MDB Speaking Flashcards1.3

The MDB Speaking Flashcards is a software application which reads mdb databases, loads the records into its internal buffer and converts them into flashcards equipped with multilingual speech.This software application reads mdb databases created by Microsoft Access, its Jet Engine, or other capable database applications. The MDB Speaking Flashcards has a native capability to create, maintain and view mdb databases, tables and fields.The flashcards are capable of displaying text, or text-represented data, and bitmap images which are embedded in the records. Only the Commercial Version is capable of simultaneously displaying multiple images on the flashcards. The flashcards will also play all wave files which are either embedded or linked in the records.The unique power of the application comes from its ability to generate speech utilizing the speech application programming interface (SAPI) provided by Microsoft. For its ordinary function, every field can have its own speaker with a unique set of characteristics such as language, gender, age, pitch, speed and volume. For its dialog function, the application can define a set of speakers of varying sets of characteristics. This set of speakers is referred to as a dialog point identified by a name or label. It is also referred to as dialog speaker. The actual speaker to use is determined by the value of the field assigned as the basis field. Any field can have a dialog speaker which will then vary depending upon the value of the basis field.Dialog points are specific to a table or query because they are tied up with particular fields of such table or query
