Hi Ian
Okay, so this means that there is generally only audio for the head word available in the App?
Here’s the .lift on that entry:

I’ve added an audio to the head word but that also doesn’t show in the app.
I have been tinkering around and found out, that DAB finally showed me the audio for the head word. But only if I record it in FLEx. Although the .lift entries look identical to me (see below), it only works when I record in FLEx. The only difference is, that FLEx records a .wav file whereas language forge records a .mp3.
But even when I manually changed the language forge recording to a .wav and renamed it as .wav in the .lift file it wouldn’t show up in the App.
I would of course love it to work when I record form language forge too, as I hope to have language helpers recording.
Recordings for gloss or definitions don’t show up in the app, but DAB does not support this in general I learned.
Have tried. But the audio (wether I record it in FLEx under “Definition” nor if I record it under “Reversal Entries”) isn’t even showing up in the “AudioVisual” folder created when exporting the XHTML.
PLUS: part of the audio recorded in languageforge didn’t show up in FLEx when I synced it (only audio of the head word and the audio of the example of my gloss language French made it into FELx) . I had to record it in FLEx. (But my goal would be to have language helpers do the recording in languageforge)
And as I mentioned above: even though the audio of the head word was synced from languageforge into FLEx, it doesn’t show up in the App.
No. The source of the problem has been established in this thread but no steps to its solution have been taken, as far as I can tell. It makes it more or less impossible right now to use audio, which is a shame
Seems to be a little tricky, this question. I played around these days, with a large Cheyenne dictionary file that was provided to me, in the SFM format of Lexique Pro (or Toolbox). The backslash code was \sf for headword audio, and \sfx for glosses or example phrases. Curiously, the audio didn’t work at all in the Notebook that I tried initially, but at home on my Desktop (same version of Win 10) it worked perfectly in Lexique Pro, and also taking it via Liftfile to DAB, was no issue. I still can’t figure out why this would be so, but it might be worth, taking it from one computer to another.
