cAIprus Listener: Intelligent Meeting Summarisation in the Cypriot Dialect
Meetings are where ideas are exchanged and decisions are made, yet documenting them accurately can be challenging in Cyprus, where many discussions take place in the Cypriot Greek dialect. Most speech recognition tools are trained on standard Greek and often struggle to correctly interpret the vocabulary and pronunciation used in everyday Cypriot speech.
As a result, automatically transcribing such meetings can produce significant errors, requiring professionals to manually review recordings and reconstruct key discussion points. This process is time-consuming and increases the risk that important decisions or action items are not captured clearly, a particularly pressing challenge for high-workload organisations managing multiple projects and teams simultaneously.
To address this challenge, the AI & Data Lab at Grant Thornton Cyprus developed AI Listener (cAIprus Minutes), an intelligent platform designed to accurately transcribe meetings conducted in the Cypriot Greek dialect and transform conversations into structured, actionable meeting minutes. The platform delivers three core capabilities:
- Real-time transcription with accurate recognition of the Cypriot dialect
- Automatic generation of complete meeting minutes, with emphasis on decisions, actions, and next steps, reducing the administrative burden on executives and teams
- Multiple export options (Cypriot Greek, Standard Greek, and English) to facilitate collaboration in multilingual environments
Unlike international solutions that only partially support the Greek language, AI Listener was purpose-built for the local linguistic environment, offering accuracy and reliability for Cypriot businesses that international tools cannot match. Beyond Grant Thornton Cyprus, the platform addresses a broader market opportunity for organisations across Cyprus that face similar challenges with existing software.
