Re: Is the timed recording accessible in Sound Forge?

2011-09-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
Sorry, should have explained myself in more details.

Yep! I mean that Sound Forge is known for its unreliability when it comes to 
audio recording and it is suggested that you "optimise" the software for 
recording, this isn't straight forward however and I've had times when - even 
after optimisation is completed as detailed in the help files - I still get 
gaps in Recordings, its also known that Sound Forge has a huge overhead which 
probably explains the recording problems.

On the other hand Total recorder does what it says and does it well! when it 
comes to recording and usually no defaults need to be altered.

Re: Is the timed recording accessible in Sound Forge?

2011-09-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
Only me I'm sure!  but I've found the Sound Forge record dialogue 
box to be a bit of a joke as far as accessibility is concerned 
particularly when it comes to advanced features such as timer recording.


I have a word I've always lived by and that is the word "Convenience", 
it was more convenient for me to purchase Total Recorder as I know this 
software to be accessible, the standard version will do what you want 
and only costs $11.00 from memory, not only that but its a far more 
reliable recorder than Sound Forge has ever been.

Re: recording sound without the screen reader coming through?

2011-09-21 Thread Steve Jacobson
Dave,

One would have to know more about your wireless headset to be able to know what 
is happening.  If the transmitter just plugs into your headphone jack, 
you are using the same sound card with a different configuration that may or 
may not separate the streams.  If it is a USB wireless headset, it may have a 
separate sound card, but it may by default be trying to route everything to the 
headset, since it is designed to simulate headphones.  There could be some 
options buried somewhere that can control what happens when you use them, but 
I'm guessing the problem wouldn't be any different with JFW or other 
screen reader.  What happens when you use the headphones and do not change 
anything, what do you hear?  What happens if you use headphones, 
and if you hear everything, and you were to switch Window-Eyes back to your 
original sound card?  I am thinking that your headphones are pulling all 
sound to them and that you changing Window-Eyes to headphones may not be doing 
anything.  A lot depends, though, on how your wireless headphones 
connect and what they do.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hi Steve,

I'm with you on the apple thing. Shrugs, drm, to hell with it I say.

Here's the strange thing about switching soundcards with window-eyes. 
When I switched the card from my internal one to my wireless headset and 
had configured goldwave, or maybe it was total recorder, to record with 
the internal one, I still got window-eyes coming through as if it had 
never been switched over to that wireless headset. I can try again, but 
I'm 99 percent sure I did it right.

Hi all



I know there are several programs that would allow you to turn text
files into audio files in mp3 format using the  sapi voices on the

computer.


However, I find the very odd phrasing of especially the realspeak
voices a bit difficult to understand.



Hence my question:  Has anyone ever written such a programme which
turns text files into audio files using the Eloquence speech
synthesizer?  That would also mean if you e.g. like the british
voice, it then uses the british voice as it is already installed on
your

computer?


Just curious.

Problem using ITunes.

2011-09-21 Thread carliss
Listers,

iTunes keeps moving to the taskbar and  when it does I can't get to it.
There's a iTunes buttone on the taskbar, but I can't do anything with it
when I press enter. This happens a lot lately.

Is this happening to anyone else? If so, what have you done about it if
anything? Has iTunes changed its interface?

Thanks for any ideas.

 

Carliss

Re: program to turn text files into audio files but using eloquence

2011-09-21 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

Isn't there a tool in Goldwave that does this? It uses the default SAPI 
speech engine or you can choose from amongst multiple SAPI voices if you 
have multiple voices installed.

The interface was also in Italian if I remember correctly.

But it would still be usuable with a bit of practice.

There used to be a bit of software called biblos I am not sure I have the
spelling correct.

Anyway this software used the eloquence from Jaws,  it will not use any
other voices on your computer just jaws I used to use this but no longer use
it.  it did work well Google it and you might still get it.

If you install the trial version of k1000 (kurzweil reader) you get
eloquence. If you then use balabolka you can convert text to a .mp3
with the jaws Reid voice. I do not know about the UK english Reid voice.

Hi all



I know there are several programs that would allow you to turn text
files into audio files in mp3 format using the  sapi voices on the

computer.



However, I find the very odd phrasing of especially the realspeak
voices a bit difficult to understand.



Hence my question:  Has anyone ever written such a programme which
turns text files into audio files using the Eloquence speech
synthesizer?  That would also mean if you e.g. like the british voice,
it then uses the british voice as it is already installed on your

computer?



Just curious.

Re: Loquendo tts.

2011-09-21 Thread tickpub
Hi back; to begin with, their entire site is very unfriendly. I have
contacted them several times and as you thought, they do not seem to sell
to individuals. I also like their voices and have even looked for cracked
copies but no go so far. But they might not be compatable with sappi.
They really do a bad job with their PR! It is an Italian company and
maybe that is the reason...Noodle Brains! I gave up on them about six
months ago. I do get their news letters and have been watching for their
sales to us common folks. If you do find anything out, please post it for
us. 
MMM 

Peace Unto You
