App Store Description

INTRODUCTION

iNaqittaq provides a convenient way of typing in Inuktitut using the Nunavik syllabary.

The provided font and keyboard are designed to be used with the Nunavik dialect of the Inuktitut language, spoken by the circumpolar peoples of the world.

THE KEYBOARD

The Nunavik syllabic keyboard layout is based on the IBM Selectric typewriter layout of the 1970s and the Macintosh (US-System 6) layout. The Nunavik keyboard layout provide a consistent keyboard mapping for syllabic characters regardless of the computer platform or encoding. Our Nunavik keyboard has been very popular on Mac OS and Windows for several decades. Any user who is familiar with those will instantly be able to use their typing skills on an iPhone, an iPod or an iPad.

THE FONT

The installed font is AiPaiNutaaq. It is fully Unicode-compliant. It is of course used by our keyboard. But it is also available to any application that allows you to select a font in a list, such as Pages, Mail or other office applications.

TYPING

In order to type text in syllabics, you must select the Inuktitut Keyboard for Nunavik by tapping the International button (the one with a globe) of the keboard, and activate the Caps key to switch between syllabics and roman writing systems.
