Te Ngutu Kura - Free Māori Spell Checker

About Te Ngutu Kura.

Na Te Ngutu Kura ka pupuke te Mahara
Na te Mahara ko te hinengaro
Na te hinengaro ko te wananga
Na te wananga ka tu te tikanga
He taonga nui te wareware.

Te Ngutu Kura" free Māori Spell Checker was conceived by Karaitiana Taiuru. The concept was made a reality by the Māori Education Trust who sponsored the development of Te Ngutu Kura and this web site.

The Māori Education Trust have sponsored the free distribution of Te Ngutu Kura for the past five years and will continue to do so for at least the next 1 year ending in 2007.

Karaitiana Taiuru has devoted most of his career to empowering Māori in Information Technologies and creating free Māori resources as well as commercial Māori resources. For many years Karaitiana believed that Māori should not have to pay for a Māori Spell Checker. The same as we do not pay for English spell checkers. It only seemed logical to Karaitiana that all the source code and word lists should be offered freely to other developers in order to really advance the Māori language in the IT area.
