Inc. having been working hard this past month testing the application
that will Android device users download a Navajo keyboard.
Last evening in Flagstaff, Native Innovation staff held a launch
party at the Native American Cultural Center at Northern Arizona
University to celebrate their success.
This is our contribution to the Diné Language Revitalization
among our tech savvy youth, commented Jerome Tsosie,
president and co-owner of Native Innovation Inc. to the Native News
Network prior to the launch party.
Navajo Keyboard makes it convenient for users to type in Navajo
and removes many of the frustrations that users have with typing
Navajo using the default Android keyboard. For starters, this app
places an extra row of keys on its keyboard, allowing you access
to specific Navajo characters without depressing the letter.
Users are able to access the letters f,v,p and q by holding
down the assigned letter for a split second. You will no longer
need to switch back to the English keyboard since all letters of
the alphabet will be at your fingertips.
The new Navajo keyboard application for Android devices is free
to download from Google Play Store.
Apple users of iPhones, iPads and IPod Touch unfamiliar with
the Navajo keyboard can do so at Google Play Store, as well.
Navajo keyboards can be fully integrated into classrooms and
all social platforms and becomes your primary keyboard. If you are

Native Innovation Inc. will have a booth set up at this year's
67th Annual Navajo Nation Fair in Window Rock, Arizona September
2-8.
