Voice over cut-offs on Captivate 5.5

Has anyone else had problems with voice overs cutting off in Captivate 5.5? I have kept most projects as small as possible, but even so am getting cut-offs between 2 -5 times within one project (I am recording audio to slides and leaving a gap at the beginning and end on the timeline)

Hi Emily,
You can record audio to 3 slides in different ways.
Option1 :
You can record audio individually on all the three slides by invoking the Slide audio dialog for every slide.
1. On every slide you wish to record audio invoke the slide audio dialog ( from Audio >> Record to >> Slide ) and record for the single slide. Saving the recorded audio will add it to the slide you recorded.
2. You can follow step 1 for all the three slides you wish to record.
Option 2:
You can record audio to all the three slides continuously in one go. You can do this in the SLIDES audio dialog
For ex if you want to record audio for slides 1,2 and 3, then select slide 1 and invoke the slides audio dialog from Audio >> Record to >> Slides
You get a "Record from Slide" dialog. Enter the Slide numbers for which you wish to record audio and click ok.
This will open the slides audio dialog.
Slides audio dialog shows up the slides selected in the "Record from slide" dialog. Enable "Continuous play" and "SWF Preview" and Click on the recording button. This will record audio over the three slides as you narrate. Audio will be added to all the three slides. You can see the Movie (SWF) preview or the Slide number mentioned in the top right of the preview pane to know the slide number you are recording to.
If some portions of the audio spills over the next slide then you can arrange the markers in the EDIT tab. Here you can play the audio and pause at the point where you want your next slide to start and click on the button highlighted by Lilybiri. Its called the "Start Next slide here" button.
After all the recording is done click on SAVE to add audio to all the three slides.
Try out these and let me know if it works.

6th generation with voice over turned off, still plays random song names and lists 45 min into a run

6th generation with voice over turned off still plays random song names and playlist 45 min into a run. How can I fix this.

Sweat is getting into your buttons and causing spoken menus to come on. Run with your ipod placed somewhere that gets less exposed to your sweat.

End of words being cut off in Captivate 5

Hello,
This is the problem I am having: In Captivate 5, I have added audio files to my slides. When I preview the slides individually, or 5 at a time, the audio is perfect. However, when I preview the entire project, the last word on 2 of the slides in the project gets cut off inexplicably. So, in one slide "class" becomes "cla" and in the other slide "image" becomes "ima". I have left room at the end of each of these slides to prevent the words getting cut off, but I cannot figure out why the sound is fine when listening to the slide individually, and not when I listen to the slide in the project. Help?

Hi,
Could you please try the steps mentioned here --

Nano (7th gen) voice over turned off but NOT

I have done 3 things to turn-off Voice Over:
1) Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver
2) Settings>Reset Settings
3) Itunes>Owner's Ipod>Summary>Configure Universal Access
It is not like VoiceOver is turned on for either #1 or #3, so it is a mystery to me why it is turned on.
In fact, it is almost like sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off, but it is on when I don't want it to be.
It happens when I am watching videos (playlist) and not only does VoiceOver turn on but sometimes the
videos just go haywire and go fast forward, reset back to 1st video on playlist even though I want to watch 5th video.
Usually this happens maybe in conjunction with holding onto the Ipod, so I don't know if I am touching something
on the Ipod that is setting it off.
I think it just sounds like I have it exchange...
I even tried to find if there was a Voice Over Kit installed on my computer so I could uninstall it, but I couldn't find it...

I have the same problem. For me it seems to happen because of my headphones causing the voice memo app to appear, even though they don't have a microphone. I only get the weird voice over, pausing, skipping etc. when the voice memo app is visible on the home screen. My earphones don't cause this problem but headphones do, neither have a microphone. Voice memo does not always appear when i plug in my headphones, but when i pause it for a while and come back, it's there. Must be a bug in the software, if only apple cared to fix it. I guess there's still no solution?

Hi, Peter.
See if "Mac OS X: Text to Speech voices can be previewed in English only" applies. The play button is dimmed if your language is not English.
Good luck!

Hi, I can not get my iphone 4 voice over function to work. I turn it on and then it turns off automatical. I ok the message the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then turns it off????

I am unable to turn on the voice over function on Iphone 4. The meesage appears informing me of what the functions does, I press ok and the the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then it automatically turns the voice over function "off" - why???? what am I doing wrong?

I just had this same issue. It occured after I joined my school's Wi-Fi. Suddenly, my home ATV2 and iPhone4 weren't on speaking terms. All five other iphones, ipads, and macs were operating as they should. My phone was not. I tried everything: unplugging and restarting ATV2, deauthorizing all my devices and reauthorizing them, deleting and reinstalling remote app, and countless home sharing on and offs on all devices. Finally, I turned the Wi-Fi off and then on in the setting of my iphone. Boom. Situation remedied. I hope this helps.

Ipod Nano touch - voice over off, but still talks.

Hello,
I bought my boyfriend the ipod nano multi-touch back in March. We couldn't seem to get the voice to stop interrupting our music. Then one day my boyfriend calls me down to the car to hear something weird... So, I go down and the ipod was going crazy. Over our car speakers it was playing a song for about 3 seconds and then giving all the info about the song, then it changed the song and did this over and over again. We took it to apple and they took it into the back for a few minutes. When they came back they said that they heard what it was doing when they plugged in their headphones to the ipod. They also said that they turned the voice over off and that was our problem.... okay that was about a month ago. Now... its doing all over again! The bizarre thing is that the voice over is off... we've done the restart and the resetting but nothing seems to be working. When the voice over thing isn't going crazy, it skips songs with out us touching it... This is very frustrating! If anybody has any idea how to fix this or any information on if apple can help or replace please let me know.
Thank you!

Something is shorting out inside the iPod or something is shorting out the headset you are using, if it has buttons on the wire.
Even if voiceover is turned off, you can still make a 6th Gen Nano speak. What you are hearing is the track information. The nano will speak this to you if you press and hold the button on your headset (assuming you have a headset with buttons). If water gets into those buttons, it can cause the button to act like it is being pressed, pressed and held, etc.
This can also happen if moisture gets inside the Nano.
Does this only happen after exercise? Has it gotten wet?
First, make sure it gets totally dried out. You can put it in a baggie with some rice to dry it out - just make sure none of the rice gets into the headset jack!

Voice over keeps switching on automatically

I kept having issue with my voice over switching on automatically on my Ipod nano during exercise. After about 20min of exercise it would automatically start announcing song title and playlists continually. After restoring settings and ensuring voice over was off in settings it would be ok for ~20min before frustratingly happening again during next work out. Read an online chat with other users having similar issues with high end earphones and sweat somehow getting into the controls on the earphone cord and switching on voice over. Switched to low end earphones and problem now fixed but missing sound quality. Is there anyway to fix permanently ?

I just try the log out and log back in thing and it did not turn back on. I then tried restarting all together and it did not turn back on. So i guess it is fixed. I wish i knew what happened to have it turn back on though. I'm really sure how i could have accidentally hit cmd & F5 to turn it on but i guess i must have. I was probably adjusting the volume and some how had my finger on the cmd button instead of 'fn'. Another I D 10 T error lol.
Thanks for the help. I'll prob be back if it comes back on though. I'll make sure i dont hit the cmd and f5 key together.

Voice Over & Podcasts

TWIMC;
Issue: When I have voice over turned OFF i am able to hold the play/pause button and then I am presented with the command "All songs", I press the up or down volume button and then I hear "Podcasts", i hit play and then I am able to listen to podcasts.
When I have voice over turned ON, I hold the play/pause button and hear the name of the song and the artist. When I hit up or down volume there is no response.
QUESTION: How do I access my podcasts when voice over is turned on?
Thank you very much!
aside from this one concern, I am very pleased with the product.

IT IS!
From Chapter 4, page 23 and 24, of the iPod shuffle (3rd Gen) User Guide:
Chapter 4 Listening to Music 23
Using the Playlist Menu
When VoiceOver is enabled, you can choose from a spoken menu to listen to any
playlist you’ve synced from iTunes to iPod shuffle. If audiobooks and audio podcasts are
synced to iPod shuffle, their titles are also read as part of the playlist menu. If VoiceOver
is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but
not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
The playlist menu announces items in this order:
Â The current playlist (if applicable)
Â “All Songs” (default playlist of all the songs on iPod shuffle)
Â Any remaining playlists in order
Â “Podcasts” (if you choose this, you go to the first podcast in your list; you can
navigate from there to other podcasts)
Â Audiobooks (each audiobook title is a separate playlist announcement)
To choose an item from the playlist menu:
1 Click and hold the Center button on the remote.
2 Continue holding after you hear the current song announcement, until you hear a tone.
3 Release the Center button at the tone. You hear the names of your playlists.
When you’re listening to the playlist menu, you can click the Volume Up (∂) or Volume
Down (D) button to move forward or backward in the playlist menu.
4 When you hear the name of the playlist you want, click the Center button to select it.
You hear a tone, and then the first item in your playlist plays.
To restart a playlist, follow these steps to select the playlist you want.
To exit from the playlist menu:
m Click and hold the Center button on the remote.

Final Cut Express Voice Over

The voice over function on FCE 4.01 seems to work sometimes and not others (in the same sequence). when it doesn't work the window comes up and the count down occurs but nothing is recorded.
I haven't worked with FCE in a while and am getting back up to speed with the new version. My mic is fine- I have fiddled with all the obvious settings and can't figure out what is going on- any guidance would be appreciated- it is driving me crazy.

The Patch Panel is Final Cut talk for destination controls in the Timeline. This is the ability for FCE to direct a certain edit to arrive in a certain place in the Timeline that the user controls as opposed to the "what happened then" scenario.
The Patch Panel is to the right of the Timeline. Each Track has a name. Audio is called A1, A2 etc. Video is called V1, V2 etc.
On a default or new Timeline you kick off with 2 video and 4 audio tracks.
Note that A1 and A2 have additional tabs connected to them called a1 and a2, click on them and watch them break apart, click again to re-join.
If any tab on the Patch Panel is broken apart you cannot edit to that track. This allows the user to control if _audio only_ or _video only_ is sent to the timeline, and importantly, where it arrives. You can also drag a1 or a2 to any vacant audio track to insert a Voice Over. If nothing is selected or there are no spare tracks existing, the VO will automatically create a (New) track.
I'd suggest placing a unique name for each VO in the Name: field so you can locate a specific one later on.
As mentioned, look in the Target Field of the VO Tool to know where it's going before you start the VO.
If you can't do a VO eg. playhead is at the end of the Timeline, *No Recording Range Set* appears. Overide this by entering in/out points wherever you like.
Hope this blurb steers you in the right direction.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help. This is preventing me upgrading the iPad2 to iOS5 for a blind man I work with. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...

Voice memos in iOS7, on new iphone 5s cuts off recordings

Hi,
Voice memos has always been super reliable in previous versions but on a new iphone 5s with ios7 I'm finding it cuts off recordings very unpredictably - sometimes after less than a minute sometimes after a quarter hour or so.
I've seen other threads where the issue has been described but this has been explicitly on longer recordings or where the recording is finished so wanted to raise this again as an issue on new hardware with recordings of any length where the recording stops by itself.
The bug is making the app unusable at present which is a shame as it looks like it could be a greatly improved app.
Any ideas?

The worse thing about this is that Apple Support does not appear to know about it and steered me in the wrong direction. Today I tried it again and lost another 50 minute recording.
Apple needs to fix this and let users and tech staff know ASAP.
This has now cost me 2 hours of client time, plus 3 hours of tech support. The client information is priceless to me. I will not be able to retrieve the content of those discussions, even if I conduct the meetings again. Too many variables were at play.
I am beyond disillusioned that this issue is being reported in various threads throughout the fall and has not been addressed, and that phone support is unwaware, so more users will end up with the same terrible losses.
It is, in my opinion, highly irresponsible and a show of disrespect to customers to permit this to be occuring without warning users or applying fixes.

Recording Voice-Over via Final Cut Pro and Recording Via Pro Tools?

Hey all,
I'm recording some voice-over for a documentary shot on DV.
Here's my question: all other factors being the same, is there any disadvantage in terms of audio quality of recording into Final Cut (through an m-box2) using the voice-over tool, or recording into M-Powered Pro Tools using the mbox 2 (and then bringing the file to Final Cut)?
Pro Tools obviously allows for a far more sophisticated treatment of the sound after it has been imputed - but in terms of using it for capture?
I know that Pro tools allows 24bit recording, but I'd probably record at 16bit anyway so as to match the sample rate of the rest of my audio in the project.
I'd be using the same mic-xlr-mbox2 set-up and the same computer, does anyone have any views on the difference in the quality of the recorded audio?
Thanks

actually an in point by itself won't help you
a valid recording range needs both In and Out point, or simply a clip in the timeline which by its presence denotes the recording range
the recording range must be less than 5 minutes
in a blank timeline some like to throw a slug in there to mark the recording range, i find it easiest to just enter a duration in the canvas (i type 4.. in the duration field at top left of the canvas and it automatically marks a 4 minute range)
