Somebody looking for software to write

[Mary Hermes]

Glad I did not delete this too quick.  
We have been using Transparent Language Software for  authoring our generating content. 
We did Ojibwe, and Kevin Roach is finishing a shorter Menominee version. 
www.grassrootindigenousmultimedia.org,
way cheaper, with community learning to do the stuff and owning it all in the end.
Now getting into APP and shorter projects that are tied to documentation and bigger resources. SO not, linguistic software, we use ELAN for transcribing - but learning materials coupled with documentation, for revitalization.

So, Donovan and guy posting on in the forum, like to talk with you both, lots of work to do!!

I'm in a LIS program but I am looking to preserve and revitalize indigenous languages.
