11 | * Record two or three audio files and send them to team@tatoeba.org so we can check the audio quality. | |
12 | * In the email message, tell us your username | |
13 | * One of us will write back to you. | |
14 | * The best way to record for us is to use the Shtooka Recorder (See [bit.ly/shtooka](https://bit.ly/shtooka).) | |
15 | * If you do not read English well, you do not need to carefully read the rest of this page. | |

11 | 21 | ### Requirements |
12 | 22 | |
13 | 23 | * You must have a good microphone because sound quality is important. |
14 | 24 | * You should only record audio in your strongest (native) language. |
15 | 25 | |
16 | 26 | ### Send us samples |
17 | 27 | |
18 | 28 | 1. 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. |
19 | 29 | 2. Use the following subject for your email: **Audio for Tatoeba in [language_name]**. |
20 | 30 | 3. We will contact you back as soon as possible to let you know if you can continue recording. |
21 | 31 | 4. If your audio is good enough, we will send you a list of sentences to record. |
22 | 32 | |
23 | 33 | ### Check the sentences you are recording |
24 | 34 | |
25 | 35 | * In the list that we sent you, verify that the sentences sound natural to you and do not have any mistake. |
26 | 36 | * 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. |
27 | 37 | * We would appreciate that you also post a comment on the sentence on Tatoeba so that the sentence can be corrected. |
28 | 38 | * 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. |
29 | 39 | |
30 | 40 | ### Record audio |
31 | 41 | |
32 | 42 | * 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. |
33 | 43 | * 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). |
34 | 44 | * If you are a Linux user, you can use [swac-recorder](swac-recorder), but we do not have detailed instructions for it. |
35 | 45 | * Save your files preferably as **MP3**. You can use another format if you wish, but we will eventually convert them to MP3. |
36 | 46 | * 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`. |
37 | 47 | |
38 | 48 | ### Upload audio |
39 | 49 | |
40 | 50 | * 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). |
41 | 51 | * Send us the link to download your audio. We will then upload them to the website as soon as possible. |
42 | 52 | |
43 | 53 | ## Need help? |
44 | 54 | |
45 | 55 | If you need additional help, please contact [CK via a private message](http://tatoeba.org/eng/private_messages/write/CK), and he will try to help you. |
