Yeah, it'd be cool to have a tool that allows the subject to record and then make their file an ogg, or record it to ogg in a super fast way.
it's a small, but time consuming thing to record yourself, upload it (or whatever) to your computer, and then figure out how to make it into an open license.

I'd like to ask your support the project I started:
<http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/**open-licensed-format-**
recordings-voices-wikipedia-**wikimedia-commons/<
http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia...
asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample of their speaking voice, for use on those articles.
An example script is "Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place] and I have been [job or position] since [year]".
So far, the participants:
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Category:Voice_intro_**project
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project
include Sue Black, Cory Doctorow, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more.
Do you know anyone who has an article about them? Do you know of tools that would simplify the process of making ogg files, open licensing them, and uploading them to Commons? How can we include more speakers of other languages?
I think we really need such a tool, for instance it's a shame that Wiktionary doesn't have pronounciation recordings on most of its entries. Of course it's better if the speaker is authoritative (like the subject
in
person for a biography or a professional for Wiktionary), but tools would help everyone.
