Established in 1990 as part of the Māori radio network, Te Hiku Media continues to broadcast news & information from the Far North in te reo Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa/New Zealand. With a mission to "Instil, nurture and proliferate the Māori Language unique to haukāinga of Te Hiku o Te Ika", the organisation have now developed new work in the technology field. Te Hiku Media built the first automatic speech recognition for te reo Māori, the first synthesised voice for te reo Māori and the first pronunciation model that provides real-time feedback to the user for te reo Māori. These foundational tools were developed as part of the successful project, 'Papa Reo' - https://papareo.nz/
