## Kupu Description
Introducing Kupu, a Spark-sponsored app that uses the camera in your phone to instantly translate objects into te reo Māori.

Powered by Google technology and knowledge from the Te Aka Māori Dictionary, Kupu provides a new way to experience the language. It’s really easy to use – just take a photo of an everyday object (or upload your own) and see it translated in real time. You can save the translated image, share it or have another go.

As Kupu relies on the latest Machine Learning technology it may not get it right every time, but we’re working hard to improve it. You can help us by using the Translation Feedback feature to log any translations that don’t seem right.

We hope you enjoy using Kupu to explore the world of te reo Māori.

Te Aka Māori Dictionary is a product of the life’s work of Professor John C. Moorfield (1943 – 2018). A humble and unassuming man of Pākehā descent, Prof. Moorfield was highly respected in the Māori community, and was affectionately known as Te Murumāra. Without John’s advocacy and dedication to the revitalisation of the Māori language we would not have such a comprehensive and rich resource to draw on.

## Kupu Reviews in Neuseeland

### **--- "PLEASE UPDATE"
WAS such a great app but doesn’t seem to work anymore. Would Love to see this upgraded - it’s so useful. Please fix!!!
-- Nickname James 007, 2022-10-20

### ***-- "Impressive"
I like the way the dictionary is formed.

However trying the listen to the stories when it says “close your eyes” is annoying because to be able to listen I have to keep tapping the screen, otherwise it pauses meaning you have to unlock it again and press play, which kind of detracts from the point of it.
-- Annonymous123431, 2020-07-22

### *---- "App is currently broken"
By placing a notice about Matariki over the camera view with no way of dismissing it you have effectively broken the app. Please fix ASAP.
-- Neskire, 2020-07-15

### *---- "Kupu"
Doesn’t work
-- Mismaxd., 2020-06-16

### ***** "Ka pai te reo maori!"
It is currently te wiki o te reo maori. What better time to download this app. Excited to use it with my tamariki.
-- LauraMoana, 2019-09-13

### ***** "AMAZING!"
Well done, such a fab idea. Would love to see this app getting more exposure and momentum!! What an asset!
-- helloroseardern, 2019-05-29

### ***** "Awesome app!"
Love this so much and fascinated by the technology that it uses.  Such a good way to learn new words.  And so far 100% success with everything I’ve asked the word for.
-- Feijoacat, 2018-10-02

### ***** "A real joy to use!"
Thank you for this lovely app! So much fun to use with my children, and an easy way to pick up some extra words in Te Reo Maori - we love it! Easy to use and brilliant to have the pronunciations built in.
-- KarenTWilliams, 2018-09-16

### ***** "Ta John Moorsfield."
No words can describe my gratitude to Professor Moorfield and his contribution to Te Reo and to Maoritanga in general.
-- Tan Claxton, 2018-09-15

### ***** "Ka pai!"
Using it at school with my tamariki, awesome app!
-- TeachernzNZ, 2018-09-13

### ***** "Ka pai!"
Ka pai! Kia kaha te Reo Māori! This app is amazing and so fun to use. Highly recommend it.
-- Kashie4, 2018-09-11

### ****- "needs international availability"
I love this app so much but it’s so sad that it’s not available to our whanau overseas! Aotearoa has so many expats who are so proud of their culture and would love to share it with those around them, and making this app available to them would be a wonderful way to do that, and send them aroha from back home.
-- P Lattey, 2018-09-10

### *---- "Koretake - useless"
Deleted this app because it was useless. Photo of a coffee mug returned the suggestion that it was a floor, photo of a toilet roll returned a suggestion that it was a tap; when I typed in ‘toilet paper’ it said ‘inappropriate content’!?
-- NewtownLiz, 2018-09-10

### ***** "Very useful!!"
So cool to get the app to read the object and translate to Maori!
-- WhatsUpTobyn, 2018-09-10

### ***** "Amazing"
I can’t wait to use this with my son! He asks me everyday what does this mean in Maori and with this app I can give him a quick answer!
-- Rachogan, 2018-09-09

### ***** "Great app"
Very helpful and accurate! Highly recommend!
-- Gwenda H, 2018-09-09
