• Open Audacity and say the word 1-3 times naturally.
• Listen to the audio and select the best version.
• Highlight and delete the remaining audio.
• Select "File" > "Export as Ogg Vorbis."
• Save the file as "En-country-<word>.ogg" For the country as the two letter code such as us, uk, ca, etc. In the case of rhonchus, En-us-rhonchus.ogg. Make sure you follow the capitalization of the example for the sake of the Word of the Day template.
