To start recording, click on the Draft icon from your Home page:
Once you click the yellow Draft icon, you will be taken to the Section Listen page (see below). On this page, the section with the highest priority will be loaded into the player. A section of audio gives you a wider understanding of the context of that portion of text. This section could be made up of one or more passages, which the team will translate one by one. Passages are put together into the same section when they are related by a theme.
