Progress Tracking
Real-Time Counters
Two levels of counters are available:
Global Counter (List Header)
45 / 480 recordings
Displayed at the top of the list for the active tab. Updated immediately after each submission.
Filter Counters
On the filter buttons:
To do (435) Done (45)
These counters show: - To do: number of items not yet recorded - Done: number of items with audio submitted
Using Filters to Stay Organized
"To do" — Working Efficiently
The "To do" filter displays only items without audio. Use it to: - Know exactly what remains - Avoid losing time browsing already-completed items - Track your progress from session to session
"Done" — Reviewing Quality
The "Done" filter displays all items with audio. Use it to: - Listen back to your recordings with fresh ears - Identify items to re-record - Check sonic consistency across items on the same card
Listening Back to Your Recordings
To listen back to an already-recorded item: 1. Click the 🔊 "Listen" button on the item 2. The audio plays (streaming from the server)
When to Listen Back?
- After 20–30 recordings in a row
- At the start of each new session (listen to the last 5)
- Before finalizing your work
Critical Listening Criteria
| Criterion | Good | To redo |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Clearly audible | Too soft or clipping |
| Clarity | Each syllable distinct | Muffled, blurry sounds |
| Background noise | Silent or very faint | Audible distracting noise |
| Tone/intonation | Correct | Wrong tone (tonal languages) |
| Duration | 1–5s depending on content | Overly long silences, cut-offs |
Re-Recording an Item
If you are not satisfied with a recording:
- Filter on "Done" to find the item
- Click ✏️ "Re-record"
- The modal opens
- Make your new recording
- Submit — the new audio immediately replaces the old one
ℹ️ Replacement is immediate for new learners. For learners who have already downloaded the content offline, the new audio will be available at their next internet connection.
Indicative Goals per Session
| Profile | Recordings/session | Session duration |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 20–30 | 30–45 min |
| Regular | 40–60 | 45–60 min |
| Experienced | 60–100 | 60–75 min |
Do not rush at the expense of quality. A poor-quality recording that needs to be redone takes more time than a careful first-take recording.
Progress Milestones
| Progress | Stage |
|---|---|
| 25% | One quarter of content recorded — great start! |
| 50% | Halfway done — the language can be publicly launched |
| 75% | Three quarters — most players have access to audio |
| 100% | Complete — optimal experience for all players |
