In this episode, we're diving into the world of languages and computers! Have you ever wondered how people who speak in different ways or dialects can still communicate with the help of technology? Today, we’ll learn about a cool new method scientists are using to help computers understand Finnish dialects and turn them into standard Finnish! We’ll explore how this helps computers do a better job at things like reading and talking to us. Join us as we talk about how this amazing technology works and how it can even help people who speak other languages!
