I tried the stack, but it would _not_ do anything. *Here are the particulars of my equipment: PowerBook Stats: PB 1400c, 133mhz, 48mb with 128mb CF card as VRAM, 1.2g internal HD, optional monitor port, Global Village fax/modem PC card, OS 8.6 *Here are my _first_ findings: 1) You'll notice I'm _not_ using OS X. I don't know if that affects the stack operation or not. 2) I opened it in Rev and got an immediate error. It hates _set the recordinput to "imic"_ (copied and pasted directly from the script). Are you sure about the syntax? The stack quits functioning right there on my equipment, which is why nothing happens when I click the "Record" button. 3) I listened to the recording. It's very rough, lots of noise, like static, the voice sounded echo-ish. All I got was "five..six...five" (no "one..two..three..four"). What did you actually record (the whole thing from beginning to end) in this recording? It sounds like it plays only parts of it that it recognizes, then starts over looking for more sound, until the time runs out. At this point, I would recommend finding out: 1) Why the script error? May have something to do with my not using OS X. I will try it on my other Mac G4 using OS 9 later. 2) Try improving the recording quality. I think there is a good chance the quality is so poor that QT may be having a problem figuring what is recorded sound in this format, and is searching for something it recognizes, which may have something to do with the automatic volume delimiter when you recorded. Use a higher quality sound input device. 3) Try another sound format, like .wav. 4) Try another machine, in case the recording mic and automatic volume delimiter are having problems. The automatic volume delimiter is a device inside that automatically clips recording volume so something too loud doesn't damage equipment, but it also turns itself up if it can't 'hear' well enough, thus picking up all kinds of noise. That's all I can come up with so far, and I'm out of time to work on it today.
