Recording
[edit]- Find a word without and audio file, let's use rhonchus. Make sure you have Audacity and a microphone ready to use.
- 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.
