Re: Speech on ios and android
Thanks for the heads up on this one , totally missed it . Am going to try this on a language training app i’m working on pronto when back from the road.Will let you know if i can get it working on mac Klaus.

Rather urgent question about iOS player : How to shut one up?
Hi, doing an app for a group of schools in Belgium for refugee kids. I need to be able to show 4 small movies without sound. The movies HAVE sound that is needed for learning earlier on. Using copies without sound track would be possible but cumbersome and duplicative. I have tried a test stack and searched the dictionary, databases and forums but there is no mention of mobileControlSet “videoControl1", "Soundlevel", 0 or mobileControlSet “videoControl1”, "volume", 0 or something similar. ( odd actually…) So I went and tried if videocontrol ID’s would be recognised by mobileSetSoundChannelVolume "VideoControl1", 0 but that does not work in various formats either ( with Id instead of name etc ) So no linkage to MobileSoundChannels as far as I can tell. ( But would gladly be told otherwise ;-) Even the application wide old settings do not shut up a mobile player “set the Beeploudness to 0” or “set the PlayLoudness to 0” => Don’t silence a mobile player A search on the net and in the archives of “ Setting sound level / Volume / Loudness of a mobile player” did not turn anything up. Hope this is possible or we’ll have to go the difficult way. Thanks for any info.

Lack of Mobile Player callbacks and subtitles problem
Hi all. Anybody been able to get time-locked subtitles for mobile video players that worked in the post-QT era ? My searches have not produced anything. Since there are no callbacks from “MobileCreateControl Player” anymore to kick subtitles in a field from a list at a given time ( like the only available old example on the LC site) , I have tried cumbersome double timers. Simple tracking is then ok, but starting stopping, continuing a movie is way too imprecise and introduces unforeseen results. Anybody come up with a solution ? Anybody up for doing an AV Foundation widget for this (Paid work) ? It’s for a project to teach refugee children if that motivates anybody at all ;-) Greetz from Berlin.

We ended up using Microsoft Speech recognition with an External by Tuviah Snyder. On the the mac front we used the speech recognition ( then in Supercard) to see if any of the words reconized was in the restricted recognition target dictionary. Worked fine. However : If you are looking at precise comparisons of two phrases in the realm of : “ Flying aunts can be dangerous” “ Flying ants can be dangerous” then you need word-per-word FFT analysis and the closest I have come were the libraries to plot AIF files by Mark Smith, may he rest in peace. Stephen Barncard was so friendly to relay them to me in 2016. Then funding stopped and I had to pursuit other things. But I would be very interested in solving this as well, because it is a major asset when dealing with languages.( I’m an old linguist ;-) I believe Stephen would not mind the stacks being out there. I just can’t gauge if they would be any help in your endeavour.

Re: Release 9.0.0 DP7 / SVG / The book of the film of the poem/ Alejandro solved it.
Hi Alejandro, sorry for the delayed answer. Busy times. I tried to write a script to adapt some of the SVG files at hand according to your instructions but that got me into a lot of offset problems and the widget ran into a lot of “exceeds boundary “ or something similar in rendering. I have written “translation scripts” for 30 years now but this one is a bit fickle. But for the sake of letting everybody know : the solution of SVG rendering strokes combined with RGB fills of Alejandro below works. I must admit that it helped that he had already pinpointed the RGB ones with a stroke ( sound like a disease doesn’t it). Duplicating the lines manually and replacing with “fill:none” did the trick : The SVG then renders exactly as in Illustrator and in Affinity Designer. Picture : https://www.dropbox.com/s/79beopxkyy63sqw/PUPPET%20SSVG%20with%20Alejandros%20changes.png?dl=0 As it stands I will still have to figure out a reproducible and reliable way of finding an duplicating in the SVG-text or maybe one of the authors of the widget has an idea on how to bypass this/implement it in the LCB code.

Thanks Mark, I uploaded the SVG text exactly as I copied it out of the file and a text file AND the Affinity designer file. Hope this gives some insight .

Re: Release 9.0.0 DP7 / SVG / The book of the film
Hello all, I took Mark’s and Peter’s advice and tried Affinity Designer and recompiled for DP7. Color SVG widget works again. That is cool! And indeed the SGV churned out by Affinity works in the widget immediately . With a few problems remaining that I hope to be able to pin point with maybe some help. I tried exporting via all four presets ( export, print,web etc) in either grouped or non-grouped fashion. The code still fails to produce a lot of strokes but not all ( which is strange) If you will, please take a look at the picture (DROPBOX LINK below).The left is the SVG created by AFdesigner from an AI file and then previewed in Finder, the right is what the widget makes of that SVG code when pasted into the widget. Anybody any idea how I can get those strokes showing? Or rather : Why are some showing and other not? Progress! But still not quite there yet. Picture link of screenshot : https://www.dropbox.com/s/b867mchlhyoornz/SVG.af-SVG-LC.png?dl=0 I have to get on with this and can’t just wait until in August Mark will do his SVG stuff in Livecode Global. And yes, the puppet has a massive load of clothes and personalities. They are from an app that WAS on the App Store for two years but needs to be updated to 64 bit, small executable, for all screen sizes , easily draggable and resizable ….etc etc …thousands of SVG’s ….

Re: Re : Release 9.0.0 DP7 / SVG
Thanks Mark, I did not know that we had to recompile every single dp.I had recompiled with dp6… I will hear in hindsight what you can tell us about SVG implementation in August since I’ll be temporarily leading a small development team at a different company and have no time to spare for the LiveCode Global sessions. Hope it will involve complex SVG paths, colours, strokes and joins. Maybe even a hint of animation? Good luck to the team with the DP’s and of course with the Global Sessions.

Re : Release 9.0.0 DP7
Hi, am I correct in seeing no progress on the COLOUR SVG front? Even worse : Now even Peter Thirkels widget has to be uninstalled. I was under the impression that implementation or at least clear definition was imminent? Maybe I’m missing something? When will the format for colour SVG requirements ( svg-code style etc) be fixed so that widget designers can invest time? best from Berlin Frans Frans Schoffelen Knowlegistics Software & Sound ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
