Dear Alex

We have an android app called “Meri Bhasha Meri Vaani” (MBMV) that we use for collecting Audio data for our 3 languages, namely Hindi, Bengali and Punjabi . It is not restricted to these 3 language and can be configured to accommodate any language. This App does meet your first requirement i.e. it displays text over the mobile screen, thereafter user can record his voice and send to the server. User is not bound to complete the session in one go, rather can complete his recordings whenever he wants. Recorded data is then sent to the Server for storage.

For your second requirement, our App will need some customization which we will try to finish within a week time.

With this being said, we would be happy to share and host our App for your language also. We will send the Audio recordings whenever you will need it.

Looking forward for your response.

Regards

Karunesh K Arora

Subject: [SIGUL] android app to collect recordings of read text & similar offline?

Dear all,

I'm a big fan of lig-aikuma, which allowed us to collect key data in remote regions in Bolivia, and recommended it to a team member who is heading back there in a week. But only today we realized it doesn't work with the android version in the phone that's being taken to the field.

I wonder if any of you know of something that works like lig-aikuma, allowing us to provide the app with:

a list of texts to be shown on the screen, & collect the audio while the informant reads the text;
a list of sound files that can be listened to, & collect the audio while the informant repeats what they heard (or discusses it)

I read about ODK & jotforms mobile, which may be programmable to have those functionalities, but I'm hoping we don't need to develop this in a rush. So if you've used them to do one or the both above, we'd be grateful if we can take a peek at your code.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

-Alex
