Extra long lag with voice-over test questions

Hello,
I have recently been using voice over on my courses and the test for learners who may not be able to read. I have noticed when I use audio on a test question and choose the correct answer and click "submit" there is a long lag on the slide after clicking. It could be anywhere from 5-25 seconds of a lag between questions. I am at a loss on this and it only happens when I use audio.

Hi Ryan,
Maybe you are not aware of the fact that a question slide has a pausing point that is set by default at 1.5 secs. Look at the timeline: you'll see the pausing point as a vertical bar (not very visible on the blue timeline).
The two-step process for submitting is happening at that pausing point. After the second step (Press Y or...) the playhead will Continue if you keep the default actions for Success and After Last Attempt, which will mean that you'll have to wait till it reaches the end of the slide. Due to your VO the slide will have increased much in duration, original duration was 3 secs, which meant a waiting time of 1.5 secs after the pause. Now you'll have a much longer waiting time.
Two possible solutions:
Drag the pausing point more towards the end of the question slide (there is no other way than dragging)
Change the actions for Success and After Last Attempt to 'Go to Next Slide'. However sometimes this can cause an issue... depending on the deployment

I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

Can you explain this better, there appears to be a strange work flow going on, have you imported PowerPoint into Keynote or you are trying to export to PowerPoint?
There are many users who have trouble with a recorded voice over going to Quicktime.
Try this repair, its sorted out many similar problems in the past.
Complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and           click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Problem with voicer over on IMAC

hello , I have some troubles with Voice over on my IMAC. I am blind and this function is really important for me. I use it for many applications, but my bank had currently changed the graphic of the website, voice over fails to interact with images and so i could not do operations. someone can help me?

I am having problems with my Intel iMac's Firewire 800 as well. I have two WD drives daisychained on the 800 port. After 6 months with no problems, and a few weeks after updating to Snow Leopard the second drive intermittently stopped mounting after sleep. The devices attached to the 400 port were OK. It got worse over a few weeks, and after over an hour on the phone to Apple support and multiple tests (eg linking two computers using target mode), the tech said it was an 800 port hardware problem. My iMac is just back from having the logic board replaced (200 km round trip!!), and it has happened again - the second drive "was not ejected properly" after waking from sleep and has not mounted. WD refuse to support daisychained devices, though I don't think the drives are faulty because I can get them to mount using USB. So, you could have a hardware problem, but it may be a Snow Leopard compatibility problem if you have recently updated - other discussion topics have reported similar problems with firewire drives after updating to Snow Leopard.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

Hello promomap,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over. Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
Managing accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

Virtualization software with voice over

Hello
I need to use Windows and Linux in my macBook.
I use VMware in Windows and VirtualBox in Linux.
I know we can use Parallelx, VMware fusion and virtualbox.
does anybody know which virtualization software for Leopard is accessible with Voice over?
thanks

To my knowledge, there aren't any emulators that work directly with voiceover. It's certainly possible for such a system to work, but it'd be a bit of a task to implement. At the moment though, vm fusion works well if you're interested in running dos/windows/linux, with the caveat that once the target os is loaded, you need to load a screen reader specifically for that os. I.E. windows xp requires jaws or equivalent screen reader. I've been trying to port dosemu to osx, but the tools to do just aren't present on osx, I.E. proper versions of gcc/header libraries and so on), so as of now, dosemu isn't an option, and nobody else seems to be working on it, because of all the commercial alternatives (paralels, vm fusion), and the free ones (dosbox, and so forth) Unfortunately for us, none of these options allow vo to act as a screen reader for the simulated oses, because none of them take vo into account with their design. So, the short of it is: if you want to run paralels or vm fusion, you'll need both a copy of the host os (windows xp, redhat linux, etc.) and you'll also need a screen reader for each os you're virtualizing (jaws, yasr, etc.) Hope this helps.

Verizon router MI424WR conflict with voice over IP

I was recently as of Jan 6, 2009 set up with FIOS. In my network of computers and printers I also have a linksys T-mobile router with voice over IP (voIP). Very shortly after installing FIOS all was well until just recently (about 1 week ago) I started to experience a problem with the voIP. I get a dial tone and can call out however I can not hear the party's phone ringing and can not hear them talking. They can hear me talk.
I have the original firmware on the Linksys router. I was told that Verizon has done a firmware upgrade but can not give me the previous firmware.
Are there any suggestions for me to help getting my phone working?

Well, I have never come across this issue before, but it sounds like a quality of service issue and not really a port issue of any sort so I doubt opening any type of port will fix anything. If your ONT allows it, try bypassing our router with the linksys and see if the problem is fixed. Just want to verify it is the actiontech router causing the issue...

Help with voice-over on Ipod nano

I'm totally blind and am using the 60g Ipod Nano with voice-over inabled. I am finding though even though the voice speaks the names of the menus, ie music, albums etc it doesn't speak the names of my albums or songs or tracks. What have I done wrong? I've tried connecting and leaving it to see if any voice tags are made, but nothing has happened. Any help would be welcome, it's driving me mad Many thanks from Lori.

Try resetting your iPod.
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Since you are totally blind, perhaps some one can double check your voice over settings to make sure everything is updated.

Screen locked with voice over and zero value

My ipad screen is locked with voice over and every time I put in my pass code it just repeats and says zero value. How do I get into my ipad without having to loose all my data. Have icloud backup but not sure if that is working properly.Frustrated!

Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off'. You need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling e.g. to type a digit of your passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it, and then double-tap the digit to type it.
Or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : select the iPad in iTunes, select its Summary tab, scroll to the bottom of that and click the 'configure accessibility' button :
And on the popup select 'none' for the 'seeing' option :
Clicking 'ok' should turn it 'off' on your iPad

6th generation with voice over turned off, still plays random song names and lists 45 min into a run

Sweat is getting into your buttons and causing spoken menus to come on. Run with your ipod placed somewhere that gets less exposed to your sweat.

Can I create Ebooks with voice over and page transition with Creative Cloud? Which product?

I have created little kids e-booklets with voice over in Powerpoint that I'd like to sell online. What I am missing is the slide transition effect on mobile and pads.
Powerpoint only allows this function in a presentation/show format, but this doesn't work when I download the booklets on my phone. Does Adobe Creative Cloud offer this feature for my ebooks?
Best regards,
Ingrid Heyerdahl

Hi Tommy,
Yes, you can create a site in Muse and publish it to business catalyst. It will be in trial mode and your client will be able to view the site over the web.

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.

Help with Voice-over recording - Strange tunnel/underwater effect

Hi there!
To start off, I am a beginner with audio equipment and recording, and very new to Audition. I recently did a voiceover recording in a studio setting, and was helped by an "audio engineer" -- although now I'm wondering if that's true -- because the WAV file we were provided is VERY noticeably off. It sounds like a tunnel, or underwater.
I'm not sure if this file is too far-gone to be able to fix with proper mixing-- I'm posting this in hopes that there is a simple fix, but I realize that this could need to be re-recorded. So any advice is MUCH appreciated.
Here is a clip of the Voice-over: Clip.wav - Google Drive
Thanks in advance!

Hey, J.
It sounds like the two channels of audio in your WAV file have been merged to mono. That's no always a bad thing, but in this case, they are no longer in-phase, so there is some interaction between the two channels. Can you send me the original file via dropbox or google drive to [email protected] for analysis? If the two channels of this stereo .wav are isolated, then you can save this recording by splitting them apart...which I can help you with inside the software.
Cheers,
-ChrisS
