Scribe[1] is a community of language enthusiasts, learners and developers creating tools to help people communicate with confidence.
Our current project are:
- Scribe-iOS: A pack of iOS and iPadOS keyboards with features including translation, verb conjugation and word annotation
- Scribe-Data: A CLI that allows users to easily get language data packs from Wikidata and other sources
- Scribe-Server: A Wikimedia Toolforge API to serve language data to Scribe client applications
Creating MVPs for Scribe-Android and Scribe-Desktop are also now priorities!
An official Wikimedia project for new developers, we strive to be an inclusive community. Be it the software we write or the language data from Wikidata that it's based on, coders and open-source supporters of any level are welcome! Please also join us in our public Matrix chat rooms to share ideas, ask questions or just say hi :)
