What is
Chatback?
This three disc package is the first one written by
ourselves which isn't aimed directly at the dyslexia market. Instead it
is aimed at the needs of users who require help with Speech therapy or
Auditory discrimination.
This program
allows the teacher to present the pupil with recorded examples of words
and listen to how they repeat them, which will be of interest to speech
therapists and any teachers working with pupils with auditory discrimination
problems. The aim is to let the pupil listen carefully to a word and compare
their own attempt to reproduce the sound.
Visual
display of phonemes
A useful feature of the program is a display of a mouth saying the appropriate
phonemes. When required, this will 'mouth' the sequence of sounds making
up a word. The editor supplied with Chatback enables the teacher
to quickly prepare new word lists.
