BETT 2006 Shows Innovation and Creativity

BETT 2006 showed this week education products from over 600 vendors to about 27,000 educators, parents, and others interested in information and communication technology (ICT). BBC News featured a story about a talking pen as an aide for language learning.

Among (these vendors) are Mantra Lingua, manufacturers of Talking Pen Francais. Move the pen over a word, sentence or picture and the student hears the words spoken by a native speaker.

Mantra’s managing director, Robene Dutta, says the pen can bridge the gap between traditional classroom language learning and the practice pupils may need to improve understanding and pronunciation.

I wonder if someone will make such writing-to-speech available as simple self contained option with a digital pen.
