Hear Who

HearWho is an excellent website that I found out about on Twitter from the unheralded, Naomi Harm. This site takes text and then converts it into an mp3 file which can be real handy for students/teachers. Also, there are different inexpensive plans that a person can sign up for.

Thanks to ZarcoEnglish an excellent blog for the tip.

Dirpy

Dirpy is a new (beta) site that allows users to upload YouTube videos and extract the audio. This is ideal when all you need is that hard to find song/blurb/quote that can only be found on YouTube. I'm not sure what kind of permission rights come into play, but anything "common craft" should be just fine.



What makes Dirpy so good is how easy it is to use. Just upload a YouTube video (via a URL), adjust your settings and file size, and click download to Mp3.

Sound Bible

Sound Bible is an excellent site for getting royalty free sound effects. I first heard about this site from Free Technology 4 Teachers, and was surprised at how easy it is to use. All you have to do is browse their extensive library of effects or type in which sound you are looking for.

Another nice feature is ability to request a sound. This is ideal if a student/teacher need to use something that is not posted. My only concern is if there are any inappropriate sounds. I did find some that would fall in the category of vulgar so I'm sure this is something that educators should be aware of.

Once you have found the effect you are looking for you can download it either in .wav or .mp3 format.
