Kupu 2.2.4

Introducing Kupu, an app sponsored by Spark that utilizes your phone's camera to provide instant translations of objects into te reo Māori.

Powered by Google technology and knowledge from the Te Aka Māori Dictionary, Kupu offers a unique way to engage with the language. The application is user-friendly – simply capture a photo of any common object (or upload your own) and witness its real-time translation. You have the option to save the translated image, share it, or try again.

While Kupu leverages the latest Machine Learning technology, accuracy may not be guaranteed each time. Continuous efforts are being made to enhance its performance. Users can contribute to this improvement process by utilizing the Translation Feedback feature to report any inaccuracies.

We trust that you will enjoy exploring the world of te reo Māori through Kupu.

The Te Aka Māori Dictionary is a testament to the lifelong dedication of Professor John C. Moorfield (1943 – 2018). Prof. Moorfield, a modest individual of Pākehā descent, was deeply revered within the Māori community and was fondly referred to as Te Murumāra. The existence of this inclusive and invaluable resource can be attributed to John's tireless advocacy for the revitalization of the Māori language.
