Dear Fatima,

We have digitized most of our audio material.  

What the students get on their screen is the player with the rewind,
forward, play buttons...  We did think of having the text to accompany the
audio but it was too much time consuming, especially with Faculty changing
textbooks every other semester.

Good luck!

        Greetings to y'all,

        We are considering digitizing the audio tapes used in our language
programs.
        I would like to know your opinion on that. I am particularly
interested in 
        knowing:

        1. whether you have just digitized the tapes, and therefore students
are 
        listening to the texts with nothing on their computer monitor
(besides the 
        navigating commands, i.e rewing, fastfoward etc...)

        2- or that you have the transcriptions of the texts on the monitor
(with the 
        possibility of the text being highlighted or underlined as the audio
enfolds 
        )

        3. or that you have added some other options such as the possibility
of 
        playing the audio texts at a slower speed etc...

        I would appreciate all your comments, recommendations etc...
        Thanks y'all.

        fatima
