Ishmael comes in a simplified version, in which most menu commands have been removed and the dialog boxes simplified. It is configured by default to display your voice via whatever device is available for real-time sound input; most laptops have built-in microphones that work fine. You can also record and/or display sound files too.
This version of Ishmael was made for a high-school outreach project here, so it's pretty simple. If you want a copy of it, please let me know.
