AN ALICE Springs business has won a Regional Telstra Business Award for its innovative work using indigenous language to tell stories to aid in training.
italklibrary took out the micro-business category at the awards in Darwin on Saturday night.
Christopher Brocklebank started the company in 2002 with the venture dedicated to turning written information into stories that can then be spoken in any language and placed online at italklibrary.com
The company has created a national database of stories in multiple languages, including 14 Australian indigenous languages.
It has also collaborated with government departments and national customers – including beyondblue and FASCHIA – to deliver important messages through story.
The italklibrary is now expanding to include languages from Afghanistan, Sudan and Myanmar.
