Dear friends, for the past year and a half, we have been working hard to build a new mobile-friendly app for Talking Dictionaries! It will be available for use in multiple languages. Most of all, it will help speakers of endangered languages create their own recordings for their dictionaries efficiently and easily, using any desktop or mobile device at their disposal.
Can you help support this worthy cause? Any donation, small or large, would help us finish the new software soon!
Talking Dictionaries promote connectivity over vast distances, and support an online community of language learners who wish to hear and learn a language without close proximity to fluent speakers. They allow thousands of recorded words and phrases to be available at one’s fingertips. High-quality audio recordings accompany the dictionary entries so that community members, new speakers and research scholars can listen to the correct pronunciation by a proficient speaker. Engaging images also provide a wider sense of the cultural context for the language.
What are some of the features of the new mobile app?
- Manage Dictionary: View & Edit Word List From Any Device
- Mobile-friendly Format
- Keyboards for Dozens of Writing Systems
- Record & Playback Audio on Any Device
- Photo Upload
- Offline Mode (for Areas with No Internet)
- Improved Search
- Semantic Domains
- Invite Contributors
- Sidebar with tabs for “About” and “Grammar Notes”
For the remainder of the campaign, for those who donate over $50, we will send you a free Living Tongues T-Shirt in your size!
Thanks for your support! 🙂
