  1. Este es un gran paso para hacer la comunicación más inclusiva, especialmente para los hablantes de filipino en todo el mundo. Junto con herramientas de traducción importantes como Microsoft Translator, las soluciones más pequeñas también cumplen un papel clave al conectar a las personas a través de diferentes formatos de comunicación. Por ejemplo, una herramienta gratuita de código morse a texto ayuda a los usuarios a convertir puntos y rayas en palabras fáciles de leer, haciendo que este método de comunicación más antiguo sea accesible para estudiantes y aficionados. En conjunto, estas herramientas demuestran cómo la tecnología sigue rompiendo barreras y facilitando la comunicación para todos, sin importar el idioma o el formato.
