Download the ISLE Demonstrator

The ISLE Consortium has created two downloadable demo versions of the ISLE software. This download is free and may be freely passed on to others. It may not, however, be sold or used for any commercial purpose, nor are you allowed to make any attempt to disassemble or reverse-engineer the workings of this software. Please contact ISLE if you have any questions about this policy.

This demonstration package shows the basic features of the ISLE software: recognition of accented learner speech, localization of potential areas, and diagnosis of those errors at a very specific level. Although the methods used in the ISLE demonstrator are theoretically applicable to any language pairs, only German and Italian learners of English are targeted by this software.

In order to use the ISLE demonstrator, you will need a PC running Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT. The machine should be at bare minimum a Pentium 100 with 64 MB of RAM and 50 MB free space on your hard disk. You will need a sound card and a microphone and headphones/speakers. For best performance you should use a high-quality close-talking headset microphone.

Two downloads are available. The "full" download has two "dialogs" (about one hour's worth of course material, in general.) The smaller ("mini") download has only one dialog, but is significantly smaller, which may be an advantage for those with slow connections.
