UniSkript Research and Literacy Institute exists to pioneer new applications and technology for the remediation and elimination of illiteracy and its collateral ill effects around the world.The Institute acts as a convener of best of breed thinkers, educators, pioneers and practitioners, seeking to bring an end to illiteracy. Resources are focused on scientific studies and testing with focus groups that result in new orthographies, contextualized training pedagogies, materials, training mechanisms and technology that can then be leveraged to remediate illiteracy among large populations of common language speakers.Significant focus is given to targeting UniSkript based applications and training in language specific areas of the world with the highest concentrations of illiteracy, absence of educational opportunity and accompanying poverty.Over 1.5 Billion people on our planet who speak one of its 7,000 distinct languages are functionally illiterate. That means over one seventh of the people in our world, are disenfranchised from the internet, the knowledge and benefits of health, education, economics and social integration, enjoyed by those of us who can read and write.Because of its intuitive and viral nature, UniSkript can change that picture very rapidly. The UniSkript patented 4 Questions Technique and generative phonological model, speeds the creation of new writing systems for all languages that currently have none and brings rapid literacy, to illiterate people of all language groups, stuck in an endless cycle of poverty and lack of education.UniSkript is a game changer in the field of education and the eradication of illiteracy and the poverty that results.URLI's mission is nothing less than the eradication of illiteracy in our lifetime.
