| 26 | The MÄori Macron Restoration Service is a free service that automatically adds macrons to MÄori documents.
|
|---|
| 27 | The service supports restoration of Microsoft Word 2007 documents, Open Office Text documents and text files.
|
|---|
| 28 | The service also supports restoration via direct input.

| 33 | In written MÄori, a macron is the horizontal bar positioned above a long-vowel, indicating the correct pronunciation of the vowel.
|
|---|
| 34 | Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, many MÄori texts found on the web are not written using macrons.
|
|---|
| 35 | As a consequence, the pronunciation of the vowel is generally indicated by introducing a second vowel
|
|---|
| 36 | or not indicated at all.
|
|---|
| 37 | </p>
|
|---|
| 38 | <p class="note">
|
|---|
| 39 | In written MÄori, this poses several problems such as the loss of phonological, morphological and lexical information.
|
|---|
| 40 | In verbal MÄori, this poses a potential problem of an embarrassing slip of the tongue. This service solves these problems
|
|---|
| 41 | by automatically adding macrons to MÄori documents.
