RECORDING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Click RECORD, and then ALLOW access to your microphone. For the first reading of a sentence, it will be necessary to allow access twice, once at the browser level (there will be a pop-up request) and then again at the recorder. Thereafter, you will only need to allow the microphone access each time you hit the record button.
2) Due to the time lag of the Internet, please allow the recorder to reach at least the two-second mark before clicking "Reveal Sentence". You will then be shown the test sentence. Please do not reveal the sentence before starting the recording.
READING INSTRUCTIONS
1) The first time: Start reading as soon as the sentence appears on the screen – without looking it over first.
2) Do your best, but don't worry if it doesn't sound quite right. Some of the sentences are long and complicated. They're designed to be challenging!
3) After the first read, DO NOT press STOP on the recorder. Please allow it to continue recording.
4) Start the second reading when you are ready, but please note that each complete recording has a three-minute time limit.
5) This time, read it the way you think it ought to be pronounced.
6) If you believe the first reading of the sentence was fine, read it the second time in just the same way.
SAVING THE RECORDING
1) After recording your second attempt, wait at least 2 seconds and click STOP.
2) IMPORTANT! DO NOT CLICK "STOP" BEFORE COMPLETING BOTH READING ATTEMPTS. ONCE THE RECORDER IS STOPPED, YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE NEXT SENTENCE. RERECORDING IS DISABLED FOR THIS EXPERIMENT.
3) Due to internet traffic and computer speed, recorder save times may vary. Please be patient. When the saving routine is complete, you will be able to continue to the next sentence.
