Uploading sounds

Audio fields can be added to each tactile graphic in the database via the Designer app or the graphics program Inkscape. These fields can be linked to audio text content (title and description), but also to sound files.

All conventional sound file formats with content up to 50 MB can be uploaded.

You can only add sounds to your own graphics, as third-party graphics cannot be edited by you. (Clone a graphic to get your own version of a graphic).

Adding sound in “View” mode

In the single graphic view, sounds can be added using the “Edit” pencil in “View” mode. Go to the next text section to learn how to add sound without barriers. Sighted people can click on audio fields in the preview with the “Edit” pen. The “Edit text” window will then appear, where a sound file can be uploaded via the “Other sounds” tab. Either a text or a sound can be output in both the title and the description.

Select the tab that corresponds to the desired audio type. If text is to be played, select “Simple”, “Other sounds” should be selected for sound. Select the sound via “Select file” and check the audio output via “Play file”. If the sound does not fit, it can be removed again via “Delete file”.

Add accessible sound in the “Text list”

The text list contains text and sound content that is linked to the audio fields. “Title” and ‘Description’ are listed one after the other in the list and can be sorted alphabetically in ascending or descending order using the arrow symbols. Now click on “Edit text” in the title or description. The “Edit text” window will then appear, where a sound file can be uploaded via the “Other sounds” tab. Either a text or a sound can be output in both the title and the description.
