HAL-9000 Voice

I was looking for a voice to get for my computer similar to HAL-9000 from Space Odyssey. You'd figure with this being one of Apple's older ads, they would have included it.

Anyway, does anyone know where I could get such a voice?

My guess is it's rather involved.
If you have the Xcode Developer tools installed, there are a couple of apps provided in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Speech/:
Repeat After Me.app (and a brief User's Guide)

  • Dialog prompt and check if file exists, and use the result of dialog

    I have this working script and I want to change the way it behaves.
    I want a dialog to come up, Do you want to skip or replace existing files.
    Then the result  of the dialog to be used in the reast of the script.
    I've added it in the script where I need to use it. in noce big letters, hopefully its not a big job.
    Many thanks

  • Getting the classic "Macintosh Basics" tutorials to run in OSX (and Linux?)

    Good afternoon folks,
    I remember WAY back in the early days that there were really good basic tutorial programs that game with your new macintosh to teach you the basics. If my memory is correct, I THINK my favourite was the earliest one, "Mouse Basics". All I remember is that, as a kid, the first tutorial I had on a Mac was this silly little fun game to teach how to use a mouse, how to click, how to drag, etc. I vaguely remember a fishbowl was involved somehow, and there was another part where you dragged a piece of paper from a desk into a garbage can.
    Heck, I think there may have been one for the pre-Mac Apples that was also really good.
    Today, I have two uses for these programs, and I want to figure out how to get them to work on modern hardware.
    1) My dad, believing the hype about OSX being the "easiest computer in the world to use" went and bought himself a really expensive iMac, thinking it would do EVERYTHING for him. Remember the scene from Star Trek IV where Scotty sits in front of the Mac Plus and says, "computer," into the mouse. That's pretty much the mindspace where my dad's coming from. Plus, my mom's even worse, and is having a really hard time grasping the concept of using a mouse. They want me get Skype working on their computer, but when I tried to help them out I discovered just how much they need to learn before they get CLOSE to the point where they can use Skype comfortably.
    But, because all this stuff is so automatic for me, because I've been using computers since around 1986 when I got my first C=64, I cannot figure out how to verbalize these concepts into words in a way they can understand. Trying to explain to them the concept of the "desktop" as a metaphor is really hard. To them, a computer is a machine that does something FOR you, like a toaster. To me a computer is a virtual "space" that I "enter" in order to do things for myself.
    For example, they might ask something like, "how do I get the computer to do x?" And I would answer, "this is how YOU do x." Or, to put it another way, they might unconsciously think to themselves, "I want the computer to give me the information I ask for," while I would unconsciously think ,"I want to go into the file system and find the information that's stored there." That's why it's called the "Finder" after all, right? It's a philosophical paradigm shift they just can't seem to make. So, they don't want me to teach them how to use Skype. They want me to teach Skype how to work for them! Somehow I cannot explain to them that an iMac is not a HAL 9000...
    So, I want to use these very old basic tutorial programs on OSX as a way to get my parents some practice on the very very very basic skills needed to use a computer. How to click. How to drag. The concept of the "desktop". Etc.
    Anybody have any simple tricks I can try? I suppose I could download QEMU for OSX and then install System 7 on their iMac, but it seems to me that there MUST be a simpler solution.
    2) I'm trying to develop a remastered **** Small Linux livecd for my very young nieces and nephews to help introduce them to computers. The idea is to prevent my silly siblings from wasting their money on those stupid pink plastic "laptops" you can buy at Toys R Us. Instead, they'd simply take their old laptop that they don't use anymore and just boot it up with the DSL livecd. On the cd will be all sorts of age-appropriate games, educational software, and a kid-oriented internet browser (I'm trying to get zacbrowser to run under WINE, so far without any luck.)
    There would be two users built-in to the livecd. If you boot it without using a password you get "kid mode" with a really friendly desktop with large cartoony icons with all the programs for the kid. If you boot it with the preconfigured password you'd get "parent mode" allowing access to preferences, utilities, and the myDSL package installation system.
    Along with giving new life to my brother-in-laws' old laptops, they could also take the livecd with them when they're visiting other folk. Instead of dumping the kids in front of the tv, they can just pop the livecd in the family's computer and the kids can plug away without the ability to touch anything stored on the harddrive.
    Think of it as SugarOS for really old hardware.
    As you've probably guessed by now, I want to include these old Mac tutorials with the CD, and again I'm trying to figure out the best way to get them to run under Linux. Again, I could try running System 7 under QEMU, but I'd really like to find a better way. Is there such a thing as "WINE for classic macs"?
    In the unlikely event that anybody has a way to modify these old programs to run natively under OSX (or Linux), that would be AWESOME!!!
    Or if anybody knows of any modern substitutes to the classic Mac Basics tutorials, that would also be cool (but not nearly as cool as a way to run the original programs. I really really liked the way those suckers did the job.)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Couple of thoughts...
    You could get/use SheepShaver to actually run Classic Apps on Intel Macs.
    For "Kid Mode" you could put other's Home folders on USB Sticks big enough.

  • Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations

    Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations
    Part one:-
    Gather information from desktop to get brand names and week numbers from the folders
    Excluding folders on desktop beginning with "2" or "Hot"
    Not sure about the list of folders
    but I have got this bit to work with
    set folderPath to "Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:DIVA_WK30_PSD" --<<this would be gained from the items on the desktop
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ":"}
    set folderName to last text item of folderPath
    set my text item delimiters to "_WK"
    set FolderEndName to last text item of folderName
    set brandName to first text item of folderName
    set my text item delimiters to "_PSD"
    set weekNumber to first text item of FolderEndName
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    After running this I have enough information to create folders in multiple locations, (i need to know where they are so that photoshop can later save them in those multiple locations
    So I need the following folders created
    Locally
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathA
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"--(Set path for Later)PathB
    Network
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathC
    Volumes:GEN:Website_Images --(no need to create folder just set path)PathD
    FTP (Still as a normal Volume) So like another Network
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathE
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"  --(Set path for Later)PathF
    I like to think that is end of Part 1
    Part 2
    Take the images  (PSD's) from those folders relevant to the Brand then possibly run more applescript that opens flattens and then saves it in the locations above.
    For example….
    An image in folder DIVA_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it DivaProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:DIVA_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    Then from the next folder
    An image in folder Free_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it FreeProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:Free_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    The photoshop applescript i'm hoping will be easier as it should be a clearer step by step process without any if's and but's
    Now for the coffee!!

    Now to the other part, where each folder was created (and those that already existed) how do I set them as varibles?

    You can use a records

    You get the path with this : localBrandFolder_High_Res of record 2 of myRecords

    You get the path with this : localWeekFolder of record 1 of myRecords

  • Move files and create unique name something wrong with my script

    Can you see where I might be going wrong here?
    Just trying to create a unique name if something exists.
    In English.
    Move file to the destinationFolder

    Once thats done move start file to the destination folder.
    Currently when the file exists in the destination folder and in the trash, I get the prompt then the error

    There are numerous errors in your script, and it's a large script so there might be more, but these are the standouts for me:
    At line 48 you:
                                                                          set fileName to get name of startFile
    which is fair enough - you then use this to see if the file already exists in the destinationFolder. However, if it does the logic about how to deal with that is flawed.
    At line 56 you catch the error:
                                                                                    on error errmess number errnum -- oops (should probably check for a specific error number)
                                                                                              log "Error " & errnum & " moving file: " & errmess
                                                                                              set newName to my getUniqueName(fileName, fakeTrash)
                                                                                              set name of fileName to "this is a unique name" -- or whatever
                                                                                              set name of fileName to newName
      --Now move the renamed file to the fake trash
      move file fileName to fakeTrash
      --now move the startfile to destination folder
      move file startFile to destinationFolder
                                                                                    end try
    so let's focus on that.
    56: catch the error
    57: log the error
    58: generate a new unique filename
    59: change the name of fileName to some other string
    Hang on, wait a minute.... we already ascertained that at line 48 you defined fileName as a string object that indicates the name of the file. This is just a string. It's no longer associated with the original file... it's just a list of characters. Consequently you cannot set the 'name' of a string, hence your script is doomed to fail.
    Instead, what I think you want to do is set the name of the startFile to the unique string. Files have filenames, and therefore you can set the name.
    You have a similar problem on line 64 where you try to 'move file filename to fakeTrash'. fileName is just a string of characters. It isn't enough to identify a file - let's say the file name is 'some.psd'. You're asking AppleScript to move file some.psd to the trash. The question is which some.psd? The one on the desktop? in your home directory? maybe on the root of the volume? or maybe it should search your drive to find any/all files with that name? nope. None of the above. You can't just reference a file by name without identifying where that file is. So you probably want to 'move file fileName of destinationFolder...'
    There may be other problems, but they're likely to be related - all issues with object classes (e.g. files vs. strings), or not being specific about which object you want.
    As I said before, though, I might be way off - you don't say where the error is triggered to make it easy to narrow down the problem. Usually AppleScript will highlight the line that triggered an error. Knowing what that line is would help a lot.

    This is how it looks.
    A few things i need to add.
    How can I save of time by not having to save to the multiple locations (i did try t using finder to duplicate last file of folder but that didn't work too well)
    Also the line where it saves to website_images in need to exclude those files that end in _2 and _3 (or files that are exactly 16 digits long).
    And finally if in photoshop it come across and error I need to skip the file and log it to a text file or just leave it open and continue.
    Also how do I have it run in the background so i can continue to use the computer?
    and finally any other way to make it run faster?

  • Convert to Droplet and single use

    Current this script that I have had a lot of help with takes a look at the desktop and collects all the folders on the desktop and process the files accordingly. Now I need to change is so that I can drop any folder on the droplet/script and then it will process the contents of the folder. Using the name of the folder.
    Also I need to be able to make it run as a separate script. where by the file is dropped on to the droplet it will then need to recognise the name from the file.
    ie
    BR70NW012345  BR= brandName BRAND
    MA65NW012345 MA= theMatts Folder name MATT
    A prompt would then be required to enter the week number  this allows it to then create the relevant folders. and then it would need to filter to use the correct process.
    Here is what I have at the moment
    Off to have a go myself. But definetly would appreciate the help.
    Thanks

    Thanks for getting back. Still having issues,
    This is the script I have been working on, I'm sure I'm close. at the moment this does create the relevent folders, opens up the file does some of the process but does not save any files down? I suspect the error comes from the original line
    set theFolder to ("Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:" & folderName)
    That I changed to
    set theFolder to eachItem as alias (I'm sure that wrong)
    Thanks

  • Crearte folders based on file name and then do action

    I've written this in the best possible step to step way as possible buti've no idea how to pull it altogether as a script. Hopefully its all there, just let me know if its still not clear, I would love the help if anyone can help sort this out for me.
    Many Thanks

    -there is a folder on the desktop called Season_SSxx_PSD where xx = a number

    --then all files begining with BH in the folderName  do this photoshop action and save in the folders created from --above, then move on to the next file begining with BU create the relevant folders and then do the action as --before and so on.

  • [SOLVED] X fails after pacman -Syu

    After a year or so without upgrading (not recommended) I did a pacman -Syu; it took like ages 'cause I was on kernel 2.26, and now my arch is a complete mess: user modules don't load at boot, dhcpcd is not working so I don't have internet access and the X server is erratic too. Now I have to repair it step by step, and I think I should start with X.
    Here is the startx/ xinit output:

    So you updated everything except gnome-stuff? Update the gnome-stuff.
    But I'm all for gnome 2 , and X should work despite of the gnome version or the desktop environment. Shouldn't it?
    No, not if you're using gdm or autoboot into gnome or something similar.

    This sounds like one of gnome-sessions dependencies have been updated and isn't compatible with gnome-session anymore.

  • E72 - How well does it work with Garmin Mobile XT?

    I bought Garmin Mobile XT for my mobile and successfully installed it, but it stops responding after a while, maybe some 5-10 minutes. Has anyone else tried it with the E72?
    "The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made." HAL 9000
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ahhh, damn it! Ovi Maps doesn't cover Serbia (yeah, we're heaven forsaken, I know). Good thing I didn't actually buy Garmin and then figured it doesn't work.. I was considering buying it actually. Go figure - the map of Serbia, which is basically a third world country in the middle of Europe, costs exactly as much as the maps covering most of Europe. That just s*cks.
    You've got kudos from me for advice, thanks!
    Do you happen to know any other GPS software that does work on the E72?

  • Getting rid of computer...what I do to wipe my info?

    I am getting rid of an old computer with OSX. What measures should I take so that the new owner will have a fresh start without any of my info still available.
    I am hoping there is a way of doing this without wiping the HD and reinstalling the OS.
    I guess I should say that this is an office computer going to another office of my company, so there is no VERY personal info, just work related. So I just need a basic account wipe.

    I'm assuming that you have not been putting things outside your home directory.
    If you have admin access to the computer, the easiest thing would be to create an account for the new user with access to administer the computer, log in as that user, and delete your existing user. If you press the "Delete immediately" button when asked, it will remove your whole user folder in addition to your ID. The new account will be fresh and will have default preferences when they user uses applications.
    If you do not have administrative access, you can pretty much get the same result by deleting everything in each of the folders in your home directory (and any stray files in your home directory).
    If you are concerned about people trying to restore files you've deleted, it might be a good idea to investigate utilities that will write over the open space after you've deleted the files, and you might want to eliminate system logs if you've been doing anything you really don't want people to know about.
