Tatoeba
Look into the possibility of incorporating the LinguaRecorder into Tatoeba.org for recording audio.
Sysko recently wrote to [email protected] to introduce this idea.
The Idea
Look into the possibility of incorporating the LinguaRecorder into Tatoeba.org.
LinguaRecorder is a fast cross-browser voice recording JS library.

You can try it out here. https://lingua-libre.github.io/LinguaRecorder/demo/sandbox.html LinguaRecorder sandbox
It can be set to automatically crop beginnings and endings like the Shtooka Recorder, and seems to do the normalizing of the audio level like Shtooka Recorder does.
It's being used on this website if you want to see how it's being used.

I tried the LinguaRecorder. Personally, it does not work well for me. My recordings are always weirdly altered.
actually, I think coorporating with Common Voice would be a nice idea. I'm not sure about the doability though. https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/zh-TW
@levihighway I think the Lingua Recorder is still under development. You should report any issue to them, not here.
As for Common Voice, they only accept CC0 or public domain texts, while the majority of sentences on Tatoeba are under CC-BY, so you cannot record them on Common Voice. Because of this limitation, we have developed a way to allow Tatoeba contributors to publish their sentences under CC0, but this is an opt-in feature. The implementation of this feature was made possible a few years ago thanks to a grant from Mozilla, specifically to bring more text resources to Common Voice.
I was thinking about introducing the application that Common Voice has, instead of providing all Tatoeba sentences to Common Voice. I'm not sure about the practicality tho.
