Preparing the SD Card

The Voice It requires that you use a micro-SD card and that the card be formatted as “exFAT”.    Then you must copy all sound files to the card before the Voice It can “speak”.

If Necessary, Format the SD Card as exFAT

To check the formatting of your SD card, insert it into your PC and then right click on the card and choose Properties:

This new 8 Gb SD card has been formatted as FAT32 by the manufacturer:

The card must be formatted as “exFAT”, so right click on the card again, and this time choose “Format…”:

 

Choose “exFat” from the File system pull-down:

Now press the “Start” button.  You’ll be warned that all data on the card will be lost – this is OK.    When the reformatting quickly completes you’re ready to put the sound files on the SD card.

Copy the Sound Files to the SD Card

Navigate to your “Voice It” folder:

and then to the WAV files folder:

Copy the entire contents of the WAV files folder to the SD card.

Now you’re ready to continue with the Voice It assembly process.
