Question ID: 412666
I am trying to find the Web site of a specific piece of software I
read about in the International Herald Tribune this year. The software
was for language learning and was available for learning a variety of
languages. The defining feature of the software was that it would
record voice, do some kind of spectral analysis compared with samples
of native speakers, and play back a pitch-modified sample (not just
simple play back for comparison). At the time some European languages
were available, with Japanese to be available later. I vaguely
recollect that the software was developed by an Israeli company, but
this was featured in the IHT article and not on the company's Web
site. I want the URL of the company's/software's Web site.

There is no answer at this time.

Hello 1dominic-ga,

It appears to me that you're referring to the software SpeedLingua.
The link to SpeedLingua's home page is:
http://www.speedlingua.com

A prominent Israeli company developing language learning & translation
software is Babylon. It's home page is located at:
http://www.babylon.com

In case you're looking for this information from a user's perspective,
i.e. if you want to use a software that matches the above description
for your requirements, I'd like to recommend to you software from
Rosetta Stone. Based on the limited description you've provided, I
think Rosetta Stone will be able to match your requirements. The link
to Rosetta Stone is:
http://www.rosettastone.com

Thanks for asking this challenging question!

Regards,
