Recently, a colleague of mine developed a program called EasyRecorder that will read Toolbox files and record speech for each record just by using the arrow keys of your keyboard. The program reads your data file and displays all the words in your dictionary like the browse view in Toolbox. You can do some customization of which fields to display. You must also specify where you want to store the sound files. Pressing the right arrow key starts the recording, pressing the left arrow key stops the recording. Pressin
g the down arrow moves the focus to the next word or record. When the left arrow keys gets pressed, recording stops and the program saves the sound file with the text in the \ge field as its name (another field can be specified as well). The sound file is saved in the specified folder with the name from the gloss field and the name and path is entered in the \sf (sound file) field of the database. This is about as quick and pain-free a method to add sound recordings to Toolbox files as could be possible. All you need is a microphone and a computer that can record sound. There are video tutorials on the site. Please note that this program is still in an alpha stage of development, but it does what it promises to do already. For peace of mind, make a back up of your data before using this program. I'm sure the developer would love to hear about bugs, suggestions for improvement, or praises for this awesome utility.</SPAN><BR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><BR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; ">The link to EasyRecorder is:</SPAN><BR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><A href="https://mail.jaars.org/%7Esheldon_kehler@sil.org/EasyRecorder.html"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">https://mail.</SPAN></A></WBR><WBR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; ">jaars.org/</SPAN></WBR><WBR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; ">~sheldon_</SPAN></WBR><WBR style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style=
