Escritor is a set of five free software programs aimed towards education and training as a whole.
They were created by Jean-Yves Chasle.
They can be downloaded free of charge from this site (the complete source code - in Delphi 3 - included) from this site.

Escritor can be currently used in the following fields :

"remediation" or differenciated learning in teaching
distant education
personal cultivation

A multimedia PC (under Microsoft Windows 9x) comes with a graphic tablet and headphones makes up the "student post". Just add a microphone to it and it becomes the teacher's work place.

WithEscritor Creation release, the teacher can compose any type of exercise that he wants in a flash as if he was actually in a class with the help of the graphic tablet stylus. He can easily punctuate dictated sentences and illustrate everything with pictures, videos, music or sounds. The teacher alone decides what, from the dictation (textual or musical) to the research exercise, has to be done, the software never hinders a particular "shape" in terms or correction.

With Escritor Touch-up release, any page can be modified at any time by adding or deleting explanations, changing the colour or thickness of the writing, etc... Its possibilities are limitless.

The student will use Escritor Runtime release to work on his own in individual sessions along with the pages created by his teacher. The pencil trace is recorded in real time (as on a video tape recorder) by the software. Thanks to this, the teacher is able to watch afterwards, paying attention to even the slightest details of the student. He can speed up or slow down the process, print and annotate it himself. It avoids using the keyboard and mouse that the student doesn't "traditionally" have access to in the class.

Escritor is especially adaptated to rooms equiped with computer networks and page exchanges through the Internet. The interface was conceived and modified by teachers concerned with an intuitive approach, without any extended knowledge of computer functions. In short, if you know how to open a file, you already know how to use Escritor !

Under a "free licence" (General Public Licence), every module that makes up Escritor in its official version are free of charge and can be distributed and modified by any user. Escritor and its source code (in Delphi 3) can be downloaded free of charge from this official site. Escritor comes with NO WARRANTY as stipulated by the GPL. The reader, if interested, should refer to the full text of the GPL for more information.
