Libra Interactive Learning launches SpeakToday

Designed to speak English in the most interactive way, ensuring the learner acquires a neutral accent, Libra's SpeakToday comes with a special animated trainer teaching not just to communicate in English, but also grammar with pronunciation corrections. This training is imparted with the help of a chosen regional language like Kannada, Tamil, Hindi, etc. The company has tied up with several training institutes in Bangalore for imparting training in English through SpeakToday.

Speaking about how English has become an uncompromising requirement today, Sunjay Aryan, Managing Director, Libra Interactive Learning, said, "The current year 2010 is expected to create two million jobs in the organized retail sector while BPOs may absorb 23 lakh employees. However, both these sectors require proficiency in English, something that is currently absent amongst many high school as well as undergraduate youth."

Speaking on the occasion, Laxminarasappa, Managing Director, Winners academy, one of the franchisees of SpeakToday, said, "SpeakToday's user-friendly graphic interface makes it an easy tool to operate even for those not conversant with using a computer. The friendly animated character, speaking initially in the chosen regional language, encourages the learner to have a conversation in English. We are getting a lot of admissions everyday for English learning at all our centres."

SpeakToday incorporates a very interesting feature for the first time in any interactive language learning software in the world - the VIRO-METER. The in-built VIRO Meter gives an instant feedback to the user in terms of percentage regarding accuracy of pronunciation. User can change the required percentage for achieving better accent in their spoken words.

After the launch in Bangalore, the company plans to launch the Kannada version in Tier-II cities like Mysore, Mangalore and Hubli, owing to the huge need for a product like this in smaller towns.
