Kawthar

Thank you for your recording.
I did struggle a bit to understand your accent, but you are certainly welcome here.

There are, however, a couple of technical issue to be addressed.

1) The volume is just below our lower threshold, at 85.9 decibels. Our target is 89 with an acceptable range of 86-92. So, please amplify this by 3 dBs

2. The silences at the beginning and end are too short.
At the start, please leave between 1/2 and 1 second. You have less than 1/2 second, so the beginning of your reading may be cut off by some programs when listening. At the end, I find only about 3 seconds, and we need something closer to five seconds of silence at the end of the reading.

Please upload your corrected file with the same file name, and post the link here again with the new file length so I can give it a quick check.

Let us know if you need help with any of this.

Thank you Larry for your feedback and my apologies for your struggle, I am form an Arab country so that's why my accent is different.
I want to check the accuracy of the pronunciation of the words in my record, from where can I get help on that? as I will consider the technical issues that you mentioned above.
Many thanks.

Thank you!
This is PL OK

hi, I was here looking for more poems to read and noticed that this one still just says assigned and not PL OK, was worried for a moment that I only thought I submitted it.

[AgnesRobert]

Thank you!
I've put you in for this.

I've also taken care of Section 27.
I see from my note that I did PL it, but obviously did not get the MW updated.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Here are three of my recordings, if someone could kindly PL for me:

Section 73 has a few seconds of extra silence at the beginning, but the others are PL OK off the bat.

Thank you!
This is PL OK, and I double checked to make sure I've got it right in the MW.
