Borge Labs

English · from Norwegian

We build Norwegian AI.

Borge Labs is a small AI lab in Norway. We make Politikkradar, which explains politics in plain Norwegian, and Ordrett, which turns Norwegian speech into text. Now we are also training our own Norwegian models.

For elected officials, newsrooms and municipalities

Politikkradar

What municipal councils and the Storting decide, explained in plain Norwegian and linked to the case papers.

  • Every case gets an explanation, its status and the vote
  • AI-written text is labelled, and the sources are a click away
  • Covers Malvik, Åmli, Oslo's Alna district and the Storting today

Ordrett on a phone: speech to text, made for Norwegian, with Google Play and App Store buttons.

How it fits together

  1. Politikkradar had to understand what is said in the municipal council.
  2. Ordrett grew out of that work.
  3. Our own models are where Ordrett took us next.

More speech and language

Norwegian speech, into text and other languages.

The same work on Norwegian speech is behind three more products.

Ordrett Teksting

Captions for recorded meetings and broadcasts, in Bokmål or Nynorsk, with speaker names where we can establish them.

ordrett.app/teksting · for streaming providers and municipalities

Ordrett Samtaletolk

Everyday conversations in home care, in the resident's own language. Not instead of a qualified interpreter.

The lab

Our own models for Norwegian.

We train speech recognition for Norwegian political speech, starting from open models. Every new model is measured against fixed test sets and blind tests before it may replace anything in a product.

Norwegian models we can share openly, once they are good enough and the rights are cleared
