Step 1: Start a New Language Sample and Capture or Upload a Story

After launching the Language Sample tool:

1. Type in the name of the book you used. In this case use the example: 
   • Frog, Where Are You?
2. Click Save
3. Capture or Upload a Story

There are two ways you can add a story recording to ELSA. You can:

• Record directly on your phone or computer
• Upload an existing audio file

Most SLPs start by uploading files they recorded on another device and that’s what we will do here. Know that this is an extra step though and may require you to maintain a file on a personal or unsecure device. Once you get the hang of it, you can record directly into ELSA. For this tutorial example:

1. Upload AudioSample1 for Frog, Where Are You?
2. Wait briefly for processing
3. Click Refresh if needed

🪄 Within moments, your transcript appears automatically.

This eliminates:

• Manual transcription
• Repeated playback
• Time-intensive formatting
