|  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 '''link'''s 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.

|  02:56
| '''Subject :Test'''

|-
|  03:03

|-
|  03:06
| This is a test mail.

| 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 '''tool'''s 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 '''tab'''s.

|-
|  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/
