===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.
