Online Intonation is a set of web pages I wrote in 2001-02. I have been aware for some time that it no longer worked well in some modern browsers and have been studiously avoiding doing anything about this sad situation. Then, yesterday, I received wonderful news from my colleague, Mark Huckvale. He had hacked my stuff and made it work in Chrome and Firefox. Many thanks and much respect to him!
You can find it here. I have checked that it works well in MSIE, Safari, Avant, Seamonkey. I can’t get the sound to work in Opera, though, and that’s a mystery.
John,
you should add it to your links list.
Petr,

splendɪd
I’ve added it to my favourite links list as well.

This is simply the best thing I’ve ever seen for teaching basic English intonations. Congratulations!
Jack,
Thank you for your endorsement. I suppose if I can bestir myself I could add a few more pages. We’ll see.

Shigehiko,
You are very welcome. Glad you find it useful.
I’m really glad to hear this news! I will tell my students this afternoon. I hope you are well, John!
Young Shin,
Good to hear from you. I’m fine. Hope all goes well with you.

Dziękuję bardzo.
I am afraid some of the Sound Machines programs have been lost, but I hope to be able to make one or two of them available here sometime soon.
I’ll see what I can do about making offline versions available.
