Can I upload interview audio directly to archive.storycorps.org without the app?

Yes. If you've recorded an interview in a digital format (for example, on a digital recorder or a voice recording app), you can manually upload it from your mobile device or computer to your account on the archive.storycorps.org website. Supported audio file formats are AIFF, WAVE (WAV), FLAC, ALAC, OGG, MP2, MP3, AAC, AMR, and WMA.

To add your interview, go to archive.storycorps.org, log into your StoryCorps account, click on your username, click on "Add a New Interview" in the drop-down menu, and follow the prompts. Please note that a photo is required to finalize the upload process.
