!AWOct94/Goodies/French/!Dis-le/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

"The computer literally speaks to you in the native tongue"

This product is SHAREWARE.

SHAREWARE means ONLY if you like it, do you pay for it. It is a way for you to examine the program before purchase.  Shareware is a means for software firms to distribute and advertise their software at no cost to all corners of the globe.  The result is that there are no advertising costs to pass on to you the consumer, hence the stuff is much less expensive. Sadly this great system is abused and some people don't pay for the goods, which forces the prices of software up.

The Interface module is copyright of Simon Huntingdon, but is in the 'public domain'.  There is normally a document file which MUST accompany the module for programmers. I have permission from him to exclude it from this program.  If you would like this mail me with a disc and a stamp and I will send it to you.

FIDO: 2:254/27.0 'Jick'

The SampPlayer module is copyright of David Radford. Special thanks to him for his permission to let the module 'stand alone'.  SampPlayer Module is a part of !Player which plays compressed Amadeus sound samples. !Compress compresses them to 50% of their original size whereas, Other compressors would only give you about a 10% savings. !Compress also uncompresses samples.  !Player and !Compress are in the 'public domain', but are copyright of David Radford. Send me a disc and a stamp and I will send you these programs free of charge.

The creation of the program:

While I was working in a school one day I saw a foreign language teacher's aide quizzing a student on the meaning of spanish words in a corner of the classroom and the idea for the SayIt series. They were performing a task very similar to what this program does and I thought, "Gee, I can get a robot to do that!"

Getting Help:

The SayIt series has been programmed to respond to Acorn's !Help program found on the App disc in Risc-OS 2 and on the icon bar in Risc-OS 3.

If you need help with SayIt, phone or write, even unregistered users will receive a warm welcome.

How to work the program:

When the program loads a flag of the respective country will load on the icon bar.  Clicking the mouse on that icon will pop up a window.

The computer will say a word. You will have an indefinite period to choose one of the four choices. If you do not hear the word clearly there is a repeat button.  You will not be penalised for asking to hear the word repeated.

Tick the answer you think is correct.

If you are right the computer will move on to another word and praise you with a random response.

If you are wrong it will tell you that you were wrong with a random phrase, and NOT move on to the next word.

There are two extra buttons on the screen.  One will start a new session.  The other will repeat the word so you can either get a better feel for the word or remind you if you have forgotten it, or if you didn't hear it in the first place.

Above these two buttons is another smaller tick-box which will make the foreign word disappear so that you do not have any clues to the meaning of the word other than the sound.  It is called the 'difficult' box.

The scoreboard reads correct, wrong, attempts, and percentage in that order from top to bottom. You should try to achieve above 70% at all times. Where I come from (the USA) the grading is as follows:

A.........90% - 100% (excellent)
B.........80% - 89%   (good)
C.........70% - 79%  (satisfactory)
D.........60% - 69%  (poor)
F..........59% or below (failing)

The entire screen is in THE language to give you a feel for working in that language. 

The iconbar menu says Info, Earphones, and Quit.   The Earphone choice, when ticked, will direct all of SayIt's sound to the headphone socket for classroom or late night study, but will not interrupt the other parts of the Archimedes sound system, like the 'error beep'.

There used to be a problem where you couldn't run two copies (ie french and german) at the same time.  This has now been fixed on all copies of 1.20 +

If you don't have a hard disc or you intend to use this across econet you will find this program a bit slow.  A little technique to get perfect performance from this program is to create a RAM disc of 800K and copy the program into it, and then run the RAM disc copy. You will find that you have as close to true human speech as a computer can deliver.

This program pushes the now possible limits of the machine both with memory, disc space, and disc access.

Comments about the people behind the voices:

I have purchased talk tapes in the past where you feel the person speaking definitely has an english accent. I assure you that all speakers in the SayIt series are native to that language, and that the language they speak is their mother tongue. I have been assured that they have no speech impediments and speak a 'main stream' dialect of that language (ie for english you will not have someone with a southern USA drawl).

Catherine (!Dis-le, french)
Born in Belgium.  Came to this country (England) with her husband who is going to medical school.

Karin (!Sprich, german)
Born in Germany.  Came to this country (England) with her english husband, who after six months now works at the school where SayIt was conceived, completely by accident.

Santiago (!Dilo, spanish)
Born in Spain.  Met an english girl and the rest is history.

Copyright Information:

You are allowed to examine the program and to pass it on to friends, people, and BBS's, without fear of legal repercussions. If you do pass it around remember this is shareware and encourage your friends that there is a fee for using it. 

Only registered users may 'part out' the program for their private use.

The SampPlayer module IS NOT PD and must not be separated from !Player or any of the !SayIt series. David Radford has been kind enough to give special permission to me for this purpose, for which I am forever in his debt. 
 
PD Libraries are allowed to pass it on but if it is good enough to list they should purchase one copy, if they exceed �15 profit from it.

THIS PRODUCT MAY NOT BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, OR COPIED BY ANYONE FOR ANY FEE IN EXCESS OF �2.00 UK (Sept. 1993).  THIS WILL INFRINGE THE COPYRIGHT, AND CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS WILL FACE PROSECUTION.

Happy Computing,
