Implementation

To reproduce voices, a technique of the Real Player[*] which is also free software was selected because it adapts to Windows and Linux. Old JSP files were improved to link to Real Player with new HTML, JAVA, and Javascript sources. Words requested by clients are read in the Hyper Dictionary, and new JSP files interpret strings of these words as names of voice files. Then, these voice files are reproduced. It is not only a method in which voice reproductions will start automatically when clients click voice icons on web pages of the Hyper Dictionary, but another method in which voices are reproduced by clients with software on client's computers after downloading voice MP3 files. However, in either event, clients need to obtain the Real Player software to listen to voices. Therefore a link to Real.com and a leading to download it were located on the top page of the Hyper Dictionary.[14][15][16][17]
