Zabaan

Zabaan is a SaaS platform offering AI-powered APIs for Text-to-Speech (TTS), Speech-to-Text (STT), Translation, and Transliteration. Users can sign up, generate API keys, and integrate these capabilities into their apps with minimal friction.

Think of it like an easy-to-integrate alternative to similar AI platforms, with a focus on developer experience.

Key Features

• User accounts with email/password sign-in, password recovery, and profile management
• API key issuance, rotation, and revocation
• AI endpoints for:
  • Text-to-Speech (TTS): generate natural-sounding audio from text
  • Speech-to-Text (STT): transcribe audio to text
  • Translation: convert text between languages
  • Transliteration: convert text between scripts while preserving pronunciation

Architecture

• Backend: Ruby on Rails 8 (PostgreSQL, JWT/Devise authentication)
• Frontend: Next.js dashboard for profile, API keys, and usage analytics
• Providers: Integrations with AI4Bharat, OpenAI, and others
