Recording voice messages on the forum?

English as a Second Language Listening, speaking, pronunciation and accent

Hi everyone,

In a couple of weeks you will be able to record and listen to voice messages here on the forum. We are teaming up with Phil Burk, the creator of JavaSonics which is an online voice recording system. If you like, you can read the our interview with Phil Burks.

What do you think of this project? What additional features would be useful?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten and everyone,

I like some features which are more interactive. For interaction, I think both audio and video are great, and video is much better than audio because video is more attractive and impressive for most of people definitely. However, video will take people more bandwith as well. So it might be a trade off question.

Moreover, I try to play the audio, “[color=red]Listen to this voice message” on the left corner of the first post of this page. But it doesn’t work. I have no idea if it can work or not. Could you please tell me what’s the problem or I misread it only? Thanks in advance.

Speak to you soon.
Maggie^^

Hi,
Torsten,
I am intreasted in your new development, speaking and hearing others, it is an improvement to what we are doing. pls keep carring us along. On the other hand, I am supporting Maggie on her video idea but adding that the video thing should be an addition. What do you think, my dear Torsten?
I have a Laptop Notebook Computer that I dont know how use its web camera to link to the members of the forum so that I can see their faces as well as see my own face. How about that?

Hi,
Dear Torsten,
I can’t find where to click on the ‘Record’ button as I was told on my computer
to enable me record my voice on the form site. I have down loaded the Java software and have
acquired the headset with mic.
What do I do?

Hi Daniel,

Please take a look at your forum posts again. You will see the ‘record’ button between ‘quote’ and ‘edit’ buttons. The thing is that you first need to create and post a text message. Only after that you can record a voice message. Hope this makes sense. Just let me know.

Thanks,
Torsten

“This is Tea speaking. How are you today? I heard that we can now also record voice messages. That’s very interesting. I have already listened to some of your messages and I would like to introduce myself, too. As I said, my name is Tea and I’m from Georgia. I am a student. Please tell me how I can improve my English. OK, that’s it for now. I look forward to hearing your voice replies. Many thanks,
Tea.”

Hi Hank,

A new headphone costs about $9 – maybe Santa Claus is going to solve your problem ;-).
