What it is
Ifá Scribe is the ecosystem’s transcription tool for recording, uploading, and processing Yorùbá-focused material. It supports the wider mission of turning oral knowledge into usable study material without severing it from the living tradition.
Why it matters
Preservation
Class recordings, chants, and study materials can be captured and revisited more easily.
Study support
Students gain a bridge between live instruction and asynchronous review.
Ecosystem fit
It sits alongside Ifá Orator and the wider language program rather than competing with them.
How it fits the Yorùbá Language Program
- Supports language learners who need repeat exposure beyond live class sessions.
- Supports advanced Odù and oral-literature study where transcription quality matters.
- Supports the future LMS direction by turning recordings and learning assets into reusable learning material.
