Following Bodhisattwa's request[1], I have added an upload feature to the (command-line) Linux version of this tool, so it can now batch-upload the recorded pronunciation files to Commons on your behalf. (Ideally, it should have used OAuth, but that would take longer to implement. :)) If you want to use the new functionality, just get the latest pronuncify.rb script from GitHub[2], *install the new dependencies* (see the README.md file on GitHub for instructions), and enjoy! :) (I'd love to know if any of you are using the tool.)

(this is an announcement in my capacity as a volunteer.) Inspired by a lightning talk at the recent CEE Meeting[1] by our colleague Lars Aronsson, I made a little command-line tool to automate batch recording of pronunciations of words by native speakers, for uploading to Commons and integration into Wiktionary etc. It is called *pronuncify*, is written in Ruby and uses the sox(1) tool, and should work on any modern Linux (and possibly OS X) machine. It is available here[2], with instructions. I was then asked about a Windows version, and agreed to attempt one. This version is called *pronuncify.net <http://pronuncify.net>*, and is a .NET gooey GUI version of the same tool, with slightly different functions. It is available here[3], with instructions. Both tools require word-list files in plaintext, with one word (or phrase) per line. Both tools name the files according to the standard established in [[commons:Category:Pronunciation]], and convert them to Ogg Vorbis for you, so they are ready to upload. In the future, I may add OAuth-based direct uploading to Commons. If you run into difficulties, please file issues on GitHub, for the appropriate tool. Feedback is welcome. A.
