ULTIMATE SPELLING TUTOR INSTRUCTIONS
The Ultimate Spelling Tutor Software Package is a set of programs
which allow you to use your voice to create custom spelling lists. These
lists can contain any words in any language. It is great for quizzing
your child on his/her weekly spelling words.
The following are instructions on how to use the Ultimate Spelling
Tutor Programs. The spelling tutor programs consist of two executable files,
Teacher.exe and Student.bat.
The Teacher.exe program is used by the teacher or parent to enter in the
weekly spelling words. To enter this program simply type --> Teacher
Your computer will now show a display with several words across the top
of the screen. These are valid commands for this program and can be selected
by pressing the arrow keys. The currently selected command should be flashing.
To enter the command select the command using the arrow key and press
the ENTER (carrage return) key. These commands are as follows:
QUIT -- This command is used to exit out of the program
ADD WORD -- This command is executed to add a word to your spelling list.
The computer will first have you type in the spelling word.
Next it will ask you to speak the
word in the microphone and finally speak a sentence using
the word. REMEMBER, -- YOU PRESS ANY KEY TO START RECORDING
AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY TO STOP RECORDING. It is also Important
to remember to SPEAK IN A LOUD CLEAR VOICE DIRECTLY INTO
THE MICROPHONE.
DELETE WORD -- This command allows you to remove any unwanted words
from your spelling list by selecting them and pressing
enter to remove them.
REVIEW WORDS -- This command allows you to review all the
words in your list, checking them for spelling
and how they sound.
GET LIST -- This command allows you to read in a spelling list
and change it using the DELETE WORD or ADD WORD commands.
SAVE LIST -- This command allows you to save you spelling list that you
have created on disk. It is nice to name your lists after
the childs name or a class name.
SETUP -- This command allows you to customize the voices by adding
your own voice as the introduction. This command walks
you through all the sentences that are used through out
the student program. REMEMBER TO SPEAK CLEARLY INTO
THE MICROPHONE WHILE RECORDING.
AN EXAMPLE LIST IS PROVIDED ON THIS DISK, THE NAME OF THE LIST IS 'TOM'
The second program provided is STUDENT.BAT, it uses the list you
created to quiz the child. To execute this program type STUDENT [list name].
To execute the example list type STUDENT TOM
This program is easy to use, it quizzes the child on the words in the list
repeating the list again and again. You can skip words or repeat words by
using the up and down arrow keys.
TO EXIT THIS PROGRAM PRESS THE ESC KEY ON THE KEYBOARD.
If the student gets all of the words correct in a pass of the list the
program will exit with the error code set to 1. This can be used to
reward the student by allowing him/her to play a game. To do this
feature modify the STUDENT.BAT file to include the name of the game as
described in that file.
This program requires a Sound Blaster or compatable in an IBM based
computer. It also requires a display that will run in EGA mode.
