How to Create New Sound SetsSound sets allow you to play audio pronunciations for the numbers you present in Little Math. This can be used in many ways, such as rapid flashing of random numbers, or to teach a foreign language (or so you don't lose your voice having to say the numbers all the time!
) Today's guide will teach you how to create new Sound sets quickly and easily!
To create a new Sound set you will need:
- Audio files (Little Math is compatible with .MP3, .WAV and .WMA file extensions) of individual pronunciations from zero to one hundred. If you do not have these, you can record them using a microphone and a sound recording software.
Tip: For users of Little Reader, you may use BrillKids Easy Voice Recorder to record your pronunciations for Little Math! When recording, don't forget to name your files carefully so the numbers don't get mixed up.
Assuming you have pronunciation files ready to plug into your Little Math, let's get started. First navigate to the
NUMBER LIBRARY of Little Math by clicking on the
NUMBER LIBRARY button at the top of the application. From this screen:
- Select the
Sounds tab from the Number Library screen.
- Click on the
NEW button located in the bottom-left of the Sounds tab. Alternatively, you may right-click in the Sound set list and select "New Sound Set" from the context menu that appears.
- A new Sound set will be created below the Sound set you have currently selected, with its name highlighted.
- Type in the desired name for your new Sound set (e.g. "Spanish (woman)"), and press ENTER on your keyboard to confirm.
- To begin attaching audio files to your new Sound set, follow the steps below:
1) Double-click in the blank space to the right of "0" in your list of numbers.
2) A window will pop up allowing you to navigate and select the file you want to attach.
3) Once you have selected a file to attach, click on "
Open" to confirm.
4) You may preview the file you have selected for the number by either clicking on the green play icon on the right, or by clicking the "
PLAY SELECTED FILE" button at the bottom of your list of numbers.
5) Repeat steps 1 to 4 to continue customizing your Sound set.
To save you even more time, you may also check our
Forum Downloads area to see if the language you want has already been created. Additional Sound sets may be downloaded and imported straight into your Number Library.
That concludes today's guide, we hope you will enjoy teaching your little one with Little Math!
