SPEAKN: Demonstrates Graphics Output, Sound Output, and Handwriting Recognition

SPEAKN is a simple application for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) that brings together graphics output, sound output, and handwriting recognition, thus highlighting the multimedia and pen extensions made to Windows version 3.1.

SPEAKN runs only under Windows version 3.1. It requires Windows for Pen Computing (the pen simulator provided in the Windows version 3.1 SDK is sufficient) and a sound card for sound prompts.

The SPEAKN source code illustrates the following concepts:

Single dialog application

Using bitmap buttons

Sound output

Pen input (BEdit)

Resizing a BEdit

Storing multimedia data (sounds, bitmaps) in resources

For information on how Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) supports Windows for Pen Computing, see "MFC TN015--Windows for Pen Interface to MFC."

SPEAKN requires special MFC libraries and include files; see the "MFC Libraries" and "MFC Include Files" abstracts to copy these files to your development system. SPEAKN uses the following libraries: MLIBCEW.LIB (C Windows runtime library), LIBW.LIB (Windows library), MMSYSTEM.LIB (multimedia extensions to Windows), and either MAFXCW.LIB (MFC medium-model Windows retail library) or MAFXCWD.LIB (MFC medium-model Windows debug library).

To build this application, you must have Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 installed on your system.
