Hi,

For a small website for a school they asked me to create an online test.
This consists of: playing a wav file and the students have to enter the text using the keybord (kind of oral dictation test).

In my database I have the correct text:
e.g.: Charles, who is a man, is already old!

Now, after a pupil has entered the text, I need to validate the entered text and show on the screen the errors they might have made.

How do I do this? Keeping in mind that it's not just eliminating all the white spaces but also keep in mind:

1. Special caracters like: ',!?".: .... are checked as well (wav file includes: enter question mark).

2. I need to highlite every word that is wrong.

3. I need to check for words that are 'forgotten' (when they forgot a word in the sentence.

4. Count all the errors.

I know it's a lot! :)
Any help more than welcome and thanks people!
Bram
