French voice in the iPad

I am learning French and using my iPad to hear texts written in French.
The problem is that the standard voice for pronunciation in French is extremely nasal and unpleasant.
I'd like to know if is it possible to change that voice. A female voice similar to the English one would be great.
Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to turn it off on the iPad by using 'a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process' and 3 fingered scrolling to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn it 'off' (so to use the 'slide to unlock' tap the slider and then double-tap it, and to type your passcode tap a digit and then double-tap it etc), or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • Is there any way to get "voice memo" (the iPhone/ipod touch app) onto our new iPad 3?

    I know there are apps in the app store that will have similar functionality, but I want Apple's original "Voice Memo" app for it's reliability, automatic syncing with iTunes on our other devices, ability to trim easily, and the overall interface.  I'd be willing to pay a purchase price, but I don't see any way of obtaining it... I'm a bit irritated as I thought this would have come standard as it did on my old iPod Touch. (I see it's still standard on iPhone and iPod Touch, too!)

    No Voice Memos app by Apple on the iPad. I downloaded one from the App Store from another developer that is nearly identical.

  • How do I record a voice memo on the iPad? I don't see it under any of the applications or settings.

    I am trying to record a voice memo on my iPad but cannot find the application anywhere. The specs indicate that it should be able to record, but I need help finding it. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    The specs indicate that it can record if you are using the video camera in the camera app. The iPad does not come with a voice recorder app.
    You will need to search the app store for one that suits your need.
    Look here.

  • Do any of the ipad minis have a voice recognition

    Do any of the ipad mini's have voice recognition, dvd players and usb port to hook your own flash drive into?

    iPads do not have USB ports, they are tablets so no optical drives like DVD players. 
    There is a USB accessory to read photos and videos off of flash drives or cameras but it only works one way and it only supports photos and videos. 
    As to voice recognition, it depends on what you want to do.  There are many Apps you can dictate to. For most text input there is direct voice input option in things like Safari, Notes, etc...

  • Does the iPad 3 gen, have a voice recorder?

    Does the iPad 3rd gen with retina display, have a voice recorder?

    Not as a built in app - no it does not. If you need a voice recorder, you will have to download an app from the App Store. An app like Quick Voice Recorder.

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    Get a longer cable?

  • My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?

    My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?  I have a SM58 type mic and-over-the ear headphones.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • Somehow I have the Ipad voice on again. How do I disable it?

    Somehow I have the Ipad voice back. How do I disable it?

    You could 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 > Triple-Click Home.
    Otherwise you can turn it off either directly on the iPad or by connecting to your computer's iTunes - there are instructions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
    If doing directly on the iPad then you need to tap to select a field/box and then double-tap it to then activate/use it, and you need to use 3 fingers to scroll.

  • Is there a solution to configure the Ipad keyboard in BEPO (french Dvorak) ?

    I'm user of BEPO keyboard. It's a french version of the Dvorak keyboard, very useful for people who (like me) use to type a lot and have often tendinitis. There is several thousands of user in the world since 2008 and the number is increasing every day.
    This configuration exist for OSX (with an add-on), for Android too, but I'm unable to find it for Ipad. So bad because I would like to use the mini Ipad with external BEPO keyboard.
    Do you know if there exist an app to configure Ipad in BEPO ?
    Do you know if this keyboard layout will be implemented someday in the Ipad ?
    rds
    O.G.

    Sorry no, not that I know of.

  • I upgraded to the iPad Version of Pages

    I just wanted to add my voice to the already swarming people about my utter disappointment in the "Upgrade" to Pages.
    First of all,  When I saw it was a Free Upgrade, I immediately became suspicious.  Apple only ever gives Free Upgrades or Free products when it knows its not going to go over well. (Bumper Cases), etc.   And it being free, they believe that they can defang the descenters.
    Yet, I still held out hope that it would be an upgrade and ADD enhancements and streamline an already GREAT word processing program.    I Stopped using MS Word years ago, because I liked Pages so much more.   Once I got it installed, i found out, that I had upgraded to the iPad version of Pages.
    Here is this revolutionary device, the iPad.  Following the iPhone as the best new device in the History of Ever.  AND IT WAS!...   What made it GREAT is that in general, it ran REAL software.   Not the nerf'd web browser of similar devices that really never worked.  Steve Jobs made it part of the WOW when he said..  Here is this new Device.    IT RUNS THE SAME SAFARI as on the Mac (same general capabilities).  It Was Awesome.
    Fast forward to now, I have had an iPad since the iPad ONE.   Im an avid user of all apple devices.  When they released Pages for the iPad,  I forked over the $20USD to purchase it thinking HEY, it would be just like using it on the Mac.    Well, it wasnt.  It was a nerf'd version.   But even still that was sorta understandable.  A good word processor for a tablet even as advanced as the iPad, was sure to ge a difficult challenge.     Subtle updates, and such to Pages on iPad helped, but I can honestly say,  Pages for iPad never worked for me as THE PLACE i wanted to go to build complex, full feature documents.
    So Apple in their thinking outside the box manner (which usually turns out good things), goes and "upgrades" the Mac, Full-Featured version of pages to resemble the iPad version which had never been a great word processor to begin with.   What a mighty disappointment.
    I understand that these days, Apple no longer innovates for the sake of innovation, their innovation is driven by the market.   For such a great company, with such a great legacy, it is such a disappointment.
    Sorry Apple, you got this one wrong...!

    When I checked out the on-line help for Pages, it distinctly mentions two types of document layouts:  blank-template-based (like a simple letter) and placeholder-based (like a pamphlet). 
    With blank templates, you just type as if you're in a standard word processor (perhaps my use of the word "freeform" didn't help matters much).
    With placeholder-based templates, you insert text boxes for where you want text to appear.
    Here's some wording from Apple's own on-line help file:
    If you’re using a blank template, just start typing to add text to the body of your document. If you’re using a template with placeholder text, first select the placeholder text; whatever you type replaces it. As you enter text, new pages are added automatically to accommodate it.
    And as far as I can tell, new pages are NOT automatically added when using placeholder text.

  • Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

    Hi all,
    I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
    As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing.  I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
    I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine.  But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen.  As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
    Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it.  I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
    Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way.  I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for.  In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and".  Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
    Has anyone else seen this problem.  It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad.  Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out.  If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

    That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
    The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
    I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
    What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.
