1010
1111### Requirements
1212
1313* You must have a good microphone because sound quality is important.
1414* You should only record audio in your strongest (native) language.
1515* You agree that your audio may reused in other projects than Tatoeba.
1616
1717### Send us samples
1818
19191. Pick a few random sentences (just two or three), record them, and send us the samples at **team@tatoeba.org**. This way we can evaluate whether the sound quality is good enough.
20202. Use the following subject for your email: **Audio for Tatoeba in [language_name]**.
21213. We will contact you back as soon as possible to let you know if you can continue recording.
22224. If your audio is good enough, we will send you a list of sentences to record.
2323
2424### Check the sentences you are recording
2525
2626* In the list that we sent you, verify that the sentences sound natural to you and do not have any mistake.
2727* If a sentence doesn't sound natural or has a mistake, remove it from the list. Do **NOT** record audio for a sentence that has a mistake.
2828* We would appreciate that you also post a comment on the sentence on Tatoeba so that the sentence can be corrected.
2929* Also, if there are any sentences that you do not feel comfortable recording (because they are too vulgar for instance), simply remove them from the list.
3030
3131### Record audio
3232
3333* If you are a Windows user, we recommend that you use **Shtooka Recorder**. It will allow you to get things done more quickly. You can read [CK's Shtooka Recorder page](http://a4esl.com/temporary/tatoeba/shtooka/) for more instructions.
34* If you can't use the Shtooka Recorder, see [CK's page explaining how you can use Audacity](http://www.manythings.org/tatoeba/audacity.html).
3435* If you are a Linux user, you can use [swac-recorder](swac-recorder), but we do not have detailed instructions for it.
3536* Save your files preferably as **MP3**. You can use another format if you wish, but we will eventually convert them to MP3.
3637* Your audio must be named after the sentence number. For example if you record the audio for the sentence #123, you would name your file `123.mp3`.
3738
3839### Upload audio
3940
4041* Tatoeba doesn't provide a way for audio contributors to upload directly their audio to the website. You will have to upload your audio somewhere else (for instance Dropbox, or Google Drive).
4142* Send us the link to download your audio. We will then upload them to the website as soon as possible.
