Text to audio files for iPod replay

Does this:
[http://etc.usf.edu/techease/4all/learning/how-do-i-use-the-speech-service-in-ma c-os-x-to-record-text-into-an-audio-file>
feature still work? I would like to take text found in a TextEdit document and not only have it "spoken" to me but I would like to have an audio file of it made that I can put on my iPod.
I find interesting stuff online that I would like to read but I don't have the time or it may be difficult to comprehend and so may require listening to multiple times. I would like to therefore listen to the "spoken word" file several times while engaged in doing other activities. But how can I get a written document onto my iPod as an audio file? Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for trying to help.
The "Apple menu" doesn't seem to have anything called "Services" to select.
But each application's menu seems to have "Services" to select.
For instance "Firefox" or "Safari" or "TextEdit" have "Services" tabs.
(The "Finder" also has a "Services tab.")
Nevertheless I'm unable to "Add to iTunes as a spoken track."
I am "selecting text" before before clicking "Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track."
I am doing this after going to "Services Preferences" and checking the box for "Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track."
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

How to organize the orders of audio files in ipod?

Hey guys, I'm having a problem in organizing the audio files on my ipod, I wish you could help me out. I transferred some language lessons to my ipod, however they are not in order. If they are just songs it's OK, but for language lessons you really want them to be in order. Anybody can teach me how to arrange the order of audio files on ipod? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply, Chris. Are you talking about how to change the file name on itune or on ipod? I couldn't find the way to edit any info of the audio files on itune. And the file names were already in order (i.e. French001,French002...) but they appear on itune & ipod in different order.
Thanks again.

Best way to break up audio files for Captivate?

Hi guys, I have a dilemma here. I am getting ready to record the audio clilps for Captivate and I'm wondering how I should break up the audio. For example, the first slide has
First textbox with title "Introduction"
Second textbox with title "Learning Objectives"
Third textbox with "In this lesson you will learn: a) how to do something b) how to define something"
Fourth textbox with "It will take you 5 minutes to complete this lesson"
So, how does Captivate play the audio? Do I record only one audio file for all the text on screen and add the audio to the slide? Or, do I record smaller chunks (for each textbox) and add the audio file to each of the textbox? In which order will Captivate play the audio? I'm assuming if all the textboxes have separate pieces of audio, Captivate would play those at the same time.
Thanks

Hi. My recommendation would be to create one audio file for the slide, then use the timeline if necessary to time the text captions (and other objects) to appear/disappear to match the slide audio. If you record audio for each text caption, the audio will begin to play as soon as the text caption becomes visable on the slide. If you have more than one text caption appearing at the same time, both will play their audio at the same time.
Hope this helps.

How do I upload an audio file for voicemail?

We are looking at having all our voicemails professionally recorded. Can anyone tell me how to import an audio file for the iPhone voicemail and what format it needs to be in?
Thank you!!
Jay

It would be up to your carrier if they provide this option. I don't believe AT&T does. If they did, I'd be all over that.

Audio Commentary aka alternate audio file for movie.. How?

Hi folks,
I love this discussion group btw... awesome...
So, I've got my feature film done, we did a 1 week run at the theatre now, we are almost ready for our DVD release but want to do one of those really cool Director Actor commentary / alternate audio files for the movie. Is this done in FCE or iDVD? and any tips?
Best Regards,
Mark

... I think there is a workaround with FCE + iDVD.
You could duplicate the original sequence in FCE, then add your alternate audio to the timeline of the new sequence. (Record your commentary and add as a 2d audio track (say, a3/a4)). Raise & drop the audio levels appropriately across the length of your regular and alternate audio tracks. Export the resulting video to QT Movie and import it into iDVD along with your original Movie.
You will now have 2 versions of your Movie & can put them both in a single iDVD project (of course, subject to the limitations of the total length you can put on a DVD (~2 hours for a single layer DVD, ~4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.) Or just put them on separate DVDs if your Movie is too long to fit both on a single disc.

It seems that you do not understand the problem at hand. I can listen on a m3u list using iTunes, VLC and other players, but I wish to listen on m3u lists as streaming music when I am on sites such as eMusic. For instance, I cannot listen on sample music at eMusic, but must download it first. Thus, it is not possible to listen on streaming music with Firefox. On the other hand, Opera and Safari handle m3u streaming music very well.
Can you listen streaming music or samples at eMusic using Firefox without downloading m3u-list on your local disk?

Load the External text and css file for more frames

hello..
       I created one Movie file. In that I load the External text and css file in first frame and display the first variable value in one text box.
And then in 2nd frame I use another one text field and display the 2nd variable value like that I want to load the more variable in more textboxes with different frames.
     I loaded for first variable value in first frame. But I don't know how to do next frames like that..
     Help me...

You need to load them in the frames they are in. You can store the loaded data in variables in frame 1, but you will need to extend that layer so that whatever is stored is avaliable in other frames. The code to load the data into the other textfields can then be done in the frames where it is needed.
There are other options, such as not using other frames for content or having all of them in frame 1 and making them invisible until you get to the other frames where they get turned visible.

Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

Need help combining multiple audiobook cds into single mpeg file for Ipod

I have been unable to find an application that will let me combine multiple MPEG audio files into a single MPEG file. My goal is to combine several CDs from an audiobook into a single file so that I can listen to it on my Ipod. Also, it would take up a lot less space as an ITunes listing. Mediajoiner was recommended on some other forums, but I could not find a version that worked with OS X and Java 1.5.
Any help is appreciated

Multiple audio files for one flash video

My company is developing a presentation software program that
is flashed-based. We are developing a series of videos that will be
converted to flash video. We will also be recording multiple audio
tracks for different languages that we want to swap out and sync to
the video (like the different audio language tracks on a DVD). Does
anyone know if you can encode the video and audio to seperate
tracks and then swap out the audio with another and still synch it
to the video?
We want to try and avoid encoding video for all the language
tracks to save space. If we could have one video file and then
multiple audio files that can be synched with the video file,
rather than having to encode video and audio for each language,
this would save a lot of room. Can anyone think of a way we could
accomplish this using flash and flash video?

nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

Audio file for transcription

I am trying to create a .wav, .aif, .aiff, .mp4, .m4a or .m4v audio file of an hour long interview using my macbook pro, blue microphone on garageband which was a podcast using female narration ( which I thought would be better than quicktime) and then will be transcribed using macspeech scribe.
Help!!!! and thank you... if you have other suggestions let me know as I am new to this

I think you're asking how to export an uncompressed audio file from a Garageband project, yes?
First, make sure you don't have any tracks muted or soloed, or else some of the tracks will be missing from your final audio file.
Then simply go to the menu bar along the top of Garageband and select Share --> Export song to disk. There should be a check mark next to Compress...uncheck this box so that Garageband will make a .aif file instead of an MP3 file. Then click Export. In the menu that pops up, choose a name for the song and where you want to save it, and then click Save.
All done!

Where can i find ios 3 firmware files for ipod touch 2nd genertion

I have looked everywhere, but i cant find any firmware downloads for ios 3.1.3 for ipod touch 2nd generation. Everywhere i have looked they have only had ios 2 and 4 but no ios 3! And the rare chance i do find a link it does not work. Where can i find a real source to download the firmware IOS 3.1.3 on ipod touch 2nd generation, not 3rd generation not 1st generation. Please help

Nowhere. If you manage to find one, iTunes won’t allow it to be installed, and if you somehow bypass that, the device won’t activate.
