Recording audio from a published file?

Hi,
I am using Captivate 4 with Windows XP. I am creating a soft skill learning project and what I would like to do is when the users are going through the training, I would like the published Captivate file to capture audio from the user via a microphone. I would then like to have the audio clip save to a folder or emailed. Is this possible? Is there such a function in Captivate to do this?
Thank you,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Unfortunately this would not be possible in Adobe Captivate out of the box. If you own Flash and are ActionScript Savvy, you might be able to develop a Widget that would add this functionality. I don't think such a Widget currently exists.
Best regards,
Mark

  • Record audio from .exe file

    Hi we had created an entire project of 2.5 hours of around 140 slides using Adobe Captivate 6. We had put the slide notes as text and published an .exe file and shared the same with the client.
    However, now we have lost the source captivate .cptx file and have to redo the project from scratch.  We have the powerpoint presentation for each slide so putting the objects as per the .exe is not an issue.
    We figured the easiest way to have the audio is to record directly from the .exe and then put the audio files in captivate, rather than putting slide notes and repeating the entire process.
    Is there a way to directly record audio from the .exe file? This will reduce our effort with respect to the pronunciation of words.

    Double-click your .exe file and let it run, do not close. If you're on Windows 7 go to
    C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Temp\
    and look for a folder like CPE7770.tmp. You can use the date and time stamp to locate this folder.
    Your swf file will be there.
    If on another Windows OS, the path should be similar.
    You can also use software like Audacity or Audition to record audio from your computer. Set up will depend on your system config.
    Cheers,
    Seth

  • Recording Audio from additional sources:  Why doesn't the "Audio File" show

    Hi, when recording audio from another source and saving: where does logic store the file? Shouldn't it be in the "audio' folder or the set path you set it to>?
    For some reason after we record the "Audio File" we recorded is not to be found in the "Audio" folder we created within our project?
    clues?

    Can you define "from another source". I'll assume for now, you mean, from an external live source, like a vocal, or guitar.
    Yes, if you had saved the song using the "Save As Project" command, the audio path to that songs audio folder should have been set. and all audio files recorded into that song would reside in that location.
    The only thing that you might want to check, is hit "A" with the song open, and make sure "choose path" is set to "Song Recording Path" and not "Global Recording Path".

  • Recording audio from device on server

    I have some really nice audio recording gear hooked up to my computer, and I got a neat idea. I want to turn my PC into a web server and serve a flash application from it that allows a user to record audio from MY hardware (basically record the output of a mic hooked up to the "server") and then download the resulting audio file to his or her computer. Is this possible to do using a single flash application? I'm sure I could send commands to a C application on the "server" that would do the recording, but I'm wondering if there is a more simple solution. Also, monitoring the audio while it is being recorded would be nice.
    Thanks

    The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
    If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.
    Regards.

  • Any Freeware suggestions to recording audio from a DVD?

    If I am playing a DVD in my iBook, I want to be able to record audio from that DVD. Any suggestions?

    The free program a52decx takes a DVD and outputs the audio in an .aif file. Search google to find it.

  • How do i transfer recorded audio from my ipad2 that is in a quickvoice app to my imac if the audio size is to big to email

    how do i transfer recorded audio from my ipad2 that is in a quickvoice app to my imac if the audio size is to big to email

    Does quickvoice show up under shared documents when connected to iTunes. you could transfer it that way. Connect to iunes and then select your device and choose apps along the top and scroll down and see if it is there under file sharing.

  • How would I record audio from iphone into computer?

    i was wondering if anybody could help me.
    i want to hook up my ipod to my computer and record the audio from the iphone
    how would i go about doing that?

    The OP would like to "record audio from the iPhone", not copy audio files across.
    Once we find out which audio (existing files or live through the mic) we'll be able to offer suggestions.
    For exisatinf audio, the first choice is obviously iTunes and sync, but I suspect it's the latter, in which case I'd recommend the free app: Megaphone Free.
    It directs the sound picked up by the microphone to the headphone socket, so you can then just record the Line-in signal on the Mac.

  • Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

    Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

    Hi @imobl,
    You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
    To respond to some of the points you made,
    - I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
    - you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
    - all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
    And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
    Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

  • Recording audio from a DVD

    Does anyone know of a good freeware or shareware program for recording audio from a DVD into any format?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   80G HD/1.33GB RAM/ Too Much Music

    A nice tool for ripping and demuxing the audio part off a DVD is OSex.
    You will get ac3 track - convert them with mAC3dec. http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac3dec

  • IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

    If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

    Sounds like a bad battery.  You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
    I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

  • Downloading audio from a video file from iTunes?

    I have a 40G 4th Gen click wheel iPod (no color or video). Is there a way to download just the audio from a video file that I have in iTunes?

    I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
    I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
    Good luck, and happy editing,
    Hunt

  • Can I  rip the audio from a video file?

    I have a video file with a band singing on it. I have an ipod nano, so I can't import the video with the singing onto my ipod. Is there anyway to rip the audio from the video file and put that onto my ipod?
    -Thanks

    Open the video in Quicktime Player.
    Select the Export menu item.
    Change the Export type to "Sound to Wave".
    Save the WAV file somewhere with the default settings.
    Load the WAV file into iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to AAC for the Nano.

  • Recording audio from a soundboard

    Hello fellow iMac'ers, got a brand iMac with OSX Mavericks. I'm trying to set it up to record sound from a Peavey XR1212. I'm a PC guy, so I'm used to using Audacity to do the same procedure, so I downloaded it and tried to get it to work.  The soundboard has an "mp3 in" line as well as an RCA out jack.  The iMac does not have a mic in line, only a headphone port.  I called Apple Support and the representative informed me that the headphone port on the Mac is smart enough to determine whether I would be using it for headphones of a mic in line, so I should put the mic in line there.  So my set up was running an RCA jack (red and white connected to soundboard) with a headphone jack on the other end into the headphone port on the Mac.  When I began recording on the through Audacity, the program did not show me the soundboard or the RCA jack as one of the available options to choose to record sound from, it defaulted to the internal mic on the Mac as the only option.
    I did not try going from the "mp3 in" line from the soundboard (which btw is a headphone port as well) to the headphone port on the back of the Mac.  I use an auxiliary cord to play music from the Mac through the soundboard with these headphone ports, but it just didn't seem obvious to me that this set up could be used for recording.
    While I was downloading Audacity, the Mac was updating garageband, which I have little to no familiarity with.  I have done some research and found out that I could potentially use this to record from my soundboard as well.  So finally here is my questions:
    1) The back of the iMac has 4 USB ports, 1 FireWire port, 1 headphone port and 1 ethernet port.  Since there is no "mic-in" port, what port can I use to record audio from the soundboard in audacity or garageband?
    2) If I go from the soundboard with an RCA into the headphone port on the Mac, can I use garageband to record?

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • Recording audio from a Channel Send

    I've done this before, but I can't seem to do it again.
    I am trying to record audio from one channel (which is using an audio instrument) to another channel (an audio channel) using an audio send. I am not having a problem setting up the send. I am able to hear the audio correctly and independently on both channels. The problem occurs when I try to record the audio, because there is no "record" button on the channel header for me to arm the track. The track is set up as a "record-enabled" track, but in the space where the other tracks have the record button, there is just a empty space on this tracks header. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well,
    I seem to have found the problem. It appears that "audio tracks" will not allow you to arm them for recording unless there is a possible real audio input device connected to the computer. I plugged in my Snoball mic, allowed Logic to set it up as a device, and the record button magically appeared in the track header.
    Hope this helps anyone else who is having a similar issue.

  • Recording Audio From A Sound Board

    I was originally planning on buying a Samson Zoom H2, H4N, or ProTrack Stereo Recorder to begin recording audio at concerts I attend using the house sound board, but began wondering if the iPod Touch had the same capability, perhaps by adding an app of some kind. It would also be useful to record audio from weddings I videotape. I know there are voice recorders such as the Belkin that you can attach, but I was thinking more of connecting the iPod directly, by using a 1/4" to mini cable adapter. Is this possible? If so, what app would enable me to do this?

    The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
