Bu ta papia.Nu ta skrebe.

Kriolu written the way it sounds — in ALUPEC, the orthography made for the language. Papia Studio is a small set of free tools that get it right for you — speech, writing, and a wordlist we all share.

No account. No API key. Your text stays in your browser.

DICTIONARY
Look up

One shared wordlist behind every tool in the studio.

Three steps, one paragraph at a time

AI drafts, you approve. Nothing is published, saved to a server, or corrected behind your back.

01

Paste your English

Or start in Kriolu — monolingual documents are first-class, not a stripped-down mode.

The boat leaves the port of Mindelo at six.
02

Make a draft

One keystroke. The Kriolu streams into the right pane in ALUPEC, usually in under five seconds.

Barku ta sai di portu di Mindelu as seis.
03

Check my Kriolu

Forbidden characters, Portuguese-interfered spellings and glossary conflicts, grouped by severity.
