Site Editorial Commentary：Introducing Kupu, an app that can instantly translate objects into te reo Māori.

Introducing Kupu, an innovative app proudly sponsored by Spark, designed to instantly translate objects into te reo Māori using your phone's camera.

Leveraging the power of Google technology and the extensive knowledge base of the Te Aka Māori dictionary, Kupu offers a unique and engaging way to experience the Māori language. Simply capture a photo of an everyday object (or upload an existing one), and witness it translated in real-time. The translated image can be saved, shared with friends, or you can try translating another object.

Kupu utilizes cutting-edge Machine Learning technology, and while it strives for accuracy, occasional errors may occur. We are continuously working to enhance its performance. Your feedback is invaluable; please use the translation Feedback feature to report any translations that appear incorrect, helping us improve the app for everyone.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using Kupu to explore the rich world of te reo Māori and deepen your understanding of this beautiful language. It's a great educational tool for anyone interested in learning te reo Māori.

The Te Aka Māori Dictionary stands as a testament to the life's work of Professor John C. Moorfield (1943 – 2018). Prof. Moorfield, a humble and unassuming man of Pākehā descent, was deeply respected within the Māori community and affectionately known as Te Murumāra. His unwavering advocacy and dedication to the revitalization of the Māori language have provided us with an invaluable and comprehensive resource to Draw upon.
