In-browser audio recording
From Door43
|
How this project could be used:
Julio has translated "The Compassionate Father" into Spanish and is ready to create an audio recording of the story. He logs in to Door43 using a computer in a local Internet cafe. He browses to the Spanish translation of the story and clicks the button that says "record this story". A page loads that enables him to click the "start recording" button and record himself speaking the story.
When he is finished, he clicks the "stop recording" button. He listens to the story and decides that he wants to try a second time, so he re-records the story. The second version is much better and he clicks the "upload to Door43" button. Once the upload is complete, he is redirected to the page on Door43 that has the uploaded media, e.g. http://es.door43.org/wiki/File:<filename>.mp3'.
Technical considerations
Maxiumum usability - if possible, we would like to have a non-flash means of recording audio, though this may be unrealistic in a first version.
Simplicity - check out the audio recorder at www.soundcloud.com that consists of a single button. We are looking for something that is similar in that it is very simple to use.
Other notes
- Recording process should only be available for people with "upload" privileges. Need an easy way to request the privileges.
- The default filename should be the {{SUBPAGENAME}} name where the button to record audio was clicked.
