In Fall 2019, I created a text viewer for the Karuk language for my Berkeley Language Center Fellowship project.

One of my earliest web projects, I built a React application which loaded the Karuk language text data and worked with audio recordings of the texts' sentences. Because it relies on the existing Karuk language data, I consider this project to be a simple extension to the hard work put into creating the Ararahih'urípih project.

The sentence audio can be played back either at normal speed or at half speed by toggling the control, a button with a turtle emoji (🐢). This feature was added with language learning in mind.

The original page used an external API to load the language data. As this is no longer online, I reworked the code to view just two texts. The 2019 project could view all of the Karuk texts which had sentence audio. This new (2024) variant contains two texts: Sentences about Food and Drink, which has audio, and "Coyote's Homecoming", which does not.
