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
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" [1]
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 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 minutes 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 program.
10:21	Let us play it.. “Recording plays”.
10:35	Let us show the web site of our project:http://spoken-tutorial.org/
10:45	The current tutorial is available here.
10:48	Where to contact us is here.
10:50	A list of FOSS systems available is through this wiki..
10:59	You may join the effort on any of these.
11:03	You may also propose work on new systems.
