In order to make a ReadAlong, we need 3 different things. We need some text, some corresponding
audio,
and a way of turning the writing system of your language (AKA Orthography) into the International Phonetic Alphabet
(IPA). If you're not a linguist, don't worry! This sounds scarier than it is, and, once you make the
map between your
language's writing system and the IPA once, you don't have to do it again! You can upload text in a number of ways. You can upload plain text files (.txt), Microsoft Word Documents
(.docx), or XML files (.xml) You must upload your audio either as an mp3 or wav file. The reason ReadAlong Studio works is because it leverages technologies that have been created for English.
Usually,
need a certain amount of data is needed in order to do the alignment that ReadAlong Studio does. But,
instead of that, your
ReadAlong is first converted to a very approximate English pronounciation. Then, ReadAlong Studio can
do the alignment based on that, and convert it back into your language once it's done. You can also use the dropdown below to select a pre-configured mapping for your language. **Not Implemented: Here is one of the reasons we need data binding** {{ f['fn'] }}Upload
