AI-powered interactive app for learning traditional Nusantara scripts — Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, Lampung & Batak. Like Duolingo, but built for Indonesia's endangered cultural heritage.
ARUTALA was born from a single insight:
when the 2021 Javanese Script Congress planned to
expand aksara usage in Yogyakarta's public spaces, most people —
including native Javanese — couldn't read it.
"Kita aja orang Jawa nggak semua bisa baca,
apalagi orang luar daerah atau turis asing."
— Marchel Shevchenko
After 2.5 years of research and data collection
(powering IndoLLNet), the team built the full app MVP in just
1.5 months. Within weeks of BETA launch,
Arutala recorded 300,000+ user activities,
with over 60% from outside Indonesia —
USA, Singapore, China, and Hong Kong.
Aksara Nusantara adalah
identitas bangsa.
Arutala hadir agar ia tidak hilang —
tapi justru bersinar lebih terang
di era digital.
