Audio upload tool for Wiktionary words to Wikimedia Commons & Wiki-Dictionary
About this app
Wikimedia Commons Audio Upload Tool
Spell4Wiki is a mobile application to record and upload audio files for Wiktionary words to Wikimedia Commons. Spell4Wiki also acts as a multilingual Wiki-Dictionary.
App Features:
• Spell For Wiktionary - Record & upload audio for Wiktionary category-based word lists
• Spell For WordList - Upload audio for custom word lists from text files or copy & paste
• Spell For Word - Record and upload pronunciation for individual words
• Wiktionary Search - Search word meanings from Wiktionary in multiple languages
What Spell4Wiki App Achieved: • Supported 250+ Languages for all 4 features • Uploaded 40,000+ audio files to Wikimedia Commons from various language contributors • All audio files are categorized under Wikimedia Commons
Purpose of this application There are plenty of words in the Wiktionary. But they do not have enough pronunciation audio files. So we can upload pronunciation audio for words in a simple way. And we can use those pronunciation for wiki data planning and other technologies like machine learning under CC-license. And other linguists can learn how to pronounce a word.
Technical Features: • High-quality WAV recording with OGG conversion • Smart filtering to check words that already have audio • Direct upload to Wikimedia Commons with proper categorization • Support for 250+ languages

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.manimarank.spell4wiki is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 3.1 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Spell4Wiki first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Spell4Wiki, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Spell4Wiki do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
