Google and Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (the Māori Language Commission) have partnered to launch a New Zealand voice in Google Maps. It will use a new AI-powered text-to-speech (TTS) model in English that can correctly pronounce cities and towns with te reo Māori names.
For many years Māori place names pronounced by Google Maps have sounded kawa (unpleasant) in the ears of te reo Māori speakers.
Chief executive of Te Taura Whiri, Ngahiwi Apanui-Barr, said it was an exciting tool that secured a future for te reo Māori in the digital age.
"Like all other languages, Māori placenames carry stories that connect us to our histories, people and achievements. The first step to unlocking those stories is correct pronunciation. If we can hear the words said correctly, we can say the words correctly.
For launch, the partnership has focused on te reo Māori cities and towns, with streets and roads to be updated in future.
Apanui-Barr encouraged users who come across Māori place names being pronounced incorrectly to report them. "We want to hear from you so we can teach the technology the right way to say the word."
