| Time | Narration |
| 00:01 | Welcome to a presentation that introduces the spoken tutorial technology that has the potential to make India IT literate. |
| 00:09 | My name is Kannan Moudgalya. I am from IIT Bombay. I lead this project. |
| 00:15 | What is a Spoken Tutorial? |
| 00:17 | It is a recording of a computer session, |
| 00:19 | explaining some software along with a running commentary. |
| 00:24 | The resulting movie is the spoken tutorial, |
| 00:27 | typically of 10 minutes duration. |
| 00:30 | Steps in creating Spoken Tutorials are- |
| 00:33 | Outline , Script |
| 00:35 | Recording, Translating the script into other languages and |
| 00:38 | Dubbing. Let me explain each of these steps. |
| 00:42 | We will show the outline of two software systems: |
| 00:47 | Xfig and PHP/MySQL. |
| 00:52 | I have already downloaded all the required links for this tutorial from http://spoken-tutorial.org |
| 01:03 | Let us see the outline for 'Xfig'. |
| 01:09 | Let us see the outline for 'PHP'. |
| 01:15 | Let us go to the next slide. |
| 01:19 | The 2nd step in creating spoken tutorials is the Script. |
| 01:24 | As a movie needs a good script, |
| 01:26 | a spoken tutorial also needs a good script. |
| 01:29 | The script of the current tutorial is here. |
| 01:38 | The guidelines to write a script are here. |
| 01:45 | A tutorial that explains the guidelines will also be available soon. |
| 01:52 | I will now create a short 'spoken tutorial' that explains how to send an email from a gmail account. |
| 02:00 | Let me invoke iShowU, a screen recording software. |
| 02:06 | Observe a rectangle on the screen. |
| 02:09 | Whatever comes within this rectangle will get recorded. |
| 02:15 | I have opened Netscape. |
| 02:17 | I have placed it exactly within this rectangle. |
| 02:22 | It is pointing to gmail. |
| 02:25 | I will speak in Tamil. |
| 02:27 | Let me start recording. |
| 02:30 | Guest.spoken aaga login seygiren gmail ai thirandagi vittadu. |

| 03:11 | Send button moolam email ai anuppugiren |
| 03:16 | ippodu sign out seygiren nanri, vanakkam |
| 03:26 | I just ended the recording. |
| 03:28 | Immediately, the recording software creates a movie. |
| 03:32 | Let me first close Netscape and iShowU. |
| 03:43 | Let me now play the recorded movie. |
| 03:47 | Recording plays... |
| 03:53 | Let us advance it. |
| 03:57 | Recording plays... |
| 04:04 | Let me close this. |
| 04:09 | Let us now go to the next slide. |
| 04:11 | This is what I call as the spoken tutorial. |
| 04:14 | School going children can also create spoken tutorials – it is very easy. |
| 04:20 | Let me now explain the tools we have for recording. |
| 04:24 | On Linux, recordMyDesktop. |
| 04:27 | A spoken tutorial explains how to do this. |
| 04:37 | Recording plays... |
| 04:43 | On Windows, we have Camstudio. |
| 04:47 | This spoken tutorial explains how to do this. |
| 04:52 | Both are FOSS. |
| 04:59 | A tutorial gives guidelines for narration. |
| 05:03 | Let me play that. |
| 05:08 | Recording plays... |
| 05:16 | Let me come back to slides. |
| 05:19 | The 4th Step in creating spoken tutorials is translating the script into local languages |
| 05:26 | to make it accessible for people weak in English. |
| 05:31 | I will show translated scripts for getting started on Scilab in |
| 05:35 | Hindi, Marathi and Bengali. |
| 05:40 | Hindi, Marathi and Bengali. |
| 05:46 | Let us go back to the browser. |
| 05:49 | Using the script, we change the spoken part only; |
| 05:53 | video remains the same. |
| 05:56 | On Linux, we can use Audacity and ffmpeg |
| 06:00 | A spoken tutorial explains how to do this. |
| 06:06 | Let me minimize this browser. |
| 06:09 | Underneath this, I have another browser with several tabs. |
| 06:13 | Let me play this: Recording plays... |
| 06:31 | On Windows, we can use Movie Maker. |
| 06:38 | A spoken tutorial explains how to do this . |
| 06:42 | Let us go to the next slide. |
| 06:50 | We will now see Scilab spoken tutorials in Hindi, Malayalam and Bengali. |
| 07 06 | Recording plays... let me play Malayalam. Recording plays... let me play bengali.. Recording plays... |
| 07:46 | Let us go back here to slides. |
| 07:50 | Let us discuss how to present complex topics through spoken tutorials. |
| 07:54 | After all, a spoken tutorial is only ten minutes long. |
| 07:59 | By combining spoken tutorials, advanced topics can also be taught. |
| 08:03 | If sufficient small steps are available, |
| 08:06 | Himalayas can also be climbed. |
| 08:09 | Let us now view the study plans for LaTeX and Scilab. |
| 08:20 | LaTeX study plans.. |
| 08:26 | Scilab study plans.. |
| 08:29 | Let us go to the next slide. |
| 08:32 | One can bridge digital divide through spoken tutorials. |
| 08:36 | For example, one can explain: * how to buy train tickets through irctc. |
| 08:41 | How to locate low cost agricultural loans. |
| 08:44 | How to locate information on primary health care. |
| 08:47 | How to obtain information on first aid. |
| 08:51 | How to do web search to locate the shop that sells TVs at the lowest price. |
| 08:56 | Indeed, this list is endless. |
| 08:58 | As a matter of fact, this approach can be used to bridge digital divide. |
| 09:04 | Spoken tutorials are released under creative commons license. |
| 09:08 | These are available for free download from the spoken tutorial website. |
| 09:13 | Let us discuss the honorarium available for creating a ten minute spoken tutorial- |
| 09:19 | Rs. 3,500 to create script and slides. |
| 09:23 | Rs. 500 for review by novice or beginner. |
| 09:28 | Rs. 1,000 for recording the spoken tutorial - this can be done by the beginner as well. |
| 09:34 | Rs. 1,000 for translation into a local language. |
| 09:37 | Rs. 500 for dubbing into a local language. |
| 09:40 | To be paid after review and acceptance. |
| 09:43 | The above amounts are for a ten minute spoken tutorial. Actual honorarium will be proportional to the number of minutes. |
| 09:50 | There is a one time bonus of Rs. 5,000 also. |
| 09:54 | Our target audience is a remote child, |
| 09:57 | working alone at midnight without anyone to help her. |
| 10:00 | In other words, spoken tutorials need to be created for self learning. |
| 10:05 | We actively promote Open Source Software. |
| 10:08 | Conduct workshops through student clubs, using spoken tutorials and financial support. |
| 10:13 | We also look for Campus Ambassadors. |
| 10:16 | We have a spoken tutorial on Campus Ambassador programme. |
| 10:21 | Let us play it. Recording plays.. |
| 10:35 | Let us show the web site of our project: http://spoken-tutorial.org/ |
