Welcome

Hello, Natrajdr, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I am Deepu Joseph (a.k.a. thunderboltz). Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Ogg File Creation

Hi there!

To create anything in ogg format, first you need to record the file, usually by using an audio editing software. If you have one that you use well, please use that one. If not, a very powerful free audio editor is Audacity.

I will presume at this point that you can figure out how to use Audacity. If however you have problems, please feel free to ask.

Then, you can transform it into an ogg file by the process of encoding. With Audacity, this can be done by two ways:

  • Export it directly by using Audacity's built-in ogg library.
    • (Note: If it is a voice recording, high frequencies are not necessary and only makes large file sizes. Set the sampling rate to 22050 Hz, and the Ogg vorbis quality to 0. Only increase it if you deem the resulting audio quality unacceptable (for speech, it should be acceptable for most.)
  • Export the recording as a .wav, and encode it to ogg using various tools. This has an advantage, because you can use aoTuV (Aoyumi's Tuned Vorbis, an improved version of Vorbis tuned by a renowned developer, and is recommended on the Net's audio authority, HydrogenAudio)

Enjoy, and feel free to ask.

(To sign your comment, which you should, use four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically be substituted by the wiki software into a signature you see below.)

Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in SVG format. The location maps by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The Indian Roadways map is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 districts in India (see List of districts of India), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Misplaced Pages to be India-related!
