# How I Revived VoiceAssist AI: Adding Kannada & Urdu Support with GitHub Copilot > Source: > Published: 2026-06-04 07:35:38+00:00 VoiceAssist AI is a multilingual voice assistant I built for bank branch counters during the iDEA 2.0 hackathon. It lets customers speak in their native language while bank staff respond in English — bridging the language gap in Indian banking. The app supported 6 languages but was missing Kannada and Urdu — two major Indian languages covering millions of bank customers. The code also had no proper script detection for non-Latin scripts. I asked Copilot to analyze the repo and suggest what was missing. It identified the language gaps, then automatically created a PR adding Kannada Devanagari script detection, Urdu Persian/Arabic script detection, TTS fallback handling, and updated the frontend language list from 6 to 8 languages. Languages expanded: 6 → 8 Kannada + Urdu voice input via Whisper STT Proper Unicode script detection Full verification flow in both languages GitHub: [https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai](https://github.com/rohan-jadhav-dev/voiceassist-ai) Live: [https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app](https://voiceassist-ai.vercel.app)
