</div>Text can be translated very easily, doesn't have to be done by the<br>
person doing the speaking. Once it's done, it's done - the translation<br>
is always available. But anything spoken/recorded in one language needs<br>
to be interpreted by someone else every time someone who doesn't speak<br>
the presenter's language. The only way around that is for multiple<br>
versions of the video,<br>

<br>
</div>Sounds can be demonstrated quite easily via the same web that we use to<br>
watch YouTube vids ... a simple link on a text page is sufficient for that.<br>

<br>
</div>Free or fee, the silly belief that learning is best done via video is<br>
something I complain about. And I used to do technology training for a<br>
living, so I know about the strengths/weaknesses of the various ways of<br>
delivering training.<br>
<br>
My only small request with Zyn would be he somehow find a way to fix its<br>
ability to just freeze up, quite responding, and turn into a zombie ...<br>
