Quispe Chequea verifies content in Spanish and Peruvian indigenous languages like Quechua, Aymara, and Awajún. It converts fact-checked information into audio for radio dissemination across nine regions. The platform leverages large language models for analysis and Tacotron 2 for voice synthesis, allowing indigenous interpreters to create voices that deliver credible news in local languages. It's used by trained regional broadcasters to ensure factual communication for Andean and Amazonian communities.
