What is Sanako Pronounce

Sanako Pronounce is an easy software solution for improving oral skills in English and in Foreign languages. It is simple, straightforward and immediately usable for pronunciation and speech practice. Pronounce can be used as a stand-alone solution for pronunciation practice or in a classroom environment where the teacher is able to manage, follow and evaluate student work.

This solution is very easy to use as students have only three steps to follow: 1) first they listen to the authentic model sentence, 2) they repeat saying what they hear, and 3) they get a score and can listen back to their own recording.

There are two different applications in the Sanako Pronounce family:

Sanako Pronounce
Improve your students’ oral skills in a foreign language class with the help of text-to-speech technology and voice recognition.
Sanako Pronounce with Editor
Practice pronunciation with identical tools as in Pronounce with additional features that allow you to create your own custom exercises by just copy-pasting text which is then automatically transformed to spoken audio.

PRACTICING LANGUAGE LAB SANAKO PRONUNCIATION MODULE

If you followed the previous step, you now have some sentences ready in Pronounce. You can listen to the current sentence by pressing the Listen button.

Then you can record yourself repeating the sentence by pressing the Record button*. At this point, Pronounce will give an overall score for the sentence in the score meter. Individual words are color graded:

Listen to the current sentence
Record yourself repeating after the model
Play back your own recording and compare with the model audio.

Green on white = Correct pronunciation
Green on yellow = Room for improvement
Red = Word was not recognized

Score meter gives you an overall score for the sentence
Afterwards, play back your own recording by pressing the Play button and compare it with the model audio. When you are satisfied with the result, use the arrow keys or slider to move to the next sentence.

Speech recognition

The speech recognition features, including phonetic transcriptions, correct and incorrect words and pronunciation scores, require a Microsoft Windows speech recognition engine for the language used. Speech recognition engines are included Microsoft Windows operating systems and their additional user interface languages (Microsoft User Interface Language Packs).
If your operating system does not include a speech recognition engine for the currently selected language, the above features are unavailable and you will also see a yellow triangle icon at the bottom right corner of Pronounce. Clicking the icon will give the following error message.

USING LANGUAGE LAB SANAKO PRONOUNCE MODULE LAB IN EDITOR MODE

Easily transform any text material into spoken audio, allowing you to listen to an accurate high-quality pronunciation model.

STEP 1 – OPEN the Editor

When Sanako pronounce opens it does so in the Practice Mode so to start creating your own exercise click on the EDITOR tab.

STEP 2 – Locate or create your source text

In order to create your exercise there are three common methods.
Type in the Editor window
Copy and Paste from an existing document
Copy and Paste from an web page
The latter two methods can be achieved using any of the standard Windows methods for Copying and Pasting text along with the icons in the Editor window and the Edit – Paste menu option. Sanako Pronounce will support all UNICODE characters along with any of the language character support you may have installed to your PC for multiple languages such as French, German, and Spanish etc. This is essential in order to ensure that the voices heard by the students are as authentic as they should be – if the word should have a special character or accent then it must be used. An example of an added text is shown below.

STEP 3 – Consider how to break the text into sentences or phrases

The software will take the text and create a set of phrases and sentences based on the following logic.

When it “sees” a full stop “.” it will separate the text into a single phrase at this point.
If the text contains more than 40* characters without a full stop then it will look for “,;:” type characters to create the separate phrases. If however, this process would result in any phrase with less than 10* characters it will leave the phrase as is until the full stop.

You may consider taking the following action to the original text. Simply add a line break
to create the phrases you want as shown below.
You can then select the “Split text using line breaks only” option and effectively decide
exactly where you want the breaks to be

You can always toggle between the PRACTICE and EDITOR mode until you are happy.

Before saving, you may wish to tick the “Select qualities” option and select the required culture, gender and age options as shown below.

The result of saving with these options is that when your students open your saved exercise in Practice mode the Windows Operating System will look at the Text-ToSpeech (TTS) voices available to it and where possible it will select the most appropriate

STEP 4 – Save your work as an Exercise template

Select File – Save – Exercise template
Enter the file name for your exercise and then click Save
