Your account will automatically default on the New Audio Tour page.AudioTours has two ways to see your listings. 1.) Listings imported from ListHub, and 2.) Manually uploading your own listings. (See How To Upload Manual Listings Article)

If you currently have no active listings you will have an icon indicating so with a practice listing as a placeholder. You can polish your technique on recording audios and provide a demonstration to sellers. You will receive an email from us stating you have a new listing in your account once you add a listing into the MLS.

From the New Audio Tour page click on a listing.

Click on a photo you would like to record on.

A recording page will open with the picture, the listing address, the description from the MLS and the list price.

The script box shown below with the red arrow is where the closed captioning and the language translation will derive from. To have your audio transcribe accurately you have several options:

You can create a script and cut and paste the script directly into the box and record

You can type directly into the script and record

You can record and the system will transcribe for you. If you choose this option, be sure to review the script box to make sure it has captured what you said correctly.

Note: You can enter in all the scripts for the photos prior to recording by clicking on the right and left arrows next to the photo. Your script will automatically save when you click to the next photo.
