You can visit this page if you want to learn more about the project.
You can create your User page by clicking on it. We recommend that you integrate the babel template onto it. It is very useful to indicate to others the languages you speak, and to facilitate finding other persons speaking your languages. If you are not familiar with wikicode, you can go to this demo User page, read the instructions and copy the prepared babel template, and then paste it onto your user page before adapting it to your information. You can then publish your User page!
- Follow the steps of the Record Wizard
- Think of the words you want to record. You may enter them one by one (live list), use an existing category from a Wiktionary or Wikipedia project, or create your own list.
You can visit this help page where you will find advice for beginning your contributions on Lingua Libre. If you did not find the answer to your question, please ask it in the Chat room.
- Try to avoid background noises during the recording
- Please listen to the pronunciations before uploading them
- Consider using an external microphone
Audio "clicks" issue
Hello again @Ssgapu22 and thank you very much for your contribution, your current sprint is impressive!
I'd like to warn you about a problem we identified a fews years ago and on which Wikimédia France is still working. Some audio files contain a kind of "click" sound (that's how we described it here and on Phabricator, but not to be confused with an actual sound of mouse-click), which looks like an intensity drop in the spectrogram of the audio file.
I have spotted that some of your recordings unfortunately contain such bugs, it's a pity because it means they will be less good for listeners and linguists... See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles&offset=20230712023955%7CLL-Q33810_%28ori%29-Sangram_Keshari_Senapati_%28Ssgapu22%29-%E0%AC%AD%E0%AC%A1%E0%AD%8D.wav&limit=500&user=Ssgapu22&ilshowall=1 for example, approximately 1/3 files contain it.
May I ask you what browser you use, and how many elements do you usually load into the Record Wizard? We think it could be related to the browser's RAM consumption.
Very sorry for the inconvenience. Please listen to your files when uploading them in case you can spot it too, and please consider testing on another browser (e.g. Firefox) or loading less elements per session into the RW, in case you can see an improvement. As a speaker myself, I switched to Firefox for my recording session since it seems to better handle it. I know it is very frustrating once you notice that half a session is contaminated by the problem, but please don't loose heart! 🙏

- Thank you WikiLucas, I was not aware about this. I just checked a few audios and found that. I am using Google Chrome, now I have checked on Firefox, and it's better now. - Sangram Keshari Senapati (talk) 14:35, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
