years have passed and google hasn’t still corrected pronunciation of Māori place names on google maps but the corporation is managing to implement change the on gulf of mexico within days maps are political www.renews.co.nz/why-google-m...

Why can’t Google Maps pronounce Māori words?

The long and the short of it is Google hasn’t built a voice platform to support te reo Māori or Māori pronunciation. And the people in Aotearoa who have started to build this technology haven’t heard from Google.

The rise and fall of ‘Say It Tika’

In 2017 the ‘Say It Tika’ (Say It Right) campaign by Vodafone and Google was launched.

It asked New Zealanders to correct Google Maps’ pronunciation of Māori place names across the motu.

In just two weeks, more than 67,000 corrections were pinned across a digital map of New Zealand.

The plan was for Google Maps and Vodafone to work with linguists and use this data to correct Google Maps’ pronunciation once and for all.

The problem? Google never actually had the technology to do this.

Google apologised for dropping their end of the deal, but Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (Māori Language Commission) chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui says he hasn’t heard from the organisation since.
