SANS Inc.

SANS Inc., Software and Network Solutions, is a leading provider of instructional technology for spoken and visual languages. We are the developer and exclusive licensor of Sony Language Learning Software, a digital language lab suite that includes Virtuoso™ instructor control interface and Soloist® digital comparative recorder and media player.

Technology for any Language Program

Our instructional technology is not “language specific”, meaning that it can be used as an instructional tool for most spoken and visual languages. Hosts of schools and government agencies with World Language programs, ESL programs, American Sign Language and Interpreter Training programs, and even Music programs are incorporating our software into their curriculum.

This scalable technology focuses on interactivity between the instructor and students with options specifically for AP® and other oral testing, multi-teacher and distance learning applications, and American Sign Language and interpreter training programs. While providing instructional control, the software enables more interpersonal communication (audio and video) so that students have increased opportunities to use the language to develop core skills.

SANS Live Language Lab Application

LIVE is a browser-based language lab application that is available on-demand for language teaching in-person, online, and in hybrid models. Ideal for any language, and at any level.

An application designed to seamlessly integrate into 1:1 programs giving students more opportunity to develop target language commucation skills to build proficiency.
