Speech enabled shopping application using Microsoft SAPI
No full textPCs are no longer a playground for a few computer freaks. They have changed from big pocket calculators to be used as everyday tools with seemingly unlimited options. In modern countries using a computer has become a basic requirement like reading and writing. The importance of digital information has already reached such an enormous level that many start-up companies and even corporations provide information largely digital. Also politicians around the world try to find their ways to a paperless e-Government. Obviously this is a positive progress because it means up to date information at any time and for everybody. But is this really accessible to everybody? People with disability such as visual impaired are often forgotten though the number of the elderly for who it's very hard to identify the screen text is already high and increasing continuously during the next decades. So it would be a real relief to have the option to use ears to listen to the contents and use voices to navigate and control the computer systems. Even if sometime it is for normal people, it would be more comfortable to work with speech enabled applications. Microsoft has designed an interface called SAPI (Speech Application Programming Interface) which
supports dynamic speech input and output, and integrated it in its current operating system. With the API it is possible to develop speech enabled applications without caring about the details of synthesis and recognition. In this paper, a windows application ispresented to demonstrate the speech-enabled application using Microsoft SAPI

The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles
