So either I fix the problem somehow or maybe someone else would like to tak= e over chunk 25?

Each job will be = essentially the same, with the only difference between them being the actua= l words in your chunk

With that in mind, these are the skills and software that are required = to do this job:

You must be able to recognize a gismu from it's pronunciation. This= =20 means that you must be able to identify and type the word solely from=20 the audio. If you know Lojban's pronunciation, this is not difficult.= =20 This is required because while Lindar recorded the audio /mostly/ in=20 frequency order, some were skipped, and some needed to be re-recorded.=20 If you need a list of the gismu in frequency order, you can find it=20 here: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Word+frequency+lists%3A= +gismu

It is possible that there are more of both unrecorded and badly=20 recorded words (badly recorded being words that are unidentifiable for=20 any reason). If you encounter either in the course of your job, you must be able to contact Lindar, likely preferably via email, to inform him=20 of these words so that he can submit new recordings. In the case of a=20 word or three, preferably to yourself. In the case of a chunk's worth o= f words, preferably to me so I can add the recording to the chunk list=20 for claimage.

You must possess, on the computer you will be using to work on, Audacit= y, available for free here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

You must= possess, on the same computer, the LAME MP3 encoder. You can download it a= t this site: htt= p://lame.sourceforge.net/, which provides the source code, or you can g= o here: http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php#Binaries to download a binary, or for Windows users you can download the .dll=20 directly from the instructions page that I will make if I get any=20 volunteers.

You must know how to collect a group of files into an archive. It does = not matter if you use .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz
=A0
, or any other format not mentioned.

You must know how to a= ttach a file to an email.

You must be able to follow written instructions, which you can find her= e: http= ://tinyurl.com/gismu-instructions

Finally, you must be willing to sacrifice some of your free time to do the actual=20 job. These last two are in my opinion no-brainers.

If = you meet these criteria, please go to http://tinyurl.com/gacsp-signup, claim = one or more chunks and type your name into the sign up field so everyone el= se=20 knows you've claimed that chunk, and follow the download link to=20 download your chunk in mp3 format.

There are 11 chunks total.=20 Each chunk is ~6 minutes of audio, which based on my rather basic math=20 should be ~100 gismu in each chunk.

When you have completed your chunk, place all the files into an=20 archive and email them to me. Then, if you like, grab another chunk. If=20 you don't like, go do something else.

I don't know how good = of an incentive this is, but you should know that this audio, once it's= been pulled apart into a usable format (the goal of this project), it will= be the audio for the various learning programs currently in existence and = probably for future ones as well. This means the current lessons on Anki an= d Memrise specifically, and more generally any other places where someone f= eels inclined to upload audio for how to pronounce the gismu.
