How about Geez speech reconginition! Geez is the easiest language for automated speech recognition by which SMS texting would be very simple and effective. Imagin, you talk and a small software captures the voice and look a database of not more than 400 characters and inserts them as text. I don’t think this is difficult for our young scientists. I look forward such applications take root in Ethiopia in two-three years.

Sorry Ayele, but no applause for intellectual thieves of Feedelix. AAU and GSTIT gets the credit!

I salute the technological achievements of Samuel, Twodros, and Girum with regard to Ethiopic SMS. This is not the first time for Ethiopian ideas to have an impact beyond its borders. Some 1600 years ago, Ethiopic has inspired the development of an Armenian alphabet, which is a foundation to Armenian identity and culture. I invite wondemochen to visit the African writng systems: http://www.library.cornell.edu/africana/Writing_Systems/Welcome.html

Keep up the good work.

Why in all the Feedelix information it is never mentioned that the Ethiopic SMS comes from the work of AAU students in 2003/4 ? Come on Feedelix people! Give your credit where credit is due!!

Wherever I go to Ethiopia, I need to rent a mobile phone. Is there a place where you can rent a mobile phone?
