Shtooka Recorder is an audio recorder tool specialized for recording audio for Tatoeba. It runs on Windows. We have verified that it works on Windows XP and Windows 7. It is distributed in a kit (Kit Shtooka) that contains other tools, but only the Shtooka Recorder is of interest to us. Note that you can find the Shtooka Recorder within the "Kit Shtooka" folder on your Start Menu once you have installed it.

Installing and Configuring Shtooka Recorder

1) Download the Shtooka installer from the Tatoeba download site.

2) On the "Words" tab:

a) Select the ISO 639-3 code for your language (for example, "eng" for English). If you are unsure of the code, see the SIL ISO 639-3 finder.

b) Set "Silence between words" to 0.50.

4) On the "Speaker" tab, fill in your name or username and your native language. The other fields are optional.

5) On the "Output" tab:
