I have ZERO experience in code beyond original HTML. CSS is like a new language to me and I do not speak it.
I have searched the forum and the closest answer I can find is a link to a video that is about TTS, which is not what I want. Besides, I think the video was for Mac and not Windows.
First, the suggestions:
I have read over the manual on everything related to keyword: audio and there is no clear description on how to add audio to a card. They speak of fields and {{audio}} and whatever, but I cannot figure this out and by looking through similar questions, I think on-site video tutorials are something to consider.
Another suggestion I would like to make is to create an option for decks or sub-decks to turn off the “Duplicate Card” warning. Some decks will need the warning, but others will only be an annoyance because it is unapplicable.
I want to make a “basic card” clone that I will rename to Basic with Audio (actually, I already cloned the Basic Card and renamed it). On the front, I want a typewritten word in French. On the back, what the word means in English (so text, which may include other textual things) and a button (I have no preference what the button looks like) that will play an mp3 (that I downloaded) of the French word spoken by a French native. I do not want it to auto-play. I just want to click on a button to make it play.
In addition, I want to make what I will call “Listening Cards”. These will have no text on the front of the card, but will have an audio file for the French word. I then have to type what I hear on the front and the back will reveal the correct answer.
Then there is the issue of the incessant “duplicate card” warnings which will go into effect since the front of the Listening Cards will be “Type the Word”. I read one solution to change the card type, but that is insufficient, because then the cards will reverse themselves when using them, completely defeating the purpose of the exercise.
I do not want to use TTS. I want and need it to be a native speaker.
Is anyone willing to work with me on these issues? I know it is probably a repeat answer but my search results have led me to answers that CSS people understand, or instructions that do not exactly match my needs. I’m sure there is an answer out there but I’ve literally spent days trying to work this out.
Many thanks to anyone who can help me.
I also wish to thank the developers for their much-needed work. Complaining is not what this post means. I really do appreciate it!
