Read Prompts and Submit Recordings

Javascript VoxForge speech recorder

The VoxForge speech recorder is a Progressive Web App, hosted on Github, that has the ability to record your audio submissions from a browser (or offline as an app) and upload to our server.



Old Java applet:

Before you Begin Recording Prompts

Turn off any other audio programs on your PC (i.e. music players, audio editors, etc.)

Position your mike so it does not pick up your breathing. While recording, try to minimize any non-speech noises (i.e. exhaling, taking a breath, lip smacking, ...) or background noise.

The black box near the bottom of your screen will display the audio waveform of your recording. Please record a test recording to ensure your microphone volume is not too loud or too soft.

The VoxForge applet works best with Firefox on Windows and Linux (Seamonkey also works on Linux if you are having problems with Firefox).

Recording Prompts

For each prompt line, please record your speech as follows:

click the Record button, pause for half a second, Read the corresponding prompt sentence, pause for half a second, and then click the the Stop button.

If you make a mistake, click Record again to re-record your prompt.

Please do not read the punctuation marks out loud.

Once you have completed recording all ten prompts the Upload button will activate. Click the Upload button to upload your entire submission to the VoxForge repository as a single zip file.

Repeat the process (multiple submissions are encouraged!)
