Hello, everyone.
(this is an announcement in my capacity as a volunteer.)
Inspired by a lightning talk at the recent CEE Meeting[1] by our colleague Lars Aronsson, I made a little command-line tool to automate batch recording of pronunciations of words by native speakers, for uploading to Commons and integration into Wiktionary etc. It is called *pronuncify*, is written in Ruby and uses the sox(1) tool, and should work on any modern Linux (and possibly OS X) machine. It is available here[2], with instructions.
I was then asked about a Windows version, and agreed to attempt one. This version is called *pronuncify.net http://pronuncify.net*, and is a .NET gooey GUI version of the same tool, with slightly different functions. It is available here[3], with instructions.
Both tools require word-list files in plaintext, with one word (or phrase) per line. Both tools name the files according to the standard established in [[commons:Category:Pronunciation]], and convert them to Ogg Vorbis for you, so they are ready to upload.
In the future, I may add OAuth-based direct uploading to Commons. If you run into difficulties, please file issues on GitHub, for the appropriate tool. Feedback is welcome.

This is an excellent news.

Hello, everyone.
Following Bodhisattwa's request[1], I have added an upload feature to the (command-line) Linux version of this tool, so it can now batch-upload the recorded pronunciation files to Commons on your behalf.
(Ideally, it should have used OAuth, but that would take longer to implement. :))
If you want to use the new functionality, just get the latest pronuncify.rb script from GitHub[2], *install the new dependencies* (see the README.md file on GitHub for instructions), and enjoy! :)
(I'd love to know if any of you are using the tool.)
Cheers,
A.

Asaf,
Thanks for adding the new feature to this awesome tool. I have started recording and uploading files to Commons using Pronuncify. I will notify you if I face some issues.
Best regards, Bodhisattwa
