Can I use a sound file on Pages?

I want to create a picture book for kids to run on iPad and Iphone -- it will have a voiceover -- so the user can turn the voice on or off.
Would Pages be a suitable program for this?
Can I put a sound file in a Pages doc for this purpose?

You can drag in any media into Pages, but be aware that it is only accessible in the .pages document itself.
Why not have a look at iBook Author which is based on Pages and much more suitable for what you want?

  • How can I use a sound file on one slide, which fades to another sound file on the next?

    I am trying to make a slide show that begins with a certain sound file, which then I hope to fade out to the second slide which uses a different sound file, I've followed Apple's online tutorials, but what happens is I get two sound files playing simultaneously. Also, I'd like to add sounds files to different individual slides throughout the presentation, which I want to play independently from the entire slide show's sound track. I have programmed the slides to change automatically. Is there any way I can have multiple sound files on multiple slides all playing independently, without playing over the top of the previous sound file? I imagine this is a simply task, so my apologies if this is the case. Thanks in advance for any help!
    kind regards,

    Getting sound to work right in Keynote requires a basic understanding that:
    1. Sound played during slide transitions (from one slide to the next) must be placed in the Document Inspector > Audio > Soundtrack Well - there can only be one audio file and it plays across all slides
    2. Additional sounds files can be placed on individual slides as sound objects - each object can have build-in and build-out assignments, but sound files need at least a Build-In > Start Audio (done in the Build Inspector) - each object, wether a shape, image, sound or movie can have discrete start timing such that the start of one sound object can be delayed X seconds after the previous event. This can be used to avoid overlapping starts or playing. If you know the length of each sound file object, you can adjust the start to occur after the end of a previous sound using the Build Inspector. Click on the More Options Button to display the event build-order list and click on the event to reveal how the build starts and add any delays to start there.
    3. Keynote does not have a Fade Feature - any fade-in or fade-out (sound up/sound down) of audio files must be done to the sound file using third party applications and then brought into Keynote. If you'd like to join the crowd wishing Apple might add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback to Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    4. If you need an audio file to play across a few slides and another audio file to play across another few slides, break the presentation into seperate documents, place the audio in the soundtrack well for each document and then add a hyperlink object to connect to the next Keynote document in the series. Note: all files must be "opened" in the background and ready to play or else the next file will attempt to start but stall just when you don't need it to.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I use a word file without pages changing the file

  • Can i use purchased sound effects off iTunes in an iOS app? - copyright issue

    basically I'm making an iOS app, and i need a sound effect that i purchased off the iTunes store, aka from some company. Can i use this sound effect in my app without being sued a lot of money? If i payed for the file i should be okay correct?

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.

  • Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpegs?

    Using Preview, I export multiple page PDF as jpeg and results are the first page only as jpeg. Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

    Automator is great for this if you need to export many pages to JPG, or just have to do this often.
    Two other quick and dirty way sto get it done:
    (1) Enable thumbnail view, click on the ONE PAGE you want to convert to jpg, then choose "export." If you choose more than one page, only the first will get exported to jpg.
    (2) Create a copy of the file, delete all the pages except the one you want to export to JPG, and export that page. You may be able to "undo" the delete, get all your pages back again, and re-delete all but the one you want to export, etc. I would not recommend doing this on the original version of the file because of Preview's autosave so-called "feature."

  • Is it right to use the "sound file write simple.vi"?

    I had a problem to use the Sound File Write Simple.vi  that is it can not save the data.
    The links are shown in the following picture.
    I wonder is it right for me to use that vi like that shown in the picture?
    And why I can not save file as *.wav while I can save it as a *.txt?
    Thank you!

    No command lines do not work inside stored procedures.
    Firstly, remember that the stored procedure is running on the database server so any files it can access have to be on the server itself.
    ZIP is an operating system command, so you would have to have some java code or some other means of shelling out to the operating system to execute it, an area which I'm not to familiar with doing myself as I've never found a need to.
    Have you looked at Oracles own UTL_COMPRESS package?

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • When i try to access iwork on iCloud on my mac, i get an ipage logo with 2 options learn/get image. I already have ipage on my mac. How can i get to the file  management page?

    Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
    Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

  • How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

    How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

    In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app.   Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

  • Can I Use a XML file as Managed Resource?

    Hi,
    I have a XML file which has all employee details.
    Can I use that XML file as a Resource in IDM?
    If so please let me know the steps to do.
    Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks
    RMS

    No.
    Since the XML file you have has custom tags, there is not a way for IDM to understand it's contents.
    IDM does offer a "Simulated" resource, which is an XML based resource, but it has a defined structure. You might be able to alter your XML to match what the Simulated Resource expects, or better yet, get it into a database and use the database table adapter.

  • Can I use my Elements8 files with Elements11?

    Can I Use my elements8 files with elements 11?

    When you install PSE 11 it will convert your PSE 8 catalogue to PSE 11. Your PSE 8 catalogue will still be available to use with PSE 8. Once you have a PSE 11 catalogue allyour pictures will be pointed to by that catalogue and available. I think this answers your question, if not post back.

  • I can't import certain sound files.

    For some reason with flash cs6 I can't import specific sound files. There is nothing different from them and other files that do work. It says "couldn't import (file)" and "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" Please help, my deadline is in a few days!

    What is the file format of these problematic sounds? It may be that these sound files are set to an unusual sampling or data rate. If the files are in mp3 format, try changing the bit rate mode to constant, if it is not that already. Also look at the data rate of the file. Make sure that it is a "normal" rate like 44100, 32000, or 22050 Hz.

    No. Pages does not edit PDF. Just does PDF an output.
