A General Public Application of Pedagogic and Linguistic Vocations of Speech Synthesis: Ordictée

We present the Ordictée© software which allows the pupil to independently practice dictation exercises. Ordictée acts as a substitute for the teacher with regards to reading and dictation correction and allows the pupil to be almost completely in control in a non-stressful environment. Ordictée is made up of three modules which respectively allow the pupil to carry out the actual dictation, the tutor to administer a dictation database whilst adapting each text to the context of the dictation and the designer to generically specify the environment in which the dictations are carried out. Ordictée uses the Proverb software from the company 'Elan Informatique'.
