LifeSpark App Builder
The App Creation Tool for Language Revitalization
Currently most of the big app development companies are charging tens of thousands of dollars to create mobile apps. This is certainly at odds with the immediacy of language revitalization efforts around the world. The majority of communities cannot afford these high costs. If nothing is done now it is estimated that nearly all of the world's endangered languages will be gone within the next two generations. LifeSpark is aiming to combat that by providing tools now to help with language preservation and revitalization. The majority of these tools are provided for free or very low cost which now makes it possible for nearly any community to create their own language app.
