lang activity proposition

[Horia PELLE]

Yes, something like that is what popped in my mind.
My thought was to just use the PNGs from art4apps.org, i.e. make phrases based on those images only, without introducing new images.
If “the powers that be” decide to implement this feature, I would love to get involved!

  I read about it, and my conclusion is that videos would complicate the whole thing, indeed.
  But I must confess that I was lured by Siddhesh’s idea to use audio examples instead of videos: if we have the right sentences and voice performances, they could sustain the emotional part of the speech pretty good! Would this alternative be easier to implement?

Hi,

I also believe that video is overkill for this. We can achieve the same goal with only an image a an audio voice as we do today.

I have a little gem for you. I started in 2012 a lang dataset in the Gtk+ version of GCompris. It is almost ready except for the audio voices to be recorded.

It is commented in the git version, from here:
https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-gtk/blob/master/src/lang-activity/resources/lang/lang.xml.in
https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-gtk/tree/master/src/lang-activity/resources/lang/intro

Also going furher on that, we could propose longer texts and have a feature in which each word  is underlined while it is spoken. Not that easy to achieve but would be a nice teaching tool.

Bruno.
