Issues to report/request

1. Words already uploaded using LL does not get removed while creating a new list

Steps:

1. Included a word "ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ" in a new batch and selected "Remove words already recorded" while loading words from a local list
2. Even though the word already exists in two places (first, second -- both uploading using LL) on Commons, it does not appear as a duplicate on LL Record Wizard

Hi @Psubhashish could you please try to reproduce this issue with recordings that were not renamed? Just to be sure: the Record wizard can only remove words that the current speaker already recorded, for the moment it can't remove words recorded by other speakers (there is a ticket on phabricator asking for this feature). — WikiLucas (🖋️) 12:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

2. LL helps remove words recorded already. But there is no way to download that word. This would help a lot in creating a list locally.

Could you develop a little bit your idea please? You would like to export a textual file containing the words that you already recorded? Or you would like to download the sound files you uploaded? — WikiLucas (🖋️) 12:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

@WikiLucas00 ha ha you caught off guard! I was trying to make a rough list as I am discovering new things here first before fleshing out suggestions for improvement. By listing, I mean a text file containing the words recorded, not the audio file. I guess one can download audio files from Commons in bulk too. But that's another question and do share if there is a way that you might know. --Subhashish (talk) 09:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Psubhashish Using Petscan and your Lingua Libre category on Commons, you can export the text list of all your recorded files. Here is the query. You can change the output to plain text, wikicode, json etc if you want to (in the Output tab). I hope this fits to your needs. All the best — WikiLucas (🖋️) 15:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

3. While reviewing recorded audio it is not possible to see the change in the counter at the bottom. For instance, I am reviewing the recorded audio number 10 and the total number of recorded sounds is 300. I cannot see the exact number of a particular sound in the counter.

4. RecordWizard field "Spoken languages" is confusing.

Should one add all the languages/dialects they know or the one they are going to speak in the next step in a particular batch? If I am a speaker who is multilingual (which is the case for most people in South Asia), I'd prefer that the form asks me the specific dialect/language I am going to speak in a batch. I might speak six languages but they are not relevant for each word in a particular batch.

5. "Place of residence" is meaningless without the "place of language learning".

One might have learned a language in one place but might be living in another. The latter might or might not have impact on the language that they speak. However, where they learned the language is very important (in most cases).
