1. How to read this ad?
Step 1. Record a header (1 recording)
One audio recording with the following information:
- Store name
- Dates the specials are valid
- Date of recording
Sample text:
“Foods Co. Specials are valid from December 18, Wednesday to December 24, Tuesday. Recorded on December 18.”
Step 2. Record the flyer page by page (1 recording per page)
A recording for a page will include the following:
-
Page number
e.g., “Page 7.” -
Short summary of items on the page
e.g., “fruits, cereals, pre-cooked food”Sometimes a single page has a lot of items, so the summary would be overly long. In this case, please split the page and record them as 2 separate pages. This would also cut the original summary in half. You can even split a large page into 3 or more if needed.
-
Items listed on the page
See section 2. How to read the items below. -
“End of page.”
TIPS
If having trouble telling pages apart, please see 3. How to distinguish pages?
for helpful tips.Please visit our FAQ for sample recordings.
Repeat the above steps for each page. For example, if the flyer has 16 pages then you should end up with 17 recordings (1 recording for each page plus the header recording in Step 1 above).
The flyer itself is on this link.
