time no see :)<br>
<br>
No, I didn't do a goodle search......to be honest I am tired of doing research
for other people. This guy has a computer with internet, I can't see why
he can't open a web browser and do a search.<br>
<br>
I had a look at these different programs.....all seem to far above his
ability. I know I could upload all the media files to Moodle......but you
know what.....that just means i will be doing this guys job for him.<br>
<br>
I might just tell him that there is nothing that will do what he wants.<br>
<br>
Sorry if I sound grumpy but some people really like to abuse the people with IT
skills......i'm sure others have had similar experiences.<br>

font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Hi....I guy at work asked me about testing
software to use in TOEFL. <br>
<br>
The things he needs are <br>
1. The ability to test writing<br>
2. The ability to record the student's voice for pronunciation<br>
3. The ability for him to record his own voice so that the student can
hear it and answer appropriately (written or verbal).<br>
<br>
Does onyone know of any software that can do this easily. He has a basic
understanding for computers so the easier the better. I have a moodle
server set up and told him he could use that but it does not have the
microphone recording functionality that is easily accessible to his
students. Free would be ideal but commercial is ok too (he said he has
some money in the account).<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
