Upload

Upload data to start creating your ReadAlong

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!

Text

Upload the text of your ReadAlong

You can upload text in a number of ways. You can upload plain text files (.txt), Microsoft Word Documents (.docx), or XML files (.xml)

Audio

Upload the audio of your ReadAlong

You must upload your audio either as an mp3 or wav file.

Mapping

The map between your language's writing system, and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

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.

Uploaded Material

Here are the files you've uploaded

**Not Implemented: Here is one of the reasons we need data binding**

{# {% for k, v in uploaded.items() %} {% if v %} {% for f in v %}
{% if k == 'audio' %} {% elif k == 'text' %} {% elif k == 'maps' %} {% endif %}

{{ f['fn'] }}

{% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} #}
Go to the next step!
