After you have created a course you need to add at least one new level to your course to have access to the database screen. In this screen you can add new columns.
Its unfortunate Memrise doesn’t have a built-in text-to-speech feature. It would improve the experience of community generated courses, and also help support creators by making the process easier. I have literally spent months putting audio together for my courses and now this German Pokemon one I am working on is going to to take me months to finish.
Thanks for your comments and feedback. I’m aware our documentation about course creation is not in top shape, but the good news is we have plans to update and improve it. Although this task is not our top priority right now and I can’t give you a timeframe, I can assure you that all your comments will be taken into consideration when we’ll assess the missing areas and FAQs to cover.
The existing FAQs should cover all the main bits to get you started, but if you have any doubts let us know and we’ll help.
Unfortunately we don’t have one, but thanks for the suggestion! It’s worth noting that the FAQs here are roughly ordered in a way that should help you cover all the bases first (e.g. how to create a course, overview of databases and how to add items to them, columns/attributes, bulk uploads etc).
