 	 		Voice Match Version 1.0
	Educational Software for the Multimedia Windows Environment

Introduction:  Voice Match is a fun, easy way for an elementary school
	student or pre-schooler to practice Engish spelling. The student
	can record a list of words by himself and then practice 
	spelling according to what he has recorded. 

Features: Two level of practice:
		. level 1, multiple choice answers
		. level 2, enter word directly from keyboard.
          Recording capability: 
		. record any meaning full voice, in any language.

Requirements:  Any IBM-PC or compatible with a digitized sound board, a 
	microphone and Microsoft Windows. Since Voice Match was written 
	in Visual Basic Version 2, the Visual Basic runtime module, 
	VBRUN200.DLL, is also required.  Since this file is rather large 
	(over 300K), it is not included in this package but is available 
	for download from most BBSs.  You can also get it directly from 
	the author on a	diskette for a $2.00 shipping and handling charge. 
	Note that the registered version comes with the Visual Basic 
	runtime module. 

Packing List:	VOICMACH.EXE - the executable file
		MCI.VBX	     - Visual Basic DLL's used by Voice Match
		THREED.VBX   - .....
		CMDIALOG.VBX - .....
		MSMASKED.VBX - .....

Installation procedures:
	1. Create a new directory and name it C:\VOICEMCH (or something
	   else appropriate).  This can be done either at the DOS prompt
	   or through the Windows File Manager (see the appropriate 
	   user's manual for specific instructions of the commands).
	2. Copy the files to that directory. This can be done either at 
	   the DOS prompt or through the Windows File Manager. You could 
	   copy DLL's (*.VBX files) to the Windows system directory 
	   instead (see step 7).
	3. From the Program Manager of Windows, select the FILE, NEW menu
	   option.
	4. Select Program Group and click the OK button.
	5. For Description, enter Voice Match and click the OK button.
	6. For Command Line, enter the name of the directory that you
	   created in step 1 followed by \VOICEMCH.EXE and click the OK
	   button (e.g. c:\VOICEMCH\VOICEMCH.EXE)
	7. Ensure that you have a copy of VBRUN200.DLL in your Windows
	   system directory or in the directory created in step 1. 
	   (Microsoft advises putting it and all *.VBX files in your 
	   Windows system directory).

	please let me know.  At the time of release, there are no known
	bugs in the program.  However, just because I haven't found them
