Re: [Flashcoders] Text to MP3
Hello there, I believe the easiest way to do text to mp3 conversion is by calling, from the Unix shell the following applications: a) text2wave, which converts text to .wav files b) lame, which can be used to convert .wav files to .mp3 files Hope this helps, .L. - Original Message - From: Ryan Burrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Text to MP3 You might trying doing more research into Natural Voices and other text-to-speech setups.

The hard part of that is definitely the server-side conversion from text to mp3. I don't think you'll find many people on this list who know how to do that though, because it's not really something that flash does.

Ideally some company would run a service with a REST interface, so I could just send my text via a querystring, and it would send back some XML detailing the URL of the mp3, and maybe an indication of when the mp3 might be converted... well that's what i'd like ideally... I guess the other possibility is finding some component to install on my own server, but this might not be possible... any ideas anyone?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?
- thanks so much for all the feedback provided! I believe now I've collected all (or most) of the pieces that I needed for my little system! As for the sorenson format issue, I believe ffmpeg can take care of that...

First, look at RED5 - http://osflash.org/red5 You'd have to record to FLV and then run a second program to parse out the audio, but it could be done. Second, the blog entry I was thinking of is http://www.flashcodersbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9 it might contain useful code if you wanted to try and convert the audio inside of flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?
Dear John, Thanks so much for your message! As you said, ffmpeg is a command line solution. Is there any way to generate a .flv file programmatically with an embedded Sound object in it?

More specifically, I wonder if anyone could send me suggestions on: a) How to convert a Sound object to MP3 programatically? You need an MP3 encoding library. If you want a command line solution that you may be able to hack to work in a server environment, I'd look into ffmpeg. b) How to convert the resulting MP3 into a base64 string PHP has a base64 library. Look there for starters. I believe you can pass it an argument to encode a file (which would be the mp3 file on your server). To encode the MP3 into a base64 string dynamically is going to kill your server CPU. You're better off running a chron job on your server to execute PHP code to encode the file when placed in a certain directory. If the base64 version is already encoded, don't do anything, just send the stored encoded version. c) How to send the base64 string to my server via XML-RPC I don't know if XML-RPC is not going to handle that amount of data very effectively. The base64 encoded version of the MP3 file will be huge. BTW, shall I use AS2 or AS3 for this? I don't know if it will matter. Once you have the base64 encoded string in Flash, what do you plan to do with it? I don't see how you'll be able to attach it to a sound object. I never tried this though, so the sound object should be able to take the raw mp3 data and use it, but who know? This whole process may be best done with a socket connection with AS3 and using binary data to send the result directly to a sound object. good luck. jon ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
