Appreciate the shout out @martinemaron.bsky.social but I really was only there for the pitta (and yes it was outrageous) 🤣 #ICCB2025 @iccb2025.bsky.social

Junya Saito presented his research in Japanese at #ICCB2025, while the audience used Wordly to understand follow along in other languages. Another success in our effort to break #languagebarriers.
