Thank you for evaluating the Japanese WordMaster™ software.
Japanese WordMaster™ is a new Japanese study aid which offers two highly integrated functions in one package - a vocabulary and Kanji study system, and a powerful multimedia Japanese-English Kanji dictionary.
It is also a complete dictionary authoring tool, which operates without KanjiTalk or the Japanese Language Kit. You can create your own custom dictionaries and add full color pictures, sound effects (such as pronunciation) and notes to word entries. Dictionaries may be customised to any course content and structure, allowing JWM to augment any type of existing Japanese language course text with multimedia CAL.
The help system built into the software provides concise information on how Japanese WordMaster™ works - simply press the question mark icon to launch the help system. If you wish to try out the JWM exercise system immediately after installation, select 'Start' from the 'Exercises' menu. Some sample words have already been set up.
Pricing and ordering information is shown on the 'JWM product range' help cards. Note that JWM is a retail product, so may be stocked by your local software dealer, Japanese language bookstore or University bookshop. Alternatively, you may wish to order directly from Vitronics.
This demo has been limited in various ways compared to the commercial edition: it can only be used for 10 hours, sample dictionaries are limited in size to 1000 words and a few features have been disabled. These are clearly indicated by appropriate alerts. It is designed to run under System 7.
You are welcome to distribute this demo freely - its CompactPro archive is around 1.2mb in size (ie. small enough to fit on a single high density floppy disk).
We hope you enjoy using the software and subsequently choose to purchase the commercial edition. Best of luck with your studies...
