How to add a voiceover?

I'm creating a picture book and I want to add a voiceover.
I don't want to use an automatic iBooks voice that reads the text -- I want to use a voiceover artist, so I'll be adding a recording to the book. Each page will have its snippet of voiceover.
Can I do this with iBooks Author?
-- Can I add a voiceover so each page has its associated voiceover snippet?
-- How do I add a sound file? I don't see a menu command for this.
-- What type of file do I need to use for the sound file?
Thanks.

pdaddy, the book you refer to was created with ePub rather than with iBooks Author. The telling part is in the left hand column about requirements for the book: "Requirements:This book requires iBooks 1.3 or later and iOS 4.2 or later. Books can only be viewed using iBooks on an iPad, iPhone (3G or later), or iPod touch (2nd generation or later)."
If the book is created with iBooks Author it requires iBooks 2.0 or later.
The book that you refer to and its voiceover capabilities are part of the ePub fixed layout capabilities since iBooks 1.2. iBooks Author creates a different file format (.ibooks) than fixed layout ePub (.ePub) which require different tools to create.
For more information on how to create fixed layout ePub books for use with the iBooks App (inclusive of read aloud features) you can see some links and tips from Jake Russel here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18468382

  • How to add a library (libSomeRandomlib.so) to a project....??

    Ok, so I've been trying to get CERN's ROOT program/libraries to work in an xcode project for a while, but I'm running into one really weird error, and I think I may just not know how to add a library to a project correctly.
    Suppose I create a new Xcode C++ command line tool project. I hit Build and go, and it gives me a nice little Hello World! in the console, just as it should. If I then click on the project in Groups & Files, go to Project>Add to Project..., and choose, say, libCint.so, from my root/lib directory, and click ok, then click Build & Go, I get an error in the console:
    dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libCint.so
    Referenced from: /Users/paulthompson/Documents/Programming/Build Products/Debug/LibraryIncludeTest
    Reason: image not found
    sharedlibrary apply-load-rules all
    Data Formatters temporarily unavailable, will re-try after a 'continue'. (Cannot call into the loader at present, it is locked.)
    My assumption is that either I'm missing a step in the process of adding a library, or else there is something jacked up with the libraries themselves. Anyone have any advice?
    Thanks,
    Paul
    EDIT* Oh, I should mention that the actuall binary that gets built after adding the library WILL execute properly in the Finder, or from terminal, just not with the Build & Go, or Go commands from within xcode.

    So, since I don't want to deploy with the environment variable set, I should ask, what IS the correct, MacOS X way to do it?
    The best way to find that is to look at how Apple does it. They put frameworks in /System/Library/Frameworks and regular shared libraries in the standard places. You can do the same. Put your frameworks into /Library/Frameworks and your shared libraries into /usr/local-based paths.
    If you want to create stand-alone executables that can be installed via drag-n-drop, you can put shared libraries inside the application bundle. If your shared libraries/frameworks are elsewhere, you will need some sort of installer to get them installed.
    I've been sifting through Apple's developer documentation but I have yet to find a concise, straightforward explanation of how to add shared libraries. I'm horribly confused at this point. Is there a good tutorial available anywhere for both the general unix case of linking to dylibs and .so's, and the Mac specific case?
    Hopefully someone else knows an answer for this one.
    *EDIT* I do already have the variable defined both in ~/.MacOS/environment.plist and also in Xcode as an additional user variable.
    I'm not sure about the whole RPATH thing. Setting environment.plist will define environment variables for use in the Finder, but that is really a hack. There are better ways to do it, but if you are porting some open-source programs, that may be the only way. You should be able to define those variables in Xcode. You have to selected the debug executable under "Exectuables"

  • How to add A single row at the middle of the table in a Webi report

    Hi,
         I created a Webi report using Universe(Created universe using bex query).Now i have a requirement to display a row at the middle of a report. Can you please tell me ,how to add a sigle row at the middle of a Webi report.
                                                    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Monika

    Hi Monika,
    It is not really possible to add a row (I assume you mean of unrelated data) to the middle of a table in a report. You can add a new table with a single row between two tables. For instance you could add a new one row table, or even single cells which are positioned relatively between two tables. Possibly a block on top of another. But this gets tricky.
    Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do?
    Thanks

    The problem is when i login my .NET infoview works fine but my Java infoview doesn't.
    I found the error that the CCM doesn't have Tomcat Apache Server.
    So my guess is thats the reason why the java infoview is not working.

  • How to add description of a column of a table in SQL Azure

    Hi
    I have some tables in my application database where there are descriptions added against certain columns. Needless to say they were done by using sp_addextendedproperty.
    Now I am trying to migrate the Database to SQL Azure. SQL Azure does not support sp_addextendedproperty.
    Hence I am not able to figure out how to add descriptions to those columns.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Just as Latheesh post above, Windows Azure SQL database are not support extended stored procedures. That’s one of the limitations on SQL database, and I don’t know there is another way to achieve the same on Azure.

  • On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

    On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on?  Thank you.  Ed

    Welcome to the Apple family!!!! 
    How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
    Press Control-Option and F5.   The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over.  This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
    How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
    How to read a website with VoiceOver
    Step 1:  Go to the Website
    A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L.  This will jump you up to the address bar.  Start typing where you want to go.  i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
    Step 2:  Working with Webpage
    VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website.  You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'. 
    If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it.  If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
    Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website.  This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
    Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'.  You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
    If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I 
    Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
    Step 3.  Reading from Top to Bottom
    Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title. 
    After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on. 
    Note:  If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too. 
    Tip:  You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'.  The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads  The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R.  You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'. 
    I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
    You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar.  To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M. 
    Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.  This will open up another window.  Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'.  If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

    The  'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H.  (hit H twice)  is my best friend.  It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command.  Example:  You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command.   Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph.  It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph.  I believe there are three.   
    As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures
    VoiceOver standard gestures
    If you’re using a Multi-Touch trackpad, you can use VoiceOver gestures. VoiceOver provides a set of standard gestures for navigating and interacting with items on the screen. You can’t modify this set of gestures.
    NOTE:Gestures that don’t mention a specific number of fingers are single-finger gestures.
    General
    Enable the Trackpad Commander and VoiceOver gestures
    VO-Two-finger rotate clockwise
    Disable the Trackpad Commander and VoiceOver gestures
    VO-Two-finger rotate counterclockwise
    Turn the screen curtain on or off
    Three-finger triple-tap
    Mute or unmute VoiceOver
    Three-finger double-tap
    Navigation
    Force the VoiceOver cursor into a horizontal or vertical line when you drag a finger across the trackpad
    Hold down the Shift key and drag a finger horizontally or vertically
    Move the VoiceOver cursor to the next item
    Flick right
    Move the VoiceOver cursor to the previous item
    Flick left
    Move content or the scroll bar (depending on the Trackpad Commander setting)
    Three-finger flick in any direction
    Go to the Dock
    This gesture moves the VoiceOver cursor to the Dock wherever it’s positioned on the screen
    Two-finger double-tap near the bottom of the trackpad
    Go to the menu bar
    Two-finger double-tap near the top of the trackpad
    Open the Application Chooser
    Two-finger double-tap on the left side of the trackpad
    Open the Window Chooser
    Two-finger double-tap on the right side of the trackpad
    Jump to another area of the current application
    Press Control while touching a finger on the trackpad
    Interaction
    Speak the item in the VoiceOver cursor or, if there isn’t an item, play a sound effect to indicate a blank area
    Touch (includes tap or dragging)
    Select an item
    Double-tap anywhere on the trackpad
    You can also split-tap (touch one finger and then tap with a second finger on the trackpad)
    Start interacting with the item in the VoiceOver cursor
    Two-finger flick right
    Stop interacting with the item in the VoiceOver cursor
    Two-finger flick left
    Scroll one page up or down
    Three-finger flick up or down
    Escape (close a menu without making a selection)
    Two-finger scrub back and forth
    Increase or decrease the value of a slider, splitter, stepper, or other control
    Flick up (increase) or flick down (decrease)
    Text
    Read the current page, starting at the top
    Two-finger flick up
    Read from the VoiceOver cursor to the end of the current page
    Two-finger flick down
    Pause or resume speaking
    Two-finger tap
    Describe what’s in the VoiceOver cursor
    Three-finger tap
    Change how VoiceOver reads text (by word, line, sentence, or paragraph)
    Press the Command key while touching a finger on the trackpad
    Rotor
    Change the rotor settings
    Two-finger rotate
    Move to the previous item based on the rotor setting
    Flick up
    Move to the next item based on the rotor setting
    Flick down
    To customize other gestures by assigning VoiceOver commands to them, use the Trackpad Commander.
    Assigning VoiceOver commands to gestures
    If you need a reminder about what a gesture does, press VO-K to start keyboard help, and then use the gesture on the trackpad and listen to the description.

  • How to add more fields at level task for importing to MsProject

    Hi everyone,
    We would like to have the same number of fields either for importing as exporting; or at least, the fields that we need.
    The problem is when we are configurating the fields for exporting from cProjects to MsProject, we found 81 available fields and then we don't find the same amount for importing (34). So, in some cases we don't find fields which were configurated for exporting and it is no posible to upload the information back because the field is no available for importing.
    Does anyone knows how to add more fields for importing at the cProjects side?
    Thanks a lot,
    CAMILO URIBE

    Some fields can not be migrated because of MsProject designe. The above is the reason why cProjects' customizing does not offer the
    mapping of the same nuember of fields.

  • How to add more drop zones or movies in an idvd menu

    I was building a dvd in idvd and ran out of drop zones to fill but I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones.
    I tried different templates but I could find none that had more than 12 drop zones.
    Then I was adding movies to the main menu and idvd refused to allow more movies added when I reached 10 movies. It said that the template did not accept more movies.
    I tried a few other templates and could not get it to accept more.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    Is there some way to add more than the default drop zones in an idvd template and to add more movies in a menu without having to use submenus?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones
    Sorry, the templates 'are what they are'.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    You need to figure out how to work with what is available.

  • How to add a gradient or 50% transparent fill to an .ai imported path?

    Hello All;
    I need some help. My task sounds simple enough but not sure how to accomplish it.
    I created the following path in Illustrator (See attached illustration - the top one). This is actually for a lower-third graphic.
    I have been successful at importating that into .ai. Though should I be using a solid or a shape layer or doesn't it matter ?
    I can add a stroke which affects the color and thickness of the outlines OK.
    However, I can't figure out how to add either a gradient fill or one that is 50% transparent ? Can anyone help ?
    Oh ... I'll mention I'm using After Effects CS3.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    Rick;
    I've used Illustrator for quite a while both at home and at work but I really havn't had to do anything that complex yet. Same goes for Photoshop. I bought DVD tutorials for most of the productivity software I use and when you gave your first explanation, I watched the DVD tutorial on Importing into AE so I know what you're referring to when you say to import as composition. So far, I've only tried to import into AE by copying and pasting. I think that's why I just got the path and not the background. I'll try importing a composition shortly and see if I get the fill too. I actually found a tutorial on making the type of shape I need to in Photoshop so maybe I'll try that instead of Illustrator and then import that into AE.
    Btw - It may not actually be a gradient fill I need to use but instead a solid fill with the top half lighter and buttom half darker.
    In case you're interested, here's actually what I'm trying to create for a video project. I could actually buy the animation for $8 but I figured that this can't be that difficult and I need to learn this stuff anyway ... http://videohive.net/item/lower-third-15-different-colour-schemes/145337?WT.ac=category_th umb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=berol

    Hi,
    I'm creating xml report for Apps standard Trial Balance Summary, here i cant able to run the .rdf locally due to SRW.UserExit .

    Please tell me how to solve this problem.
    Is possible to add fields manually means tell me how to do that.

    If those fields are input parameters to the concurrent program then you can display them in RTF by declaring and printing it as

    and display it as <?$P_CONC_PARAM?> - Note P_CONC_PARAM should match your parameter token
