With MobilED audio wiki students and teachers may use wiki and wiki content, such as Wikipedia, with their standard mobile phones. MobilED audio wiki works as follows:
1. A user can search for a term by sending a SMS-message to the server,
2. The server then calls the user, and
3. A speech synthesizer will read the article found in the wiki (e.g. in Wikipedia).
4. If the term is not found in the wiki, then the user can contribute his/her story by dictating it to the system.
In 2006 the application was tested and results compared between a poor, rural school environment and an affluent private school environment in South Africa. z
