Wikimedia Commons Audio Upload Tool

Spell4Wiki is a mobile application to record and upload audio files for Wiktionary words to Wikimedia Commons. Spell4Wiki also acts as a multilingual Wiki-Dictionary.

App Features:

  1. Spell For Wiktionary - Record & upload audio for Wiktionary category-based word lists

  2. Spell For WordList - Upload audio for custom word lists from text files or copy & paste

  3. Spell For Word - Record and upload pronunciation for individual words

  4. Wiktionary Search - Search word meanings from Wiktionary in multiple languages



What Spell4Wiki App Achieved:
• Supported 250+ Languages for all 4 features
• Uploaded 40,000+ audio files to Wikimedia Commons from various language contributors
• All audio files are categorized under Wikimedia Commons

Purpose of this application
There are plenty of words in the Wiktionary. But they do not have enough pronunciation audio files. So we can upload pronunciation audio for words in a simple way. And we can use those pronunciation for wiki data planning and other technologies like machine learning under CC-license. And other linguists can learn how to pronounce a word.

Technical Features:
• High-quality WAV recording with OGG conversion
• Smart filtering to check words that already have audio
• Direct upload to Wikimedia Commons with proper categorization
• Support for 250+ languages
