AUDIO FILES???

[princessclem]

I was wondering if you have to have a microphone to be able to make your own words in little reader? if you dont have one how would you make the audio for them? thanks

Hi Princess Clem!

Yes, you will need a microphone or a headset to record your voice for Little Reader.   Apart from this, the only other option is to use a Text-to-Speech software program, and even those we do not really recommend because they are still quite imperfect and some sound very much like robots reciting the words.  :tongue2:

For more information on how to record your pronunciations, please refer to this thread:

Thanks!

THANKS!! where would you get one of the headset things? do they work on all computers?

You can buy one at any store like Wal-mart. And all you have to do is plug it up to the mic jack on your computer.

I used normal headphones to record my voice to use with another program.  The final product was brilliant.  My voice was clear and quite pretty sounding I would imagine that it would also work for this program.
Another solution would be to use an MP3 or MP4 that has recording capabilities.  You can record the words, upload onto the PC but then I think that they would need to be converted into supporting audio files.  I'll try it out hopefully soon and I'll get back to you on how it went and if it is time consuming.  Being a mum, I know that time is very precious and we mums always try to maximise the bit of time we have.

That's right Nikzam!

Any normal headphones will do - it doesn't even have to be expensive to make it sound great.   All you'll need to do is plug them in to your PC or laptop, and start recording!

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to record your voice in Little Reader.

And Little Reader supports most audio formats (.wav, .mp3, etc.) so you're sure to be able to use your recordings to attach to your Little Reader categories and playlists!
