Hello,

I am contacting you to see if you, or contacts that you know, would be
interested in working with the Text Input Linguistics team from Nuance
Communications. We build keyboard products such as
XT9(http://www.nuance.com/for-business/mobile-solutions/text-input-solutions/index.htm)
and Swype
(http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/mobile-applications/swype/android/index.htm)
that support predictive text input using language Modelling.

We are currently trying to obtain the following resources:

* Unicode encoded corpus
* Unicode encoded frequency-ordered ord lists
* Linguistic expertise for the following languages/scripts:

We need these resources for the following languages. We do have a preferred
script as shown below. But, some of these languages use an alternative script
which we would also consider.

Language Preferred Script

Kashmiri Devanagari
Sanskrit Devanagari
Sindhi Devanagari
Bodo Devanagari
Dogri Devanagari
Konkani Devanagari
Maithili Devanagari
Manipuri (Meithei) Bengali
Santali Devanagari

We work with a number of linguistic vendors. But, we are having some difficulty
locating experts and text resources for these languages. This would be a paid
contract job for those who can deliver the needed resources and services. Feel
free to forward this email to any interested party. Those interested can
respond by replying all to this email.


Thanks,
Dave Field
Sr. Program Manager, TextIO XT9/Swype
