How to write speech on ''if i were president''?

We Answered:

Here's one approach, but it would totally depend upon the platform that you on running on. My idea is conservative. You could start you speech by asking, " what does the United States of America mean to you, what what does being a citizen mean you you"? Do you believe that a president and congress are temporary stewards of the Constitution, and their job is to uphold it, not re-write it to achieve their ideological gains.

You can take it from here.

can anyone tell me which language is best to write speech recognition and synthesis programs?

We Answered:

Since you must convert information quickly, I'd recommend C/C++.
Speech recognition is complicated and there are a whole bunch of algorithms out there. It would be better to start off with a text to speech program.

Text to speech (for English) is much easier than the other way around, but it can be quite tedious work.
First, you need to know how to use the sound output functions for your operating system - I'll assume that you're using Windows. You can program sound output with DirectX (DirectSound) or the WaveOut() instructions.
Since you'll need to adjust the pitch of the speech, DirectX would be a better choice.

Speech is broken down into phonemes.
Examples with vowels:
ay ee ai o yu

You would create a table of sounds (your speech) for these phonemes. Then you would create a table of single or multiple text letters which correspond to the entries in your sound table.

Example:
If you read the word, 'hoot' from a text file or string, then your text parser must first break down the word. The first letter is a consonant, followed by a vowel, so your program would find the sound for 'huh' and put it in a sound buffer. The second part of the word has two o's, so your program looks in the sound table for the 'oo' sound and copies it into the buffer after the 'huh' sound. Finally, there's the 't', so your program looks in the sound table for the 'tuh' sound and copies it into the sound buffer after the other two sounds, and then sends the whole buffer to the sound playing function. The key here is to have your text parser read the word correctly. The 't' could either have the 'tuh' sound or the 'tee' sound.
You have to program your text parser to know when to convert the 't' to the proper sound.

You also need to be able to have commands to create a very small pause in between sounds, and you need to create a command to allow for pitch change, as well as increases or decreases in the length of each sound.
Some words may not work with this technique, so you would compensate for that by having pre-defined playing instructions for those words.

Does any one know how to write a 6th grade Student Council Representative Speech?

We Answered:

Don't get into the habit of writing speeches, and then speaking from a script. You don't do that with people from day to day, yet you know what to say. It should be the same with your audience; otherwise, it will be aritificial and contrived. Throw away your writing and get up there and talk. You'll be learning the right way early, and will become different than mostly everyone else for your whole life.

Most people won't understand this, or will doubt it.

How to write Speech help?

We Answered:

__1. - Surviving the Social Scene in High School: your writing sample on teen advice could be a survival's guide to incoming freshmen regarding the social issues of high school. Advise your audience on why they should do the following: Be true to yourself. Try not to get caught up in the popularity contests, cat fights, bickering, etc. Don't get involved with drama-prone people, even if they are old friends. Expand your horizons and meet new people. Meeting new people sometimes can give you a wider perspective on life. Also, in high school your middle school friends may not always be in the same classes. Don't limit your social opportunities by remaining in the same close-knit circle of friends from middle school. Advise teens to step outside of that social comfort every once in a while.

__2. -Cyber-bullying: (cyberbullying is defined as "willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.") Cyber-bullying has grown as a means of threatening, intimidating or harassing others over the past several years. It can take many forms, including posting private or embarrassing photos of someone, developing websites to rate people’s appearance, creating hateful blogs about someone, stealing electronic passwords, or spreading lies. This controversial issue explores the arguments of censorship, the freedom of speech, the definition of 'willful harm/harassment' and about whose responsibility it is, either the parents, teens, internet police, etc., to protect young on-line users from cyberbullying.

__3. -The Pursuit of Perfection: This controversy is regarding the amount of pressure parents, schools, the media, and peers put on teens to be "perfect," successful, beautiful, etc. In addition to the potential for individual harm, there is an absolutely certain cultural harm related to the mass pursuit and glorification of physical perfection. In her 1992 bestseller, The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf describes a $33 billion "thinness industry", a $20 billion "youth industry", and a $300 million "cosmetic surgery industry" and admonishes the commercial forces propelling women towards never ending external improvements. The marketing of plastic surgery to a younger and younger clientele only intensifies a conspiracy that requires women to be evaluated by homogenized perceptions of beauty instead of more integrated and realistic virtues. Why would any of us want to live in a world that requires all of us —from 14-year-olds to 50-year-olds — to have Britney Spears' breasts, Reese Whiterspoon's nose and a 4-year-olds' crease free forehead?

__4. -School Burn-Out: This controversial issue is concerning the amount of school-related activities and requirements teens face now in high school & how that often leads to "school burn-out." Faced with an unlimited amount of choices combined with the pressure of a fast-paced-world, teens are spreading their selves too thin by engaging in a number of commitments. Besides physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, there are several more pressing consequences of school burn-out.

__5. -To Work or Not To Work: you could address the topic of high school employment and provide information on why it is either acceptable or not acceptable for teens to have jobs during their high school years. Research the benefits or the pros and cons of choosing academics over employment. Advise your audience to consider these pros and cons before deciding to find employment while they are in school. Give advice on how to properly balance a job and a student career.

---DAYDREAMING: Americans generally condemn daydreaming as a waste of time. Do you agree with this view, or do you see some benefits of daydreaming? Discuss this topic in detail.
---PETS: What are some of the reasons so many people have pets? Research this topic and discuss key points.
---THE EFFECTS OF TV: "Television has made America a nation of watchers, not doers." Agree or disagree. Explain your opinion with research points.
---LEADERSHIP: What are the essential characteristics of an effective leader? Discuss and research this topic.
---CHARACTER ADVANTAGES OF PLAYING SPORTS: Do you think that sports help develop good character?
---NICKNAMES: Whether we want them or not, many of us get tagged with one or more nicknames during our lives. Research the role of nicknames through a historical perspective and the positive and/or negative aspects of the practice of nicknaming.

How Do i Write Speech about an interview?

We Answered:

Well basically you are going to have to come up with a good intro (something to hook your audience and get them in the mood to hear what you have to say), then a body (literally tell them about your interview), and a conclusion (sum up everything you said and tie it back to your introduction). Your intro could tell what the actual interview was about. did you interview that person about his or her life? or did you interview them about a specific topic? find a way to explain to your audience what that was all about. then just act like you telling a story of how the interview went. then conclude by restating (briefly) what the interview was about and what you learned from it (or something along the lines of that). if you need help writing the speech, go to www.squidoo.com/how-to-give-a-good-speec… . hope this helps! good luck with your speech!

how do you properly write speech in a story?

We Answered:

It isn't a grammatical error at all. I would punctuate it differently though. Try, "He has to rest," said the man.

It looks fine to me other than that.
