We argue that there is an important and as yet unmet need for software that allows each cultural group to express the written word in an indigenous character set. As an example, we present a word - processing system, Ta Kupu, designed for use in teaching the Maori language to children. The program simplifies the input task by taking advantage of the structural features of the Maori language. The system also includes a data logging, evaluation, and analysis tool, Tirohia, that permits teachers to evaluate a child's familiarity with the word - processor. The main features of the evaluation software include : the ability to replay a record of a child's interaction in real time ; facilities for summarising a child's consistency of use and level of performance; and the capability of examining interaction log files at a fine - grained level. We also address the application of these data logging and evaluation techniques to the areas of human factors research, interface design and interface evaluation.
