Has anyone found a replacement for Spanish Pronounciation Tutor (SPT)?

That Hyperglot program out of utenn was bought by The Learning Company
(1995) and they are replacing it with the Learn to Speak Series. This new
series doesn't appear to be as strong.

Here are points we like about SPT:
1.  Real native voice models, male and female, not synthesized speech
2.  Video clips showing the position of the mouth for vowels
3.  Moving diagram of the articulatory organs showing their position in speech
4.  Practice options for all levels of individual sounds, sound
combinations (e.g. diphthongs), and sounds in sentence contexts
5.  Exercises for syllabication practice (how to divide words by syllable)
6.  Intonation exercises with graphs showing voice modulation
7.  Ability to record and play back for comparative purposes
8.  Instant loading and response at all points with no freezing.


Thanks.

Marty
