This electronic dictionary application can also be used to add, edit and delete words. Besides the goal of designing and manufacturing the electronic dictionary, itis expected to help the people who may want to learn the Biak language and in particular the tribal people of Biak who may not fluently speakBiak language because of lack of vocabulary or who may not speak Biak language at all. In addition, it is expected that this application can also be used to maintain the culture of the nation, especially the preservation of Biak language.
