Audio files

Thank you for your contributions! However, I think you should get a better microphone. Some of your audio files, especially on gyatt, are barely comprehensible. Ioaxxere (talk) 21:09, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I haven't recorded audio in a month. microphone works on other audio recording websites on the silver Chromebook, but not lingualibre. today I logged into Wiktionary on my Samsung mobile phone, and I've tried to record audio. the microphone is very sensitive, and it's so easy for my microphone to go red because it says I'm too loud. it isn't this sensitive when I use a regular voice recorder. Flame, not lame (talk) 21:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I see, I did notice that your old recordings sound very good. In that case I think you should use the same method you used back then. Ioaxxere (talk) 21:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

• Did you know about Category:Requests for audio pronunciation in English entries? Good place... Newfiles (talk) 23:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you for the resource. Flame, not lame (talk) 01:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Nice edit summaries

Admittedly: they don't really summarize your edits. They are pretty entertaining though. If you like to chat I would invite you to join the Discord server! Ioaxxere (talk) 02:46, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

That is the point! I love to share silly stories. I will need to create a profile to join Discord Server. Flame, not lame (talk) 12:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I joined the Discord a moment ago. Flame, not lame (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

A trick to reduce copy-pastos

Instead of writing the page title into every invocation of {{audio}}, you can simply paste {{audio|en|LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-{{subst:PAGENAME}}.wav|a=US}} and it'll always refer to the correct file. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 20:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

thank you for providing information. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 20:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

that will save time! I'll no longer need to copy + paste everything. I didn't get the memo earlier. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 21:07, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Finding stuff needing pronunciation

If you don't know about it yet, I'd like to introduce to petscan - it is a cool tool allowing you to get lists of pages which have various connections. this premade request, for example shows all English vulgarities without audio. The tool can also list all pages made or last edited after/before/on a particular date using a certain template or linking to certain pages. There's endless combinations, anyway, I use it a lot to fill in certain gaps we have. Denazz (talk) 07:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I can bookmark that. it can have a good use. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 09:06, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

sugar pie

Hey sugar pie - your audio is missing! Newfiles (talk) 06:54, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Fixed! I added it to sugar pie and sugarpie. 🥧 Thank you for the message. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 09:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Can you record audio files for distro-hop and distro-hopping? Thank you very much. Tc14Hd (aka Marc) (talk) 01:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I can do so in the morning. 🌞 I'm laying down on my bed, 🛏 and silver Chromebook 💻 is charging. 🔌 Audio requests are welcome, and I prefer long lists of pages needing audio 📜 over individual requests. Have a blessed one. 📿 "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 21:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Tc14Hd (aka Marc) I added both of the audios today. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 06:04, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, they sound great! Btw, do you know what's up with the timestamp on your first message? It now looks like you replied to my message before I even wrote it, lol. Tc14Hd (aka Marc) (talk) 16:00, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

My time zone is Menominee. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, it seems to be some MediaWiki bug. Normally it sould just convert all times to UTC correctly. Tc14Hd (aka Marc) (talk) 09:31, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

It's not automatic. It's manual. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 04:43, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Request additional audio file

Can upload an audio file for the dolphin shorts or skinny jeans page? YeBoy371 (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Yuppers. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

4000

Hey Flamekeeper! Well done on hitting 4000 audios. Vealhurl has 17000, I'm hoping you'll catch him P. Sovjunk (talk) 22:17, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Commander Keane and Vealhurl inspire me daily. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flamekeeper, not lamekeeper (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-ɛktəmi.wav

Should I ask for the audio file [[1]] to be renamed "LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame--ectomy.wav"? Rodrigo5260 (talk) 10:30, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

yes. renaming it to "-ectomy" can be more accessible because IPA contains some characters that are not on a traditional keyboard, and some people are unfamiliar with IPA. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 16:12, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

An admin dismissed it, claiming that it didn't comply with the renaming criteria, could you do it yourself? Just add Rename|LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame--ectomy.wav|1. (between {{}} ofc) Rodrigo5260 (talk) 12:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Redo these

Great selection of audios! A few might be wrong.

• saltimbocca - no "ch" sound here in Italian, it is /k/. Does your dialect include "ch"? If so, we might wanna add new IPA transcript
• tournedos - I don't like the schwa at the end
• cachopo - I used to live in Spain, and the middle sound was a monophthong, not "ou" sound, when uttered by native English speakers. Cachopo is quite a regional delicacy, probs unheard of outside Spaain, so there might be no "standard" pron.
• a little of the creature - the /ei/ at the start sounds unnatural - mebbe a weak form/schwa is better?
• afelia - it sounds like you're holding back a giggle!

Denazz (talk) 19:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I redid all 8 of those audios a minute ago. Sometimes it takes time for Wikimedia to update. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Afaik the Spanish /o/ is often anglicized with the low vowel (at least in American English, as their lot vowel is unrounded). Rodrigo5260 (talk) 12:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

This ^ And from what I'm seeing from GenAm speakers on YouTube I'd agree. AG202 (talk) 20:28, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

More?

• cabrito sounds slightly too Spanish!
• terrine doesn't match IPA transcription, and just sounds weirdish!
• banquette missing. Wonderfool's audio was shitty! Denazz (talk) 20:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

  I wrote a song [2] about Wonderfool. "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks for those. Spesh the last one P. Sovjunk (talk) 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

  Banquette or Wonderfool song? "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 11:51, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

  That was a song??? Sounded someone had trodden on your toes... P. Sovjunk (talk) 12:51, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

  what are the words to Vealhurl's poem about me?

  lyrics to Wonderfool Is On His Way:

  Wonderfool! Wonderfool! He's on his way! "Don't talk to me." 💔 Flame, not lame (talk) 20:21, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

  How the hell did you do that with your voice? Impressive. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 23:39, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  Manipulating the vocal cords to reach whistle register. Read about it here: Wikipedia.

  I'm essentially singing and whistling simultaneously. Thank you for the support. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 23:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  Can you also sing normally or only doing that? Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 00:02, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  I don't typically sing extremely high notes. My user page has a link to me singing Solveig's Song. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 00:48, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  I just listened to it, you can sing! Where's that song from, original work? Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  @Sérgio R R Santos: No PUC – 11:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  It is modeled after the Wonder Pets theme song. I replaced "Wonder Pets" with "Wonderfool" and "We're on our way" with "He's on his way." It's not really an original song but closer to a parody. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 11:18, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  I thought you were referring to Wonderfool Is On His Way.

  I sang Solveig's Song at a solo and ensemble competition during my sophomore year. It is an art song, and it was originally in Norwegian. There is a German version, and Solveig's Song is older than me. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 11:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

  Oh OK, thanks for the replies @PUC and @Flame; I knew Solveig is a scandinavian name so I was just curious. Sérgio R R Santos (talk) 11:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you record an audio for this :p Stríðsdrengur (talk) 01:13, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes. IPA will help. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 11:18, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

My attempt is on the page. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 15:28, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

looks awsome, thanks :p Stríðsdrengur (talk) 17:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Typoed audio files

The next time you typo an audio file please don't make a new one with the right spelling, just request renaming using 《Rename|(corrected file name)|1}》, just replace the 《》with {{}}. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 20:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

that is helpful. Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 20:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

pseudomorphoua

What word did you mean by this [[3]] pseudomorphous or pseudomorphia (the audio sounds as if you were saying the latter)? Rodrigo5260 (talk) 15:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I may have misspelled "pseudomorphous" and read aloud "pseudomorphia." Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 22:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I'll request it to be renamed as "pseudomorphous" and once it's done, I'll tell you to re-record it. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 23:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

thanks for letting me know. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 23:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Done, now you can re-record it as "pseudomorphous" (at least whenever you can). Rodrigo5260 (talk) 02:24, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

redone just now. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 02:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

breast boobily

Lol, for some reason I knew I was gonna hear your voice before I pressed play. I was, however, pleasently surprised for hearing it in pull-up resistor; I have since created pull-down resistor, logic level, logic high and logic low to which you can add your lovely voice, if you'd be so kind.

PS: In the meanwhile I stumbled upon fat logic and again, I knew the audio was yours before listening to it; all the funny words have your voice! Sérgio Santos (talk) 01:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

yes. I record and uploaded the audios tonight. I do enjoy voice work for silly words and phrases. right now I'm focusing heavily on super- words. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 01:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Wow, you work fast! I like how logic high has a high tone and logic low has a low tone, don't know if you did it on purpose.

right now I'm focusing heavily on super- words - yeah, I saw that, I'll leave you to work (or whatever the correct expression is); just one final request if you're interested - I stumbled upon this funny and slightly racist saying: if you're not Dutch, you're not much; sounds like a perfect fit for your voice.

Goodbye for now, or forever, who knows. Sérgio Santos (talk) 01:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't really view that saying as racist (I'm non-Dutch) but it's only for educational purposes. tone comes natural to me, and I adjust it if I'm asking a question. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 02:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I was kinda kidding when I said it was racist, mostly for the definition provided. Sérgio Santos (talk) 02:10, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

pseudosymmetrical

The audio of this page sounds like pseudosymmetry. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 14:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

you may remove that audio and transfer it to pseudosymmetry. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 14:43, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Just re-recording it correctly would be fine. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I cannot do that immediately. That is one solution. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 15:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't asking you to do it now, do it when you have access to the Chromebook, also, you already made pseudosymmetry, so renaming pseudosymmetrical.wav would be pointless. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 15:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

that makes sense Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 15:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

underbring

I reverted your edit because you got the stress wrong. It's a verb, not a noun. Kiwima (talk) 12:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I adjusted the intonation this morning with greater emphasis on "bring". Wikimedia may take time to update. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 12:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

under-sergeant

Are you sure you have the stress right on this one? I would have expected it on the first syllable of under, not the first syllable of sergeant. Kiwima (talk) 21:59, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I will redo it right away. Flame, not lame (Don't talk to me.) 22:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, this one has initial stress. Theknightwho (talk) 01:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
