===Support for learning languages===
The Internet provides unprecedented access to materials in many languages, and to speakers of many languages. There are numerous aids to [[learning languages]], including dictionaries of some languages, textbooks, reference grammars, and flash card software for studying vocabulary and inflections. We need more of this kind of material, and we also need
* Graded materials for language learners, written and spoken
* Text-to-speech with text coloring in the manner of [[SLS]] ([[in progress]])
* [[Speech recognition]], including speech-to-text
* Improved translation software
* Software that can carry out grammatical transformations, and create interactive drills on language structure
* Curricula and teaching/learning guides for languages
These materials fall into the categories of [[language content]], [[textbooks]] in a more advanced form incorporating software, and [[computational linguistics]]. Information on culture and other aspects of language communities is also essential.
