Receive a grade
This week you will practise transcribing more difficult words (focusing again on vowels). There is always only one correct answer.
-
Record yourselves at home reading the short text provided below. Ideally, use your mobile phone, or record it directly into the computer using a microphone. Save the recording as a WAV or MP3 file (you might need to convert it from your phone's format).
If you don't know how to work with Praat (from today's lesson), you may check this short tutorial: https://fonetika.ff.cuni.cz/working-in-praat/
Task for next week: After loading your sound file, create a new TextGrid by the 'Annotate...' button, with a single interval tier called "text" (leave the second box empty!). Copy into the tier what you've just read as a whole. If you prefer, you can first insert boundaries after each sentence, and copy the sentences one by one. This might help you move around the recording more easily. Up to you!
Remember to save the TextGrid ("Save as text file..." with the extension .TextGrid).
