digitally semi-literate text message dataset

Digitally semi-literate means those people who face challenges in digital enablement and are not too familiar with using smartphones for text message communication. Any progress to reduce the difficulty of their smartphone usage can help these people. These people are over one billion worldwide.
The dataset contains text messages in English (some of these are translations of local text messages) from semi-literate Indian users. The dataset has been derived from face to face surveys primarily. Only 10% by online surveys since these people are not comfortable in doing online surveys.

数字化半文盲群体指那些在数字化赋能方面面临挑战，且不甚熟悉使用智能手机进行短信通信的人群。任何旨在降低他们使用智能手机难度的进展都将有助于此类人群。全球范围内，此类人群已超过十亿。该数据集包含来自印度半文盲用户的英文短信（其中部分为当地短信的翻译），数据主要来源于面对面调查。由于这些人不太适应在线调查，因此仅通过10%的在线调查获得。
