===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. | |||
