Hello Jacob,


If your staff and students are interested in practicing their communication and pronunciation skills, we can offer Sanako Pronounce Live.


Pronounce Live is a cross platform software which offers Text-to-Speech (TTS) and speech recognition. Using TTS to transform any written content into live audio content, allowing users to practice any time and any place. Content can be sourced from anywhere, meaning students can learn what they want as easily as what they have to. 


Speech recognition offers feedback showing either that the user has been understood or offering insight where the user has perhaps been misunderstood or made a mistake. 


There is a brief video at the link here http://www.sanako.com/products/sanako-pronounce-live/ which shows how it works. If you want to try it please let me know.


Best wishes,
Mark.

Jacob:

 

At Richland College in Dallas, TX, we use in our language lab:

Mango

Pronunciator (my favorite)

Yabla

 

No problems with any of them.  We get Pronunciator for free from our college library, which in turn gets it free from the Texas State Library.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.

Subject: Language learning software for lab use

 

Greetings, Everyone.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the IALLT conference in Moorhead, MN and was very impressed with the deep knowledge displayed by the attendees and presenters as well as their willingness to share and offer advice. I hope you can help me with this inquiry.

 

As part of reviewing our offerings in the lab, I am wondering if we should be offering any kind of language learning or language practice software.

 

I would like to know if anyone can recommend any language learning software that would work well in a lab setting.

 

We currently offer courses in ASL, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish.

 

Also, if you have any good or bad experiences in relation to offering this kind of software, I’d love to hear them.

 

Regards,

 

Jacob
