Let’s co-create the first open-source Yucatec Maya TTS (Text-to-Speech) system — trained locally, ethically, and with community benefit at its core.

A project rooted in tech-for-good, cultural restoration, and practical impact.

This isn’t just a gesture. It’s an invitation to act in a way that aligns with the land we’re inhabiting. A project where blockchain devs, sound designers, AI researchers, linguists, and Mayan elders collaborate for real.

This summer I added the Maya keyboard my Maya language and culture free app. You can type using a standard Latin keyboard or a Maya flick keyboard. The flick keyboard is based on syllabic keyboards used in Japan and Korea. The rendered glyph blocks based on the quadrats Carlos specified in his draft Unicode standard. You can see the app's keyboard in action here: https://youtu.be/rGhwQ0_KF94. How can I connect with you all?
