Introduction
The DBS Speech Card’s purpose is to pronounce En-
glish words. It is designed for people who are speaking
English for the first time, people who speak English as
a second language, and people who want to hear cor-
rect pronunciation of English words and phrases.
The three main functions you will perform with the
Speech Card are the following...
• pronunciation of more than 48,000 different words
and word forms;
• pronunciation of word phrases and whole sen-
tences;
• pronunciation of words imported from other digital
books.
This Speech Card can be used with the Oxford
Student’s Bilingual Dictionary series; as well as most
other Franklin digital books.
✓Using the Audio System
Make sure that your Digital Book System has audio
capabilities, like the DBS-2 and the DBS-2D, that
either have speakers or have an earphone jack. If
earphones are necessary, make sure that you plug
them into the jack before using this digital book.
