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 minute duration
00:30	Steps in Creating Spoken Tutorials are
00:33	Outline
00:34	Script
00:35	Recording
00:36	Translating the script into other languages and
00:38	Dubbing
00:39	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
02:40	compose button moolam aarambikap pogiren kannan@iitb.ac.in
02:56	Subject :Test
03:03	ingu varuvom
03:06	This is a test mail
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 minimise 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 to back here 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,
09:58	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”
