Before You Start
- To add an audio file to a field such as Word, the field needs to have an Audio Input System assigned to it.
- If your project doesn’t have the needed Audio Input System add it first.
- At this time, audio in the Pronunciation field does not sync with FLEx. (Although we hope to make this work in a future version)
Add an Audio Input System
-
In your project, click Settings ( icon) and select Configuration.
-
Click Input Systems tab.
-
If the language already exists select it, then click More and select Add Voice.
-
If the language doesn’t exist, add the language (click New), then in Special select Voice.
-
Change the Display Abbreviation to identify it in the Dictionary Editor.
-
Click Apply. You can can do this later if you are making more changes.
Assign the Audio Input System to a Field
-
As of Language Forge v 1.3.10 there is a bug where a new Input System doesn’t show up in the Fields tab. To work around this simply click Apply then refresh the browser tab (F5 or Ctrl + R).
-
Click Fields tab.
-
Select the field such as Word to assign the Audio Input System to, then in the right pane under Input Systems check the Audio Input System.
-
Repeat step 3 for any other fields as needed.
-
Click Apply.
-
Click back to the Dictionary Editor.
Adding Audio
- In the Dictionary Editor, select an entry from the word list.
- In the right pane there are now Audio Input Systems for each field assigned in the section above.
- Click to upload an audio file.
