en12-021 If the language pack has been properly installed, it will show the option.
en12-022 Those packs can be downloaded and installed.
en12-023 This option is not available in every version.
en12-024 You have to install the language pack for that language.
en12-025 There was no registration process.
en12-026 This is an advanced topic.
en12-027 This leads to a sentence like this.
en12-028 This is moving the new subject to the front.
en12-029 This occurs at the beginning of the phrase.
en12-030 She wants him to do something.

en12-032 She is going to tell you what happened.
en12-033 The point can be set up as an equation.

en12-049 We will make available all acoustic models.
en12-050 Maybe it is possible to compare those systems.
en12-051 It will be available for several days.

en12-057 They were very thin and in great distress.
en12-058 He is trying to receive new features.

en12-060 Your file has been scanned and found to be clean.
en12-061 Water is used in freshwater aquariums.
en12-062 Water is also used extensively in the industry.
en12-063 It prevents the build up of bacteria.
en12-064 It can be used in PC water cooling systems.
en12-065 The system administrator installs the program.
en12-066 The user does not have any administrator privileges.
en12-067 This feature only works for removable storage devices.
en12-068 The second option has several advantages.
en12-069 They are described in the following sections.
en12-070 It may be possible to tell that the program was run.
en12-071 There are two things to keep in mind.
en12-072 It does not have to be installed on the operating system.
en12-073 They prefer audio submissions without any noise reduction.
en12-074 The waveform is not correctly centered.
en12-075 You can see the effect when you are recording audio.
en12-076 What is it and how can I remove it?
en12-077 What is your opinion about that?
en12-078 They are trying to have a different opinion.
en12-079 This is a new information for every one of us.
en12-080 I am trying to get this information.

en12-091 They will do anything to bring justice to the streets.
en12-092 The series is about an experimental division.
en12-093 This season was supposed to be the last.
en12-094 This is a different waveform.
en12-095 That was his best subject.
en12-096 The subject was observed leaving the scene.
en12-097 All final entries will be approved by the editor of the dictionary.
en12-098 You can correct words in the dictionary.
en12-099 He has suggestions and comments on the content of the dictionary.
en12-100 They do not guarantee the suitability for any specific purpose.
en12-101 They do not guarantee the accuracy of the dictionary.
en12-102 They have verified the transcriptions.
en12-103 The transcription is based on only one source.
en12-104 Several sources were preprocessed.
en12-105 They will consider them for an upcoming version.
en12-106 Those words are not currently included in the dictionary.
en12-107 They generated this dictionary using several independent sources.
en12-108 The phone set contains thirty nine phones.
en12-109 They use these dictionaries in their systems.
en12-110 It is not recognized as an internal or external command.
en12-111 Take the time to submit some speech to the project.
en12-112 They need much more transcribed speech audio.
en12-113 This is the fault of the speech recognition engine.
en12-114 The quality of speech recognition is fair.
en12-115 For information on the grammar syntax, see the enclosed notes.
en12-116 Change the directory to the folder where you extract the file.
en12-117 Simply extract the file to a directory.
en12-118 The file contains everything you need to get the program working.
en12-119 The program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful.
en12-120 It contains much data but not much information.
en12-121 This can be used in the area of image processing.
en12-122 This program is free software.  
en12-123 You can redistribute it.
en12-124 They can draw a picture of it.
en12-125 They can find a solution.
en12-126 There is no way of extending it further.
en12-127 This is the domain of that solution.
en12-128 There is another solution.
en12-129 A typical solution looks like this.
en12-130 They should solve this by separating variables.
en12-131 In other words, don't write it like this.
en12-132 The slope elements look like this.
en12-133 This is a line through the origin.
en12-134 He wants to put that up in orange.
en12-135 This is for the purpose of this lecture.
en12-136 We are not going to call it that.
en12-137 The computer doesn't mind, but the human does.
en12-138 You have to draw the direction field for yourself.
en12-139 This is the same as that.
en12-140 This is how he calculated the direction field.
en12-141 It looks better if you don't.
en12-142 How does he plug it into the differential equation?
en12-143 He is trying to translate what this really means.
en12-144 I don't have enough room to write that on the board.
en12-145 This is a solution to the differential equation.
en12-146 I am geometrically drawing an integral curve.
en12-147 This is the direction of the field.
en12-148 It has exactly the right slope.
en12-149 So this is the integral curve.
en12-150 I didn't have any differential equation in mind.
en12-151 What is a slope?
en12-152 You fill up the plane with these things.
en12-153 You draw a little line element.
en12-154 This is what you are learning in high school.
en12-155 This is something called a direction field.
en12-156 The differential equation has many solutions.
en12-157 You can't figure out what you are talking about.
en12-158 You look at certain functions.
en12-159 Those equations are the rules.
en12-160 This is the most significant fact.
en12-161 There are no elementary functions.
en12-162 This one is easily solvable.
en12-163 That is pretty simple.
en12-164 We can't always do this very well.
en12-165 We will isolate the derivative.
en12-166 I think that they know that.
en12-167 The book has a very good explanation of that.
en12-168 Different physical systems may have similar mathematical descriptions.
en12-169 However, that is not always the case.
en12-170 This does not completely describe the behavior of the system.
en12-171 Acoustic signals are speech or audio signals.
en12-172 Electrical signals are voltages and currents in a circuit.
en12-173 Signals are functions of independent variables.
en12-174 This has been included in the study of logic.
en12-175 This is not a mathematical solution.
en12-176 They have to write it in the standard form.
en12-177 The theorem has no exceptions.
en12-178 It is not existence that fails.
en12-179 There is no solution to this differential equation.
en12-180 They don't have any slope.
en12-181 They are not allowed to cross.
en12-182 It is impossible to cross the line.
en12-183 It does what it has to do.
en12-184 This is what you should know.
en12-185 He will not be able to check the answer.
en12-186 This is a more complicated example.
en12-187 The object is implied but not stated.
en12-188 It is not limited by exceptions or restrictions.
en12-189 He is just using the absolute value.
en12-190 He is trying to get information about the solution.
en12-191 He wanted to show you the main purpose.
en12-192 It is impossible to make any prediction at all.
en12-193 How do they calculate the second derivative?
en12-194 They wouldn't need this anyway.
en12-195 There is just one little problem left.
en12-196 He can learn those words.
en12-197 Let's say here was the starting point.
en12-198 That is not an option.
en12-199 How can he answer such a question?
en12-200 He didn't tell you where to stop.
en12-201 That will be good enough.
en12-202 He has to calculate the new slope.
en12-203 He has to multiply this by this number.
en12-204 They are starting to do this.
en12-205 Otherwise you will forget it.
en12-206 They have to see where the mistakes are.
en12-207 They have to find the mistakes.
en12-208 It is extremely important to be systematic.
en12-209 How do the solutions behave?
en12-210 This is a nontrivial equation.
en12-211 This is his initial value problem.
en12-212 He will use a simple example.
en12-213 This is what he can tell you.
en12-214 That is the trivial part of it.
en12-215 How far do we have to go?
en12-216 This side of the triangle has a different length.
en12-217 This is the old point.
en12-218 It is the value of the right-hand side.
en12-219 How does he take the next step?
en12-220 He is going to draw a picture.
en12-221 This is what you prefer to see.
en12-222 The computer is simply calculating this point.
en12-223 The next step of the process will carry you to that place.
en12-224 You can continue with that solution.
en12-225 What information do we have?
en12-226 This is the method we are going to talk about.
en12-227 This is the initial condition.
en12-228 This is our first order problem.
en12-229 The computer is calculating the solutions.
en12-230 I think that is a good idea.
