• cooperation project on iCALL with Uppsala University? (where Estonian is taught) - Heli has written an e-mail to prof Raimo Raag but not got any answer yet

• sme2est (Käbi Suvi's BA thesis); she got "B" https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/incubator/apertium-sme-est
• Võro keyboards are created by Sjur for Windows and Mac Tested both on Mac and Windows - works good. Windows installer could be better.
• Heiki has worked with jompikumpi -type words in est (double inflecting words), e.g. emb-kumb, kihin-kahin, seesama, kakssada. This done with concatenating two transducers.
• Fin-Est dict (Kotus) from EKI to be used in Apertium

FST speller for predictive input

Documentation: https://giellalt.uit.no/keyboards/PlanForMoreKeyboards.html

Possible extensions:

• grammar checking
• predictive word completion (based upon start of word)
• predictive next word (based upon last word(s))

Next Võro meeting (Heli, Jack, Sulev) will be 20.06. Then we can discuss closer what you have talked in Göteborg (future of Võro FST, funding) and other things.

Priorities

• Immediate
  • Estonian fst in shape
  • fin-est dictionary into bidix format
• X-fin
  • Improve fin doubleforms and strange forms
• Project closing conference 21-22.9. in Laulasmaa, we should write a comprehensive presentation of what we did.

Future funding:

• NordForsk https://www.nordforsk.org/no/funding/utlysninger/call-for-proposals-nordic-centre-of-excellence-2013-new-learning-and-teaching-environments-and-practices (probably hopeless)
