The iVolavosa App was launched back in 2017 with the collaboration between the iTaukei Trust Fund and the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs. It was turning the iVolavosa Dictionary (book) into an app. It contains a 25,000-word dictionary, 18,979 audio, headwords; images, and links.
The purpose of this app is to include more developments or updates to meet the rapid growth in technology and to tackle the ever-growing demands of interested Fijian language learners. It has images such as marine species, plants, animals, cultural artifacts, and others which will be continuously updated.
The iVolavosa App aims to be interactive and engaging and is designed for educational purposes to cater to the needs of language users locally and most importantly the iTaukei diaspora communities and other interested learners.
