1. Speech recognition? analysis? something like that..
I have an idea for a program that teaches phonics, to be used alongside
tutoring sessions with me. However, the IDEAL thing to cut down on the
amount of time each child needs me to spend one-on-one time would be to
include a way for the child to speak into the microphone and have the
program analyze whether they are correctly saying "ba", or whatever the case
may be.
I know that this is getting complicated...and I'm sure that it cannot be
told quickly in an email..but does anyone know of anything that I can look
at that might get me started with this?

The Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) does speech recognition (I have no idea how
good it is, however). It has a COM interface which can be used by EuCOM.
I've used it to have the computer speak, but I haven't tried much with
recognition. You may need to download the SAPI SDK (you can use SAPI usually
on Win2K and XP without additional d/l, IIRC) in order to get the docs and
the typelib's needed for wrappers.

The open source Sphinx project has a lot of promise. I've been thinking of
either wrapping the API myself or waiting for someone else to do it. If I
were to wrap it, it probably wouldn't be until next year sometime. I hope
this is the kind of thing you're looking for.
