- Provide High-Quality Texts — We are committed to supporting as many languages as possible. To add support for a new language, all that is needed is a sufficient amount of text in the language with all special characters in place. Many of the currently-supported languages were trained with only a small amount of text—providing us with more will improve performance.
- Share Feedback — An easy way to provide us with training text is directly through the Firefox add-on. If Accentuate.us makes an error, correct the error, highlight the text, right click, and choose "Submit Selection as Feedback...". Or, submit any text at all, as long as you’re confident that the special characters are correct—more is better!
- Improve Dictionaries — In addition to the statistics gathered from training texts, Accentuate.us relies upon open source spell checking dictionaries when restoring texts. Unfortunately, less than 60% of our supported languages have open source spell checkers, and some of these have poor coverage. Help us develop new word lists, and improve the ones that exist.
- Translate the Interface — Because our mission is to serve language communities around the world, we’ve taken care to ensure all of our software is fully translatable. Contact us if you’d like to translate Accentuate.us into your language. We host translations on transifex.net.
- Host a Server — We are hosting over 100 languages on a small number of servers and response times can occasionally be slow because of this. We can provide better service to your language community if you’d be willing to run an instance of the Accentuate.us server in your home country. Please contact us to make arrangements.
- Donate or Sponsor — Although Accentuate.us is free and open source software, it takes money to run. In order to help us better support our large collection of languages and continue to enhance user experience, you can donate.
