- program of its type on any platform, Version 1.0 released in 1990.
-
- Features include:
-
- 1. Voice Echo - add reverberation to the voice - and vary the
- depth of the echo from a thin echo to an auditorium-sized return.
- 2. Auto - Set the program to endlessly repeat the words and
- listen to them while you do something else.
- 3. Twenty-five to thirty-five different scenes.
- 4. Digitized sound - French is Parisian accent; Spanish is
- Bolivian accent; Chinese is Mandarin dialect; Portuguese is Brazilian
- Portuguese.
- 5. Quizzes - to test your new knowledge
- 6. Dictionary - Foreign Language/English and English/Foreign Language
- 7. Russian - Cyrillic characters; Chinese - traditional characters;
- Japanese - katakana, hiragana, and Kanji; Korean - Hangul characters.

- Spanish, French, Russian, and English for German/French/Spanish speakers,
- English for Japanese/Chinese speakers, English for Korean speakers, and
- English for Russian speakers.
-
- New - Make your own Audio Gallery: English for your native language,
- or Your Native Language for English/German (See section in this file
- on making your own Audio Gallery).
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Installation: Make a new directory on your WorkBench, and copy
- the *.lha file you just downloaded to that directory. Uncompress
- the archive and, from the WB, click on the "GalleryDemo" icon.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Now you can make your own Audio Gallery to learn English in
- your own language. To see how to do this, start with the demo:
-
- 1. Download the AGEngRom.lha demo program.
-
- 2. After loading it onto your hard drive, go to
- the "alphabets" directory and pull up the "pic01"
- file in your text editor. You will see some numbers
- and then some English words....
-
- table
- door
- chair
- ...
-
- further down, you will see some French words...
-
- la table
- la porte
- la chaise
- ...
-
- 3. Translate the English words into your language, and
- replace the French words with your translations.
-
- 4. Save the file and start the program. Select a
- topic (there is only selectable topic in the demo)
- and after the scene loads, click on "French" in the
- "Translation" menu. Also be sure to select "translation"
- in the "English Gallery" Menu so the translations are
- visible.
-
- 5. Be sure not to add any blank lines, extra LF or CR
- characters, or otherwise alter the "pic01" file, or else
- the Audio Gallery program won't work! To be safe, make a
- copy of the "pic01" file before you start experimenting.
-
- 6. To change the WorkBench (GUI) interface for Audio
- Gallery so that the menus and buttons will be in your own
- language, you will have to change the "Constants" file.
- This is a longer process; send e-mail to the author for
- details. Basically, you must modify all of the "French"
- lines to your language. Or you could modify all of the
- "Spanish", or "German" lines.
-
- For your language in German, please contact the author.
- The process is only a little longer. By this is meant to
- have your language with the GUI in German.
-
- The full version of Audio Gallery is a copyrighted
- program, however if you would translate the full
- ("Full" meaning all of the vocabulary - not just the GUI)
- English version to your language (exceptions - French,
- German, Spanish, Italian, English, Chinese, Korean,
- Japanese, Portuguese and Russian - which have already
- been done) you then have the right to distribute or sell
- as many copies of the new version translated version in
- the native country of that language, as you wish. For
- example, suppose you translated it into Serbian. Then
- you could sell or distribute as many copies of Audio
- Gallery in Yugoslavia/Serbia as you wish, but not
- elsewhere.
-
- There is a similar process to make an Audio Gallery so
- that others can learn your native language - however, you
- must record the vocabulary, too. Please contact the author
- if you really want to do this. Again, you would have all
- rights to distribute the new version in your own country.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Distribution: This demo is freely distributable.
