Hello.
     You could try Brigham Young's Oral Testing Software (OTS). You can 
check the site at http://creativeworks.byu.edu/hrc/
     Jerry Larson gave a presentation at the IALL conference and we are 
going to try it, too.

>I wanted to ask you a question about authoring software
>for foreign languages. We are working on a project to construct tests that
>we could use in our language lab to assess aural and oral proficiency in 
>our
>first-semester students.  Do you know of any authoring software packages on

>that we could then use for testing (questions pulled at random for each

>Seems to me just about any authoring tool such as authorware or toolbook

>do the random test bank part and can work with audio/video as well as text.
>What I don't know is the part about students being able to record to a zip

>If there are some authoring tools that are more language friendly than
