Tapewrite is an online service that allows create a kind of audio blog in which articles are kinds of podcasts that can be illustrated.
Difficult to present the concept of Tapewrite. It reminds me of a Medium service but for the sound. Although it was not specifically designed for this purpose, Tapewrite can be of great use in a reverse class context.
After you sign up, Tapewrite allows you to customize a public page where you will publish your recordings. For this nothing more simple, just give a title and a description to your article. Then you will have to upload the sound recording. At the moment, Tapewrite only supports Mp3 format.
The particularity and true added value of Tapewrite is that you can then add ‘cards’ or slides wherever you want in your recording.. These may contain text and links or images. The insertion points containing your cards will appear in the auditor’s reader. They can either listen to your recording and see the cards scrolling automatically over the audio or go directly to one of them by clicking on the insertion point.
These slides that support your sound can be shared with a click on social media, they can be commented on or archived.
TapeWrite works like a traditional social network. You can subscribe to other authors and listen to their audio posts. You can also "like" and be "liked" in turn.
TapeWrite can easily host your audio lessons that you can illustrate with slides of your choice. The tool can also host audio reporting from students by allowing them to mix sound, text and photos easily.
The tool is still in development, it lacks a mobile version and perhaps also an integrated audio editing tool to be complete. Still, the idea is interesting. To be tested. The other good news is that The service is completely free and according to its creators will remain so.

Thank you Fidel for this resource. Very interesting and removes the limitations that I have already encountered with regard to conventional solutions.
Hello Fidel, I very much like to receive your newsletters. Every time, a little pearl for me. I read the article on TapeWrite and I am interested because I want to prepare a lesson on migrants from Calais. I tried but I can’t. I do not know where to link the radio broadcast and then ask questions. Does the link have to be on this form?

Thank you and good Sunday,

Hello Valerie,
Thank you very much for your message. Unfortunately Tapewrite cannot integrate the sound you want to broadcast. At the moment, anyway. This tool is still under development and only works with Mp3 formatted files. The link you give me points to a sound streamed by Radio France.
Hello,
I am Jonathan, and I work for TapeWrite, do not hesitate to write to us at team_fr@tapewrite.com.
For your question, in fact, you can only increase mp3s, and they must belong to you, you cannot broadcast the sounds of Radio France without their agreement.
