Aikuma: A Mobile App for Collaborative Language Documentation
Steven Bird, Florian Hanke, Oliver Adams, Haejoong Lee · 2014
Proliferating smartphones and mobile software offer linguists a scalable, net-worked recording device. This paper de-scribes Aikuma, a mobile app that is de-signed to put the key language documen-tation tasks of recording, respeaking, and translating in the hands of a speech com-munity. After motivating the approach we describe the system and briefly report on its use in field tests. 1
