Hotspot popup content: add audio

I am an ESL teacher using a picture dictionary as a textbook. The vocabulary words on the page are already labeled. I'd like students to be able to click on hotspots to hear their pronunciation.
Right now, since I can add a video but not audio to a hotspot popup, I have to do this through the following steps:
- Record my voice to an audio file and save it. (If I could add audio to a popup, I'd be done right here.)
- Import it into iMovie
- Search Google for an image of the word.
- Save the image to my computer.
- Import the image into iMove.
- Adjust the image to display for the same length of time as the the audio file.
- Export the movie to 540p because iMovie won't go any lower.
- Open Handbrake.
- Yada yada yada, export the video in mobile-friendly 240p with seriously degredated audio to save bandwidth.
- Upload the video to Moodle.
If I could select "audio" as a content item, it would save me a heck of a lot of time. Each page in the textbook has about 30 words. It adds up.
Summary:
I'd like "audio" to be a choice of content when making hotspot popups.

try using course presentation
try using course presentation instead of hotspot
course presentation allow you insert audio as a button which is very cool feature
you can also activate Active Surface Mode which Removes navigation controls so that course presentation could look like interactive image

@richpav just what Mohammed said Course Presentation can help a lot with what you are doing. This content also combines several other contents that you will find useful.

course presentation and hotspot
I mostly use course presentation due to its hability to add audio and other content types.
However, I think its important to eventually have the hotspot integrated as simple click an image interactions are impossible.
Right now, I drag and drop images that I would normally like people to simply be able to click on to select.
