Spoken
Tutorials, a technology that explains software applications in your mother
tongue, will be launched by the Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay.


Nowadays, software applications find use in everyday living. For example, to
book a train ticket online one can log on to www.spoken-tutorial.org and get a
demonstration on steps to book an e-ticket with a commentary in a language of
one’s choice.

The
technology developed by IIT-B will now allow non-English speakers to negotiate
the information highway.

The
technology will soon be introduced in educational institutions across the
country by the National Mission on Education through Information and
Communication Technology (NMEICT), an initiative of the Human Resource
Development Ministry.
