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. Matt Lewis

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. Mike Sabal
