My TJ System of Penang Hokkien romanisation has attracted the attention of a Dutch programmer, who wrote to me, asking if he could use it to develop an app for mobile devices. This is still very much in the preliminary stage, but it things go well, I hope to be able to see the app capable of translating into Penang Hokkien from English and perhaps other languages. It would be great if he could do voice output, so tourists carrying their IPAD or tablet about can get words and phrases articulated in Penang Hokkien for them.
We'll see how this goes ...!
