Problem with TTS voices over 8kHz...

When I use the Neospeech voice that comes with Captivate CS6 for text to speech, which is 8kHz, it sounds fine, but when I use the premium voice for the same character from Neospeech, whih is 12kHz, I get some kind of feedback and it sounds awful. I spoke with Neospeech and they tested it ad had the same results and suggested I contact Adobe. Anyone else had this issue?

Actually, it started working fine when I told it to capture
sound at 11kHz.. I should have tried that first, before making a
fuss here, sorry. Looks like some weird glitch, a driver problem
maybe, but anyway, switching to 11kHz seems to have solved
it.

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
Any thoughts...

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Sounds like it could be a RAM problem.

Safari have problems with streaming radio over flash

Hello,
since my update on MAC OS LION have my safari problem with radio streaming over flash.
For testing: http://shoutcast.flashradio.info/#/House/814384/
In all browsers on all platforms will this work. Just on the combination from MAC OS LION and Safari 5.1 we get the io error #2032.

Try changing some Advanced wireless settings on the router. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Click on Advanced wireless settings. Change beacon Interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Change the wireless channel to 11.
An 802.11n router can also work with 802.11g and even 11b devices. But these much slower devices force the router to slow down to talk to them, which means a big throughput hit. Fortunately, the "legacy" mechanisms are pretty efficient and reduce throughput only when the slower devices are actively transmitting or receiving. Either upgrade to all 11n clients, or use a separate 802.11g router to handle your "legacy" stuff.

HT2477 Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad

Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?

It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key.

Dear Tomarshe
I had the same problem a couple of weeks back.
What I did was that I restarted that Ipad of mine and voila!
Problem solved!

Stratchy noise with my voice over

Hi WiseMac Folks,
I'm a new iMacG% user trying to make a small doc about my Dad using some home videos and some old photos with a voice over narration in parts.
However, the voice over is marred by scratchy (sp?) noises. I'm using a Logitech USB microphone amd I've tried to move as far way from the iMac as I can do to the burrring sound of the hard drive (on the left side).
Any suggestions as to what this beleaguered middle aged former PC user should do?
Many thanks,
Mary

"..I would just record it on my camcorder and import it like usual. Just a suggestion.."
..and a very good suggestion (..I think Ken Twydell or Lennart's suggested that, too..) because that way you can watch the video on your Mac, record the v/o on the camcorder, and you're not giving iMovie a headache while it tries to both play back (video) and record (audio) at the same time - which can sometimes result in the message "The disk responded slowly". See also this similar knowledge base item specifically for iMovie HD.

Problems with TTS user dictionary with Captivate 8

Hi There, We have installed Captivate 8 on 2 machines at work. We need to use Neo Speech and will be looking to add and modify pronunciations. We are having some issues with TTS. Firstly on my machine I can modify words and save the dictionary but hear messages to say that this is the trial version of Neo Speech. Is there something else I need to install to avoid this?
My colleague cannot use the dictionary on her machine at all as when she tries to open the user dictionary it comes up with a message to say "TTS failed to load" although she has all the voices installed in the same way as mine. Does anyone else have this problem? Have any patches been released that our IT department need to install? Any help is gratefully received as we have a number of big projets with very short deadlines and these issues are really holding us up. Many thanks

Hi Janet,
Here is the workflow to change the pronunciation of a word for Bridget voice. you can follow same flow for others too.
1) open file. "C:\Program Files\Adobe Captivate Voices 8\VT\Bridget\M16\bin\UserDicBre.exe" in your case(win 32)
2) This will open following window.
3) Click on file open and select the default file. this will populate word information table on this window. above screen shot i have already selected the file.
4) if the word for which you want to change the pronunciation is already in the list then just select the word and click on Modify word and then just modify the pronunciation.
5) In case if you want to add your own word then use add word.
6) In case you want to override some spell pronunciation just add that word as new word with relevant pronunciation.
7) Once all the change is done, just click on File Save button and then click on close, if in case again it ask for save then again save it.
That's it.. you have successfully added/changed pronunciation for a word.
To test it just use TTS functionality of Captivate and generate an audio, or even you can spot test using read word functionality.
Hope above steps are helpful and for your colleague's system I am not sure what steps your IT team is opting to install that. In case if possible can you get exact steps. I prefer try in some fresh machine. Let me know whether the above steps are helpful.
Regards

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

Memory leak problems with loading videos over and over.

I'm having memory leak problems with loading videos into a VideoPlayer aswell as FLVPlayback.
What the flash should do:
- Should be running for 7 days without having to restart the projector.
- Interface that shows people around a 360 3D model with 5 different parts and at the stops it makes during the rotation you can click to zoom in on a location which plays a movie for that aswell.
- Shows a video out of 5 parts for a 360 rotation in 3D in mp4 video (added each time and cleaned up, see code below).
- Still images are used when the video clips are done playing (MovieClip in stage).
- Should run automatically when there is no user interaction for X minutes.
What the problem is:
- The flash (as a exe and swf i guess) starts to consume memory over time (say 10 hours) until the projector crashes. This usually at around 1.75 GB of memory.
I cannot see why the Flash cannot garbage collect this and free up the memory. Mabye there is something I don't understand about the garbage collection in flash?
Here is some code from the video loading and playing:
var fVideo:VideoPlayer;
VideoCreate();
function VideoReady(pEvent:VideoEvent):void
trace("VideoReady()");
     // start playing video
fVideo.play();
function VideoLoad(pUrl:String):void
     trace("VideoLoad(" + pUrl +
     VideoCreate();
     if (pUrl != "")
          if (fVideoFolder + pUrl == fVideo.source)
               fVideo.seek(0);
VideoReady(null);
          } else {
trace(fVideo.state);
               if (fVideo.state !=
VideoState.DISCONNECTED) fVideo.stop();
fVideo.close();
fVideo.load(fVideoFolder + pUrl);
     } else {
// error no url
function VideoCreate():void
     trace("VideoCreate()");
     // remove old one
     if (getChildAt(0) == fVideo)
          removeChildAt(0);
     fVideo = new
VideoPlayer(1024, 768);
     addChildAt(fVideo, 0);
     fVideo.autoRewind = false;
fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoDonePlaying);
fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, VideoReady);

Hmm. It's in connection with Dropbox. Så apparantly you can only use one of the two at the same time if you want the programs integrated in Finder.

My Biggest Problem with Siri - Voice Dialing

My biggest complaint with Siri is that voice dialing requires an Internet connection. If I want to initiate a voice call to someone in my contact list why does Siri waste the time and bandwidth to access my contacts on my iPhone via the Internet? This makes no sense and is much slower than was the case with normal voice control.
My suggestion would be that when you say "call" Joe Smith Siri will first look in your contact list. Why would you have it any other way?
Am I missing something here or was this overlooked?

Siri also can't find contacts with non-typical but still common and phonetically simple spellings - Rebekah or Coffman. The regular voice commands don't have this problem. To Apple apologists who suggest that I go through my 800+ contacts and enter phonetic assistance, hey, get a life. I need stuff that just works, which is supposed to be the the Apple hallmark. My very first Palm Treo smartphone had more accurate voice dialing, and that has been true on all the Palm and Blackberry phones I had before getting a 4s.
There is a solution. Turn Siri off permanently. The non-SIRI voice dialing works better (though still not as good as my old phones). Then go to the app store and install Dragon Dictation and Dragon Go. Both are free as of this writing. Dragon Dictation is faster, easier to use, and more accurate than Siri. Dragon Go is slightly clunkier to use than Siri, but the results are equally good. Neither has the frequent Siri "not available" problem. You will have to live without the smarmy comebacks, though.

Problem in adding voice over presentation

Ok so I want to do a voice over narration on my keynote presentation
I go through the steps of adding audio to my presentation, on the recording screen
the red button is not blinking and my voice is not recording onto the presentation can anyone help pls
Ogay

This is my recommendation.
Step 1) Create your Keynote presentation.
Step 2) Record your speaking part (separately) with an audio recording program.
I recommend Audacity. It's a great free application. You can download Audacity from www.sorceforge.com among other places. You'll also want to get the Audacity LIB file that is needed to export your audio recording to .mp3.
3) From the Keynote Inspector, under the Document tab, go to the audio section and add your new voice recording file to the Soundtrack.
4) From Keynote, go to File, Record Slideshow.
While the audio plays, click through your slides. This is getting the slide change time down.
5) From Keynote, go to File, Export. Make sure to have the following settings:
Playback Uses: Recorded Timing
Include audio (sound files, movie audio): NOT SELECTED
Include the slideshow soundtrack: NOT SELECTED
Include the slideshow recording: SELECTED!!!
Click next and your Keynote presentation should export to a .mov file (keep in mind, this .mov file has no audio. we'll take care of that in the last steps).
6)Open the new .mov Keynote presentation in Quicktime Pro.
7) Open the original .mp3 sound file in Quicktime Pro.
8) Select All of the .mp3 file and then click CTRL + C to copy it.
9) Go back to the .mov Keynote file and Select All. Then go up to Edit > Add to Movie.
This adds your sound and movie file together.
10) Finally click on File > Save As. Select, Save As A Self-Contained Movie and you're done.
I Hope This Helps!

How to make a movie from a PowerPoint with a voice over

Hi - as the title suggest, I'd like to record a movie of a PowerPoint presentation with me providing the voice over. I'd then post this onto our company intranet for others to review the presentation.
Any ideas how I'd do this?
Thanks

An easy way would be to export each powerpoint slide as a JPEG file. Import these into an iPhoto album. Drag the iPhoto album into your movie through the Photo Browser and add your voiceover.
It might also be possible to export your powerpoint presentation as a QuickTime movie, but it would be important to do it as a timed presentation rather than a manually advanced presentation, because iMovie will not import manual advance tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks, etc.
I have imported presentations from KeyNote but have never tried a PPT.
