Paŝo 6: krei parolanton

You can record your own voice or record someone else. But for every one (yourself or someone else), you need to create a speaker the first time you record him/her.

On the top of the "speaker" page, you have a drop-down menu with the name of the actual selected speaker. It allows you to change the speaker and create new speakers.

When you create a new speaker, you must enter :

• His/her name (you don't have to put the whole name, but you can't have two speaker with the same name)
• His/her gender
• The languages he/she spokes : click on the field "Spoken languages", start to pick the language name and click on the right one among the propositions. In the window that opens, indicate the the language level and the place of learning (city, department, region...).
