Your help is needed so that learners of all ages and experience levels can improve their speech pronunciation and reading with free open source web services and apps for desktop and mobile platforms.

The Spoken Language Instructional Content development System (also called the "Choose Your Own Reading and Pronunciation Adventure") will allow anyone with a microphone and Flash-enabled web browser, Android, Apple, or OLPC device to easily use and create new pronunciation assessment and reading tutoring systems utilizing speech recognition for any language-independent practice texts. As reading or spoken language learners attempt to read phrases out loud to work through their assignments, their speech and associated pronunciation fluency will be measured by phonemes, diphones, words, phrases and aggregated phrase scores to track and chart their progress. The entire system will be published as open source and made available for free using a freemium web hosting model, initially for the world's English language learners.
