InuktiChat unveiling - InuktiBoard - InuktiCode

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(tm) (first pure-Inuktitut chat environment);
- InuktiBoard(tm) (first keyboard specifically engineered for the
Inuit language);
- InuktiCode(tm) (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,
which objectives are the preservation and dissemination of the
aboriginal arts and cultures.
