About - Qubeessaa AI | Afaan Oromo Spell Checker

What is Qubeessaa AI?

Qubeessaa AI is a free online spell checker and grammar assistant designed specifically for the Afaan Oromo language (also known as Oromiffa or Oromo). It uses artificial intelligence and a large vocabulary database to detect spelling errors and suggest accurate corrections in real time.

The name Qubeessaa comes from the Afaan Oromo word for "writer" or "one who writes," reflecting our mission to help Oromo speakers write correctly and confidently.

Afaan Oromo is the most widely spoken Cushitic language in the world, with over 40 million speakers primarily in Ethiopia and Kenya. Despite its large speaker base, digital tools for the language have historically been very limited. Qubeessaa AI aims to change that.

About the Afaan Oromo Language

Afaan Oromo is written using the Qubee alphabet, a Latin-based writing system officially adopted in 1991. Before Qubee, Afaan Oromo was written using the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script. The transition to Qubee made literacy more accessible and helped standardize spelling across regions.

🔤 About the Qubee Alphabet

Qubee uses 26 Latin letters plus some digraphs (two-letter combinations) to represent sounds unique to Afaan Oromo. Some important features:

Long vowels are written by doubling the vowel letter: a → aa, e → ee, i → ii, o → oo, u → uu
Glottal stop (hudhaa) is written with an apostrophe: a'
Digraphs include: ch, dh, ny, ph, sh, ts
