1How to create sounds for other languages
2========================================
3
4* Record sounds for 0-9.
5 Speak fast enough to make sound files small. Make sure the level of sound is
6 the same as in the provided samples for English (this is important for making
7 captchas harder to break). Save files in 8 KHz 8-bit PCM WAV format. (To do
8 this in Audacity, set "Project Rate (Hz)" at the lower left corner to 8000,
9 then click File > Export, select "Other uncompressed files", click
10 Options..., select "WAV (Microsoft)" for Header, and "Unsigned 8 bit PCM" for
11 Encoding.)

13 If you're not sure if your sounds are okay or how to save them properly, just
14 save one of them into any format (MP3 is okay), and send it to me
15 <dmitry@codingrobots.com>. I'll check it, and if it's okay, I'll ask you for
16 other sounds, and process them myself (in this case, you can stop reading.)
17
18* Put `0.wav` - `9.wav` into the subdirectory with language name (e.g. "ua").
19
20* Open main.go and edit "var langs" on line 21 to include the new directory
21 name.
22
23* go install && $GOROOT/bin/capgensounds
