How to install a package for local use
In this tutorial for the Windows version of Shtooka explorer, I will try to explain, how to install audio collections in your computer, in order to consult them without internet connexion.
Step 1: Download collection from internet
First of all, you have to download from internet the audio collection in the SWAC format from the download page of www.swac-collections.org.
Packages are available in Ogg and Flac formats. If you don't know the difference between these formats, choose the Ogg version of the package :
Choose the package that you want. Click-right on the link and choose "save file as..." (save target as...).
Step 2: Extract files from archive
You can use the software you want to extract file from .tar archives. I use 7-zip which is available from the 7-Zip homepage.
It will create a new directory named "ogg/" (it contains .ogg files).
You can rename this directory as you want. I renamed it as "dut-wcp".
Step 3: Explore the collection with Shtooka explorer
- Run shtooka-explorer.exe
- Open "File/Local Folders" from the menu.
- Click on the "Add Folder" button
- Select the directory which contains the audio collection then click "Ok"
- Click on the "Ok" button. Shtooka Explorer will reload indexes of all collections. Wait a little.
- Select the language of your collection in the listbox.
On this screenshot you can see 2 sounds for each word (the version from internet + the file from the disk)
- Now, you can remove the package from the list of the internet packages (File/Packages)
- Enjoy!
