Hi Peter,

I will try to answer all your questions.

The next version of "SpokenThai" is due to next month.

The two major changes are:

1. Over 10,000 audio files in about 80 categories (most of the audio files are sentences).

2. We added as option the ability to use Text-To-Speech engine (if installed) to hear the English before the Thai (the Thai audio are human female voice).

The total download files of next version will be app. 300 MB.

We usually give a second free code for use on laptop, by request.

We do not give a third code for free due to any reason.

All the other stuff on the CD is free. The travel guide was written during many years of traveling so some of the information is old (up to 10 years) but I guess most places are still there. The guides are mostly about attractions. The photoalbums are compiled to exe from JPG files.

Please notice that the CD of current version will not be compatible with new version (the free stuff will be the same). You can wait for next version or register now without the CD and order the CD when next version will be released.

I can't promise nothing about the price of next version.

The official price is $60 ($70 with CD) but now we have a special price of $35 ($45 with CD).

Thank you

Granot

hiya spoken thai

you state that upgrades are free and available approx. twice yearly.

i wish to confirm that i will be able upgrade to the latest version at no extra cost (i.e. upgrading dictionary/lessons/and audio files)forever,on this computer

if this is the case you have a very sellable product

good advice so far but can you take a bit more.

I realise you are a relative newcomer to Forums, so a can I give you some advice?

When you post in Capitals thats the equivilent of shouting.

good luck here

i agree good advice so far (in lower case)

have presently got some workers in clearing rubble ajacent to my land and choppin down all kinds of greenary(shame because i like the green--but needs must)

breeding season aye .................intresting.

Help,i visited my girlfriends house and befor we went there she said that we had to go to the market and buy a few things one of which was a PIGS HEAD which i said ok took the items to the family house and handed them over but i never did see the pigs head again.back in the UK i mentioned this to some mates and they informed me that this was some kind of ritual!!Are they on a wind up as i have tried to find out details on the web but nothing.

Sensible answers only please

your lucky.just one head.

when i first arrived in issan with the future misses,i had to purchase ten (TEN) heads complete with trotters and off we wen't to the local spirit house with the local "mor doo" (fortune teller/bringer of good fortune)

i was less convinced by the "powers"of this person

still thai's are a superstisious lot

i recon no harm done and it "popped a few credits in" for myself.

up here in isan a truck comes round each month collecting unwanted dogs for humanly consumption.

they give one small black bucket for each unwanted specimen.

send them up north that's my advice.

any resentment caused could be easily appease with a timely plastic gift.

OK I will probably catch a lot of heat for writing this but I feel a neccesary rant coming on !

I live in a deep soi in BKK and have come to the conclusion that dogs actually rule most aspects of my life IE : when I can sleep, when I have to wake, having to turn the television volume up to rediculous levels just to hear it, having to carry a large stick AND use it every time I leave my house after dark to go to the shop etc etc.

I didn't fuss so much in the past putting it down to one of the downsides of living here but now I cannot ignore this problem but alas am powerless to change it

Last night couldn't sleep because of packs of wild animals tearing each other apart and howling like wolves. Barely got any sleep and woke up at 5am unable to go back to sleep. When I went out onto the balcony half the neighborhood (all Thai) were on their balcony. It was surreal and we talked together about our shared hatred of these damned creatures. Many of my neighbours walk about with umbrellas or brooms/sticks and so on to make a 10 second journey to the shop! I myself have been bitten by an animal that barely resembled a dog as we know it and had to endure 11 injections at the hospital and thousands of baht out of pocket.

A planned meal to an Italian restraunt yesterday with my GF was ruined because of dogs. I cleaned the porch and swept like normal and went to check my email. In that time unbeknowst to me two dogs came in crapped everywhere(I left the gate unlocked) and one put period blood all over the ground This was the view that confronted my GF after coming home from a hard days work and an argument ensued as she thought I was too lazy to clean it all up !!!!! Again another example of dog's controlling my life.

Today I am sitting here with a swollen ankle as a dog pounced on me while I was trying to stop it from entering the porch and bending over to close the gate. As I write this post the poodle across the street hasn't stoppped barking a high pitched squeal that is grating on my nerves AAAAARRRRGHHHHH !!!

I see only 3 options : prescription tranquilizers from my doc / move to another country or A HUMANE CULL OF THESE CREATURES

Please share your pain with me
