We unveiled our InuktiChat, a pure-Inuktitut chat system. People in the audience were unanimously enthusiastic. Some of them even told us they were moved by the human dimension of our projects. Read on...
InuktiChat :: unveiling
Tuesday, June 21, 2005 - 2pm - Free admission
As part of the National Aboriginal Day, launched by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, NunaSoft and the SAT unveil their new line of technology (hadware and software) dedicated to the aboriginal cultures:
- InuktiChat (first pure-Inuktitut chat environment);
- InuktiBoard (first keyboard specifically engineered for the Inuit language);
- InuktiCode (first universal tool for Inuktitut conversion and transliteration).
The aboriginal communities are, for the most part, isolated. Community exchanges are limited by technology, infrastructures and therefore by the costs related to them. It is the reason why the SAT and NunaSoft took on this ambitious research and development program, whose objectives are the preservation and dissemination of the aboriginal arts and cultures.
