Hi

My name is Ngoni, a Masters student in Computer Science at the University of Cape Town. I work in the Digital Libraries Laboratory, primarily focusing on research based on the preservation and transcription of the Bleek and Lloyd collection(!xam and !kun), link: http://lloydbleekcollection.cs.uct.ac.za/

I am attempting to use a crowd-sourced volunteer model to transcribe the Bleek and Lloyd collection by using thousands of volunteers who will each transcribe a small amount of text using the transcription tool I've developed.

I noticed on your Facebook group that you do similar research focusing on indigenous languages.
Would you be able to help me publicize my project to communities who might have interest in preserving endangered languages or any interested researchers/people doing similar projects, that might been keen to participate in this research?

Feel free to visit my project website and test out the transcription tool:

Looking forward to your response.

regards
Ngoni
