Adoption, not creation, is the bottleneck.
