Auralog, the First Company in the World to Apply Speech Recognition Technology to Language Learning Software Presents…

TELL ME MORE® 8.0

London, October 15th 2007 Lights, camera… TELL ME MORE® 8.0 now offers its users the chance to become real-life actors in their foreign language learning programs!

This new version from the world leader in interactive language learning includes a revolutionary, new interactive activity: Role Play. In the Role Play activity, students dub actors in short clips taken from actual films and television series, such as "The Magic of Vincent" and "Between Two Worlds."

Based on a simple karaoke model, the Role Play activity allows students to approach spoken language learning in a fun, interactive way. Users first practice pronouncing the character's lines from a selected film, and then dub the actor in real time as the speech recognition software evaluates their pronunciation. To aid their interpretation, users have access to dialogue scripts. A screening of the student-dubbed version of the film then enables the students to better appreciate their performance.

With the addition of the Role Play activity, TELL ME MORE® 8.0 now includes more than 250 hours of language learning content per language and 40 different types of activities. This makes TELL ME MORE® 8.0 without a doubt the most complete and entertaining language learning solution on the market.

TELL ME MORE® 8.0 retains the wealth of resources that made the previous version, TELL ME MORE® Intelligent Solutions, a must-have. Students will continue to benefit from pedagogical and technological advantages indispensable to mastering a full range of foreign language skills, including reading, writing, speaking, listening, and cultural competencies.

The greatest pedagogical advantage for students, however, is the capacity to personalise their training schedules through three lesson modes – the Free-to-Roam Mode, the Guided Mode, and the Dynamic Mode – all of which analyse the student's progress in real time.

Available only on DVD-ROM, TELL ME MORE® maximises use of the latest multimedia technologies in order to offer students the greatest possible range of interactive experiences. In this way, students can have a language immersion experience through interactive dialogues based on speech recognition technology and MPEG videos. TELL ME MORE® 8.0 now includes one hour of video activities for each level. In addition, S.E.T.S.® technology and 3D phonetic animation enable users to work on their pronunciation.

Learning away from the computer is also an option. Thanks to the extraction tool, users can copy TELL ME MORE® audio files, along with instructions for dialogues, dictations, etc. Students now have even greater freedom to shape their foreign language learning. Once students have finished, they can opt to conclude their training programs with a TELC practice test that has answers provided and available to print.

TELL ME MORE® is, therefore, indispensable for anyone who truly wants to improve his or her language skills.

With over three million copies sold worldwide, TELL ME MORE® has received high acclaim both in France and internationally.

Distributed by Interactive Ideas in the UK TELL ME MORE® offers three levels in one package for English, Spanish, Italian, German and French. The English language DVD-ROM has twice the content, providing the user with a choice between American and British English.

Each language is available for £49.99 inc, on DVD-ROM only.
