6 <normal> "%%SpeakGoodChinese% keeps a table with practice statistics for each session.
7 It tabulates which words and phrases have been practiced, how often they have been practiced
8 and what the results were. This table can be inspected on the
9 %%Settings page% under %%Overview% with the %%Performance% button.
10 These data are lost between sessions."
12 <normal> "The tabulated practice statistics can be stored with the %%Save% button
13 and loaded again with the %%Read% button. This can be used to keep track
14 between sessions of the words and phrases that have been practiced and
15 how often they have been practiced."
17 <entry> "Monitoring and evaluating pronunciation"
19 <normal> "SpeakGoodChinese can store recorded exercises for pronunciation evaluation. On the
20 %%Settings page%, press the %%Save Audio% button and select a folder
21 to store the recordings. A blue dot will be displayed in the lower right corner of
22 the %%Main page% as long as recordings are stored. The recorded files have
23 file-names constructed of the pinyin spelling of the word and the extension %%.wav%.
24 Every recording will overwrite existing recordings of the same pinyin word.
25 The storing of new recordings can be terminated by pressing the %%Save Audio% button
26 again. When available, %%SpeakGoodChinese% will display and play the stored recordings
27 for evaluation until a new one is recorded. The recordings are available even when the
28 %%Save Audio% button has been deactivated."
30 <normal> "Practice statistics are automatically stored together with the speech recordings.
31 During the time the %%Save Audio% button is active, performance tables cannot be manipulated
32 (i.e., saved, read, or cleared) and the relevant buttons will be greyed out. "
34 <normal> "For evaluation and grading purposes, a student can upload a directory with stored
35 practice recordings and a corresponding practice summary. When the teacher loads
36 the required wordlist and then opens the student's practice summary, she can listen to
37 the audio recordings using the %%Play% button while she steps through the list.
38 A grading can be entered by pressing one of the number keys 0-9. This grading will be
39 stored in the practice summary. "
