It's possible that Apple has changed things. I suggest using Checker: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=CheckerDavidPhillips wrote: ↑June 28th, 2020, 4:15 am I am using an iMac running 10.15.4. I have opened the file in iTunes and I find no "Summary" tab. Further I right clicked and opened "get info" - again no "summary" tab. I'm not sure where to go from here. And none of the information provided shows volume -????

I used the checker on my first test but I see that I need to post the link to the actual recording for a real person to give me the okay before I do a real recording...but where to I put the link to my test recording? The Checker said I was fine (after a preliminary failed check XD)
Here's the link in case I'm supposed to post it here!

For anyone else reading, you upload it and post a new thread with the link in it, as detailed in the instructions for the 1-minute test.

Hello Esther
(later). "Sarah's husband wrote it"
I have used Checker.exe for both my 1-minute test and for several PL assigments.
I remember seeing someone, somewhere, say "My husband wrote it", so if this is not you, then I should be addressing someone else's husband.
Can Checker be invoked with a filename from the Win command line:-
I tried this on my Win10 and while Checker.exe loaded, it did not open the nominated file.
Thanks in advance to Esther or whoever picks this up, and of course, the corresponding husband!
P.S. Any Checker.exe command-line switches would be welcome, too!

Hello Anne.
I may not have made myself clear.
I wasn't trying to tell anyone how to use Checker. I just wanted to know how to make better use of it myself (in this case by automating its use for me).
Cheers
Chris

Limiter will shave down some of the peaks, the "blasts" that sometimes happen on vowels.
To reduce the overall volume, use Amplify, and put in a negative amount. So if Checker says your volume is 92.3, do Amplify and put it for something like -3 (to get it to 89.3, close enough).

"Required"? No. We do have a suggested text, which helps catch the sounds that can cause problems with bad mic placement (TH, K, etc.). But that text isn't in Arabic.

Hello! First time on here. I was wondering where you find the script for the 1-Minute Test Recording.
