Components
-
There are 3 components within this program:
- FirstVoices projects involve using FirstVoices.com to document and share your language. These projects make languages more accessible and preserve knowledge for future generations.
- Digitization projects involve converting materials such as audio cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, VHS tapes and text documents to a digital format.
- Development projects use FirstVoices data to develop digital tools, like language learning apps and games. Note that FPCC does not provide training for developing apps and games but will fund training through this program.
