Hello, everyone. 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.) Cheers, A.
