That's not exactly how crowd sourcing works..

- Where's the page with the exact instructions for the task?
  (not just some memrise page and a long mail thread)

- Where's a list of jobs to do? I mean "here's the file, everyone, chop it" is _one_
  job, not a bunch of them. Just split the word lists (also the audio if possible)
  into manageable chunks, number them and and add a wiki page,
  where people can mark finished items.

- What to do with the final audio file of each job?

That's /exactly/ how crowd sourcing works. A bunch of people volunteer, and they're told what to do.

IFF I get volunteers, then I will provide exact instructions on what to do, how to do it, and what to do with the finished work.

If I don't get volunteers, then doing any of that work is pointless and a waste of time. As such, there is not currently a page of instructions, nor a list of jobs, nor any other thing.

I hope you don't think that me writing the instructions, cutting the audio into manageable chunks, giving them unique identifiers, creating a means by which volunteers can claim one or more of the chunks to prevent worker overlap, posting all of these things somewhere, and providing a repository for completed jobs, takes no effort on my part, because you would be sorely mistaken. I am not willing to go through all that effort if no one is going to volunteer.
