===Introduction=== |
|||
In many countries where XOs are being deployed there are simply not enough literate people to teach literacy. Many areas will not have schools built during the lifetime of children, many areas with schools have huge illiteracy rates. We propose to combine two elements to build a teach-yourself literacy assistant activity: |
|||
* [[http://call.canil.ca/english/SynPhony2.html|SynPhony developed by Norbert Rennet based on Synthetic phonics]] |
|||
* [[http://espeak.sourceforge.net/|ESpeak]] |
|||
We would glue it into an Activity using the HTML5 offline specs; this way it could be used on any computer that had a browser which supported it. |
|||
===Action Steps=== |
|||
* Move existing SynPhony code to HTML 5 / SQL based database system with option to update from a server. |
|||
* Design format for the DB to accept new languages arbitarily (inc. as we move to using HTML5 ?) |
|||
* Integrate with speech markup language for use with ESpeak |
|||
* Define structure for linking words to other media files e.g. images |
|||
* Possibly include speech recognition options using FOSS engines? |
|||
* Field Testing! |
