Two hundred day care centers, scheduled to take part in the program, will receive tablet PCs with specially developed language-learning software based on Cornelsen's educational software and ScanSoft's RealSpeak. Words written on the tablet PC are "heard" via text-to-speech software functions.
The Microsoft-sponsored project is supported by UNICEF, German politicians, the Cornelesen Publishing House, HP, ScanSoft, and other hardware and software vendors.
