PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY

FOR ENGLISH WORDS

INTRODUCTION
PRONUNCIATION IN DUAL LANGUAGE UK PRONUNCIATION US PRONUNCIATION EACH WORD IN THE DICTIONAR HAVE TWO PRONUNCATION

ABSTRACT
The AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN PRONOUNCING ENGLISH WORDS USING BOTH BRITISH AND AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION. THE FRONT END OF PROJECT IS DESIGNED USING VISUAL BASIC. THE FRONT PAGE WILL BE DESIGN BY USING THE COMMAND BUTTON AND THE LABELS. THE LABELS ARE USED TO REFER THE WORDS. THIS PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY IS PLANNED FOR A SAMPLE SET OF WORDS BUT PROVISIONS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR EXTENDING THE DICTIONARY.

UK PRONUNCIATION
UK PRONUCIATION BASED ON AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION IN INDIA THE COMPUTER LANGUAGE IS AMERICAN ENGLISH THE STRESS OF VOWLES IS LESS WHILE SPEAKING WITH OTHERS THERE IS NO PERIOD INTERVAL BETWEEN THE WORDS

US PRONUNCIATION
US PRONUNCIATION IS BASED ON BRITISH PRONUNCIATION IN INDIA THE COMMUNICATION IS FULL BASED ON THE BRITISH ENGLISH ENGLISH BASED EVERY THING IN INDIA IS BASICALY BASED ON BRITISH PRONUNCIATON

PRONUNCING TECHNOLOGY
THE PRONUNCIATION TECHNOLOGY IS WHEN THE BUTTON CLICK THE PRONUNCIATION AUDIO WILL PRODUCE IN THE SPEAKER AS OUTPUT THE REQUIRED PRONUNCIATION IS IN THE FORM OF WAVE FORMAT FILES AND THEY ARE PLAYED BY USING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

CRITERIA IN INDIAN STUDIES

THE FIRST PROBLEM IS THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE IS USED IN THE COMPUTER BASED ENVIRONMENT. IN THAT FIELD OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT FULFILLED IN THAT THING

THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE PRONUNCIATION OR THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US IS DONE BY THE BRITISH PRONUNCIATION, SO THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT LANGUAGE AND THE COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT LANGUAGE MAKE MANY CAUSES BETWEEN STUDENTS ENVIRONMENT

PROBLEMS IN COMMUNICATION SKILLS

IT IS ABLE TO DEVELOP THE PRONOUNCING SKILLS AND MEANINGS ABOUT THE ENGLISH WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY. OUR INDIAN STUDENTS ARE MAINLY CONCENTRATING IN THE BRITISH ENGLISH ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTANDING THE PRONUNCIATION OF AMERICAN ENGLISH. IT WILL HELP THE STUDENTS TO LEARN THE BOTH PRONUNCIATION OF ENGLISH WORDS

HELPFUL SYSTEM TO STUDENTS

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS, THE STUDENTS KNOW ABOUT THE PRONUNCIATION OF ENGLISH WORDS IN OUR NATION WE MOSTLY USE THE BRITISH ENGLISH FOR COMMUNICATION AND AMERICAN ENGLISH ARE IN THE COMPUTER LANGUAGE ONLY THIS DICTIONARY WILL ACT AS AN ABLE ASSISTANT TO STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN THE PRONUNCIATION IN BRITISH AND AMERICA. THIS WILL HELP THEM IN THEIR SEARCH FOR SUITABLE EMPLOYMENT

BACKGROUND STUDY

ARCHITECTURE OF EXISTING SYSTEM

THE MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE PREVIOUS PROJECT WAS THERE HAVE ONLY ONE PRONUNCIATION WAS AVAILABLE, SO THE STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT ONE PRONUNCIATION ONLY IT IS DESIGNED WITH SINGLE PRONUNCIATION EITHER IN AMERICAN ENGLISH OR IN BRITISH ENGLISH. THIS IS MORE DIFFICULT TO COMPARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRONUNCIATIONS THE EXISTING SYSTEM IS MAINLY CONCENTRATED ON THE MEANING OF THE WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY IN ELECTRONIC MANNER, AND ALSO THEY USE ONLY ONE PRONUNCIATION FOR THE DICTIONARY THEY USED

DRAWBACKS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

MONO PRONUNCIATION SINGLE PRONUNCIATION EITHER IN AMERICAN ENGLISH OR BRITISH ENGLISH MAINLY CONCENTRATED ON MEANINGS OF THE WORDS AN UK STUDENT CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE PRONUNCIATION OF US PRONUNCIATION

PROPOSED SYSTEM
THE PREVIOUS REPORTS ARE FOR PARTICULAR PRONUNCIATIONS ONLY, BUT IN THIS PROJECT INCLUDE BOTH BRITISH AND AMERICAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION CLICK THE COMMAND BUTTON THE AUDIO WILL PRODUCED BY WHICH COMMAND BUTTON WE CLICKED AS BRITISH OR AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION. THE AUDIO IS PLAYED BY THE WINAMP PLAYER TO PRODUCE THE PRONUNCIATION. THE AUDIO FILES ARE CONNECTED USING AUDIO CONNECTIVITY THIS PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY IS PLANNED FOR A SAMPLE SET OF WORDS BUT PROVISIONS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR EXTENDING THE DICTIONARY

PROBLEM FORMULATION

MAIN OBJECTIVES
THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN PRONOUNCING ENGLISH WORDS USING BOTH BRITISH AND AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION IT IS ABLE TO DEVELOP THE PRONOUNCING SKILLS AND MEANINGS ABOUT THE ENGLISH WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY OUR INDIAN STUDENTS ARE MAINLY CONCENTRATING IN THE BRITISH ENGLISH ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTANDING THE PRONUNCIATION OF AMERICAN ENGLISH

METHODOLOGY
FORM LOADING DISPLAYING THE AVAILABLE WORDS PLAYING THE BRITISH AND AMERICAN PRONUNCIATIONS SEARCHING FOR A SPECIFIC WORD PLAYING THE REQUIRED PRONUNCIATIONS FOR THE SPECIFIC WORD

PLATFORM SELECTION

HARDWARE SPECIFICATION
PROCESSOR : INTEL DUAL 2 CORE HARD DISK CAPACITY : 40 GB RAM CAPACITY : 1 GB SPEAKERS THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS ARE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR THE PROJECT AS THE RUN IN THE SYSTEM. THE PROCESSOR INTEL DUAL 2 CORE, THEN THE HARD DISK MINIMUM CAPACITY IS 40 GB AND THE FOR THE FAST ACCESSING OF DATA FROM THE DATA BASE THE PROJECT REQUIRED THE 1 GB RAM CAPACITY.

SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION
OPERATING SYSTEM : WINDOWS XP FRONT END : VISUAL BASIC BACK END : MS ACCESS, AUDIO FILES, .EXE FILES WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER THE ABOVE SPECIFICATION IS THE SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROJECT, THE PROJECT THAT RUNNING IN THE OPERATING SYSTEM WINDOWS XP, FOR THE PROJECT FORM DESIGNING USING THE VISUAL BASIC AS THE FRONT END AND MS-ACCESS AS THE BACK END CONNECTIVITY. THE .EXE FILE THAT RUN THEIR PROGRAM IN ANY SYSTEM WITHOUT THE FRONT END REQUIREMENT.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL BASIC

THE FRONT END OF PROJECT IS DESIGNED USING VISUAL BASIC. THE FRONT PAGE WILL BE DESIGN BY USING THE COMMAND BUTTON AND THE LABELS. THE LABELS ARE USED TO REFER THE WORDS. THE COMMAND BUTTONS ARE ON THE SIDES OF EACH WORD. EACH WORD HAS TWO COMMAND BUTTON NAMED AS BRITISH AND AMERICAN USED TO INDICATE WHICH PRONUNCIATIONS WE NEED. WE CHOOSE VISUAL BASIC AS THE FRONT END OF OUR PROJECT IS EASIER TO DESIGN OUR FRONT PAGE, AND THERE HAVE MANY ADVANTAGES USING THE VISUAL BASIC. THE PREDEFINED INSTRUCTION TO COMMAND BUTTON, LABELS, TEXTBOX ETC.

ENHANCED WITH MULTIMEDIA

VISUAL BASIC IS THE ONE OF THE SOFTWARE WHICH DEALS WITH THE MULTIMEDIA PROGRAMMING. VISUAL BASIC CAN ALSO RUN THE ALL TYPE OF AUDIO AND VIDEO FILES. PLACE THE PLAYER AS WE WANT IN THE FORM THEN THE PLAYER EMBEDDED WITH THE VISUAL BASIC APPLICATION. IT CAN ABLE TO PLAY A VIDEO WITH IN; THE DESIGN PURPOSE OF EMBEDDING THE PLAYER IS VERY EASY IN THE VISUAL BASIC APPLICATION.

INTRODUCTION TO MS-ACCESS
THE PROJECT HAVE ONE OF THE BACK END IS MS ACCESS, THIS IS USED TO STORE THE ENGLISH WORDS IN THEIR DATABASE. FROM THAT WE ACCESS WHICH WORD WE NEED TO PRONOUNCE. WE ARE USING THE DATABASE CONNECTIVITY TO CONNECT THE DATABASE TO THE FRONT PAGE OF VISUAL BASIC. IT IS USED TO STORE LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA THAT CONNECTED TO THE FRONT END OF OUR PROJECT. IT IS VERY EASIER TO CONNECTIVITY PURPOSE. THE MAJOR BACK END CONNECTIVITY FOR VISUAL BASIC IS MS ACCESS BECAUSE OF THEIR EASY WAY OF ACCESSING THE REQUIRED DATA FROM THE DATABASE.

FEATURES ABOUT MS-ACCESS

WINDOW-BASED APPLICATIONS LARGE DATA MANAGEMENT CAPACITY IMPORTING, EXPORTING AND LINKING FILES BUILT IN FUNCTIONS MACROS CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP AND ANSWER WIZARD BUILT-IN SECURITY

MICROSOFT WINDOWS
WINDOWS XP IS THE PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL AND UBIQUITOUS OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE BY MICROSOFT CORPORATION. IT IS A MULTITASKING OPERATING SYSTEM WELL EQUIPPED WITH A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI). A TASK BAR, ALWAYS EASILY ACCESSIBLE ON SCREEN HAS BUTTONS LISTING THE CURRENTLY RUNNING APPLICATIONS, ALLOWING THE USER TO EASILY SWITCH BETWEEN THEM. WINDOWS XP IS SUPPORTED TO MAKE PERSONAL COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS EASIER TO LEARN AND EXPLOIT.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

SYSTEM STUDY
SYSTEM ANALYSIS INVOLVES THE INVESTIGATION OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM BY STUDYING THE VARIOUS OPERATIONS PERFORMED AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE SYSTEM. AN EXAMINATION OF A COMPANYS ACTIVITY WITH A VIEW TO IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEMS AREAS AND RECOMMENDING THE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS.

CONCLUSION
THE LESS PROCESSING TIME INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY QUICK ACCESS TO ALL THE INFORMATION VERY EFFICIENT RESULT LESS MANPOWER FAST AND EFFICIENT MANNER OF WORKING TIME AND COST SAVING

SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

DATABASE SECURITY CAN BE INCREASED ADDING ALL THE POLICIES TO THE SYSTEM MAKING THE CUSTOMER STATUS CHECKING THROUGH SMS BY MOBILE THIS SYSTEM IS ONLY DEVELOPED FOR LIFE INSURANCE SIDE. IN FUTURE IT MAY BE DEVELOPED INTO MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE, ETC.,
