Whats new in 2.0:

NOTE: There are currently problems with the audio on the Linux version. Therefore, the Linux release will not be updated until this problem has been solved. The developer releases will continue to be updated (see below). For further questions, please email the maintainer. The email address of the maintainer can be found in the About page which is available in the Settings page.
The XP version has been discontinued and will not be updated. If you really need the adaptations of this version, please contact the maintainer (see previous paragraph).

Version 2 of SpeakGoodChinese is based on the integrated Demo window of Praat. This means SpeakGoodChinese2 is completely integrated in Praat which should make it more stable and running on more platforms. This change does not affect the tone recognizer, only the User Interface.

Developer releases of version 2

Developer releases are the most up-to-date versions of SpeakGoodChinese and will be generated irregularly and not tested. Note that developer releases might be more unstable or lead to more security problems. There are known problems with sound recording under Linux. See here for a solution.
