Getting a document file from the transcribed audio file

I would like to know how to get a "document" file from the transcribed files created by Soundbooth. The files created by SB have 'xml' or 'xmp' extensions and I do not know what to do with these files or how to "read" them.
I am on a macbook pro MAC OS 10.5.5. I have latest versions of Word, and Final Cut Pro.
Any help would be appreciated. This is my first foray into the world of Adobe products.
Thanks,
Eric

The Transcript XML files conform to the XML Standards, and are a "marked up" text document containing several pieces of information. You can open the file in TextEdit (on Mac) or Notepad (on Windows) and you should be able to see what sorts of metadata is saved for each word in the transcription. Each transcribed word is stored in a data block, along with its timestamp, the duration of the spoken word, and some other metadata. This information is invaluable when importing the file into other applications or databases.
Neither Soundbooth nor Premiere Pro support exporting the transcript without the additional metadata or XML tags right now, but since it's a basic text file, it should be a very simple chore for a script to parse that file and write out each transcribed word to a new file.

  • ITunes cannot open files in the "MP3 Audio File" format

    Lately I've been getting this error that iTunes can't open MP3 files. It happens when I try to double click on an MP3, however, if I click and drag the MP3 into my iTunes library it opens fine. Not a huge problem....just a nuisance.
    Running iTunes 10.0.1

    I suddenly have this same problem with MacOS 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.2. Clicking on a tune in a folder gets the prompt "The document xxxx.mp3 could not be opened. iTunes cannot open files in the MP3 audio format."
    Dragging the tune into iTunes will open it, so there's no problem with it being a "trouble file" that needs validating with some external app. I believe this is a new glitch that came with iTunes 10.2.2. It's workable but quite irritating when trying to manage an iTunes library that includes 28,000-plus songs.

  • Recover files from the iCloud, recover files from the iCloud

    Hello, a couple of weeks ago my macbook pro was stolen, now I have a new one and I am trying to recover my files from the iCloud but I can´t. Can someone please tell me how to do it? Thanks

    There's no way that you're going to recover all of your files from iCloud. Depending on what you stored on iCloud, you can log into your account via the web to see what's there (contacts, TextEdit and Pages docs, mail, notes - whatever you had it set up for).
    But what's stored on iCloud is limited - it's only 5GB after all. You're just going to be able to get to what you had stored there.

  • How do I permanently get rid of snapdo from the pref.js file?

    The pref.js file in profile directory contains this line:
    user_pref("keyword.url", "hxxp://feed.snapdo.com/?p=mKO_AwFzXIpYRbPGr6JN_C9Okvk3V9BHMT-IkVs3ZQQWmwugvkecS8vMTddvQEc6wmyQ2ICdO6D2oVpOB4-8RjijafxhNW8n93-og7NtNom51wKx2rnKbOMMVtwkxytWmNixvkNvGHnMRycAA3fE[...]
    I have run several malware removers on this. adwCleaner finds and removes the line. But, after restarting Firefox it appears again.
    I have directly deleted this line from from pref.js but it reappears as soon as I re-open the file.
    I have made the file read-only which stops the file from being written again - for a while. A sequential set of files are then created, about 3 every time I start Firefox, with names like prefs-1.js.
    I let this run several days and eventually the prefs.js was change to RW and snapdo was back in!
    Something in my system wants to reset this line. IE and Chrome are not affected.
    How do I stop snapdo???
    Thanks

    Do you have a '''user.js''' file in your Profile folder?
    If so, is that pref in the user.js file?
    If so, remove that pref or just delete the user.js file which isn't a standard part of Firefox.

  • Hide files from the "all my files"

    hello,
    i have certain photos and videos which i do not want to be shown in the "all my files" folder, how to do i hide these specific files?
    can i make a rule for that folder not to include files which are located in a specific path?

    Not certain, but try adding the enclosing folder to the Privacy tab of Spotlight.
    You can't set a criteria such as, "not in folder X" as that criteria isn't implemented.

  • How do make sure the only audio files in my "Audio Files" folder are what are currently used in my project?

    I noticed my hard drive space was getting suspiciously low...
    After doing a little digging I realized that every single audio file (even the ones i have deleted segments for in my projects' arrange windows) are being saved in every one of my projects' "Audio Files" folders.
    One 4 minute song (comprised of 3 guitars, 1 bass, Midi drums, and a syth) has a cooresponding "Audio Files" folder containing over 1,600 Wav files and is consuming 3.0 + Gigs of hard drive space FROM THAT SONG ALONE!
    It seems as if every take i have ever recorded (even If it is no longer represented in my projects's arrange windows) remains saved in these "Audio Files" folders.
    Is there a setting/method to ensure what STAYS on my hard drive is only what is being used in the projects? There seems to be no logical reason for keeping every mistake that is otherwise deleted in the overall projects.
    there must be... because hand-weeding out every file it too daunting a task to be feasible.....
    THANKS!

    Hi
    When you delete a recorded region from the Arrange, Logic gives you an option to 'delete' or 'keep' the underlying audio file. You must've chosen to keep, or you have only been deleting regions which only refer to part of the file, so the whole audio file is still being 'used'.
    One method of cleaning up is to go to the Audio Bin, choose Edit:Select Unused, and then Delete.
    If you (really) want to tidy up further, you could use the Optimise Files function Audio Bin:Audio Files (but I'd suggest that you read up on that function in the manual to fully understand what it will do).

  • How can I convert the download.m4a and Info.plist into the right audio file

    The topic is actually the problem that I have.
    I have bought music and it was downloaded successful (all of it) but iTunes had a strange freeze while converting the files into the right audio file. Some files were converted but after the freeze no more.
    I'm now left with these .tmp folders in the downloads folder which have the download.m4a and Info.plist files.
    My iTunes is able to play these download.m4a files, but they show no information and covers and this is really annoying. I could write and change it all by myself, but than I would still miss some information (and covers).
    Is there any way for me to convert or combine these files?
    Note: I'm not able to restart any downloads, because they were successful.

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

    Andrei1,
    Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
    "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
    I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
         loader.unload();
         loader2.unload();
         loader3.unload();
    I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
         function killLoad():void{
         try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
         loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
    I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly?  Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
    ---- Here is my updated code ----
    // variable for external loaders
    var loader:Loader;
    var loader1:Loader;
    var loader2:Loader;
    var loader3:Loader;
    // makes borders resize with browser size
    function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
    // resizes portfolio page to center
         loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
         loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
    // resizes about page to center
         loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
         loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
    //adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
         Down();
    //PORTFOLIO BUTTON
    //adds eventlistner so that gallery.swf can be loaded
         MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);

  • Playing the audio file from the point of mark

    Hi All, i want to play a audio file from the point of mark.
    i have used mark() method to mark but when i play the audio it is still playing the audio from the starting point. please help me.

    Hi,
    Question:
    1. You have a folder for each DVD whose video contents you edited.
    Answer: Yes
    Question:
    You talk about projects 34, 35, 36, 37. Are these projects associated with only one specific DVD?
    What is supposed to be in each project - just edited VTS_01_1.VOB or edits from the others in the series
    such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, etc.
    Answer:
    Project 34 has edited Premiere Elements file 34 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#34
    Project 35 has edited Premiere Elements file 35 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#35
    Project 36 has edited Premiere Elements file 36 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#36
    etc.
    Question:
    2. If you screen each DVD video file VOB for a given DVD disc, does the content follow sequentially and cleanly?
    Answer:
    Yes
    When I run the VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc from each project the audio and the video are clean and match.
    When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created after project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 35, 36, 37 etc. I am getting the audio from project 34
    When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created  before project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 1, 2, all the way to 33. I am getting the correct audio
    Thanks,
    Ron

  • How to read an audio file from the disk and play it?

    Do you know who to read an audio file from the hard disk and play it. It's for an application and not an applet. I tried with the Applet.newAudioClip(URL url) thing, but I keep getting a MalformedURLException.
    And is there a way to get the path of the file you are using? Currently I'm doing this:
    File file = new file("randomname");
    string = file.getAbsolutePath();

  • Getting rid of files in the project audio folder

    I can delete unused files from the Bin, but doing that does not delete them from the project audio folder. The only way I've found to get rid of the unused files to to save a copy. Is there another way?

    You could use either Consolidate or Clean ... Logic Pro>File>Project

  • I cannot delete a file from the document folder.  I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

    Gay,
    I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

  • When I download something from the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but the window remains blank. Before it used to at least show the name of the file and I could open the file from the "Downloads" window. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

    I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
    At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
    I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
