StressTeacher

StressTeacher is a lightweight and efficient software solution created to provide your with the right means of learning the correct pronunciation of English words in a text, by placing an accent on the stressed letters.

Subsequent to the download process, you can just double click the executable and run the application, as its installation is not a necessity.

Thanks to this feature, you can easily carry StressTeacher with you on a USB stick or other storage devices, using it on all compatible systems, be it at home, at work or during class.

Moreover, because it does not go through an installation, the utility does not generate additional registry entries, which means that removing it through simple deletion will not leave any traces behind.

The main window of StressTeacher is fairly basic and unimpressive, featuring two panels corresponding to the 'Source Text' and 'Stressed Result', enabling you to input your text either manually or paste it from clipboard; it does not support importing documents containing the targeted words.

After pressing the 'Stress Text' button, the program will display within a few moments the accentuated equivalent of each word, allowing you to copy the result to clipboard and paste it in another file or window.

It also features a few basic editing functions, namely 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste' and 'Delete'. In the right lower corner of StressTeacher, you can adjust the size of the font, increasing or decreasing it by means of the left and right arrow buttons.

The utility is visibly still in the developing stage, as it sometimes faces some responsiveness issues; nonetheless, StressTeacher proves quite handy and intuitive both for learners and educators, as it offers you the ability to determine how to accentuate certain words when pronouncing them.
