Canada Institute of Linguistics is pleased to announce the Public Domain Release of SynPhony Community Edition (SynPhony CE).

Synphony Community Edition is public domain software that assists in literacy using intelligent searching of wordlists of any language. SynPhony CE provides a user-friendly interface to help literacy teachers find teachable words to present to learners based on the letters that students already know.

By releasing SynPhony Community Edition into the public domain, the hope and desire of CanIL is to see literacy facilitated in communities in lesser-known languages around the world.

SynPhony Community Edition is developed in HTML and Javascript. Source and application files can be downloaded as a zip file. The files are retrievable from the open source repository on GitHub at: https://github.com/canilcomputer/synphony-community-edition.
