How to convert texts into speech using AI?

 Canadian Accent Generator

 

Tips on how to use Narakeet to create phone greetings https://www.narakeet.com/languages/canadian-accent-text-to-s...

  1. Write a clear phone script: "Thank you for calling the Centre for Immigrant and Community Services. Please note that our offices are closed on Monday, July 3rd, 2023, in observance of Canada Day. All of our offices will open on Tuesday, July 4th. We hope you have a wonderful and joyous celebration, and happy Canada Day!"
  2. Type the script into Narakeet, including all the punctuations and spaces. The system will pause and adjust the greeting accordingly, regardless of the language.
  3. For Mandarin greeting, please type the Chinese greeting and choose the voice: "Zhihan" (芷涵).
  4. For Cantonese greeting, please adjust the wording of the Chinese greeting to make it sound more natural in Cantonese, and then choose the voice "Pak-chi" (柏芝).
  5. For the English greeting, choose Canadian English and then select "Pamela" as the voice.
  6. Note that Narakeet is a free online tool that only allows 20 free greetings. However, this quote resets once the IP address changes.
  7. After downloading all the greetings, you can combine them using Chipchamp. Remember to leave a 0.5-second pause between each greeting.
  8. Finally, export the greeting after reviewing everything to obtain the final audio file.
  9. TIP: ChatGPT is a good tool for reviewing the clarity of the greetings.

How to convert a file into mp3 file?

How to convert a file into mp3 file?

ffmpeg -i input.wav -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -b:a 192k output.mp3
Explanation of the used arguments in this example:
  • -i - input file
  • -vn - Disable video, to make sure no video (including album cover image) is included if the source would be a video file
  • -ar - Set the audio sampling frequency. For output streams it is set by default to the frequency of the corresponding input stream. For input streams this option only makes sense for audio grabbing devices and raw demuxers and is mapped to the corresponding demuxer options.
  • -ac - Set the number of audio channels. For output streams it is set by default to the number of input audio channels. For input streams this option only makes sense for audio grabbing devices and raw demuxers and is mapped to the corresponding demuxer options. So used here to make sure it is stereo (2 channels)
  • -b:a - Converts the audio bitrate to be exact 192kbit per second

How to convert mp4 videos into flv ones with ffmpeg?

How to convert mp4 videos into flv ones with ffmpeg?

I'm late, but if this can help somebody, it's time well spent.
If I understand correctly, you want to convert MP4 to FLV using FFMPEG. Here are two command lines to help you do that; I'm currently using them myself (you can adjust them to your needs too) :
ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 19 destinationfile.flv
and if the first one doesn't work :
ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c:v libx264 -ar 22050 -crf 28 destinationfile.flv
Please note that -crf XX is the quality of the video you will create. It's between 0 and 51 (but between 17 and 23 is a reasonable range and the lower the number is, the better quality the video is going to be).
The -ar 22050 is for adjusting the audio sample range (audio quality). You can choose 11025, 22050 or 44100.
I suggest you read this Tutorial for FFMPEG . It's really complete and has many useful tips.
Hope this will help you or somebody in the same situation.

Under 'Use our Adobe Flash Extension', click 'Get the Extension'.
Install the extension. You will see a new sub-menu item 'Export as HTML5 (Swiffy)' under 'Commands' menu in Adobe Flash.

Open your .fla file (e.g. test.fla) in Adobe Flash. Click the the new sub-menu. A browser will open, displaying a web page with your video, which has been converted from .fla. A new html file has been created, in the same folder as test.fla is, whose name is 'test.swf.html'.

Use <iframe> to include the html file. You can put the video wherever you like.

Word with Chinese Contents Can not be Converted into PDF | There is NO PDFMaker | There is NO PDF Menu

If an Office document contains both English and Chinese, then after I have removed the Chinese words in it, it will be able to be converted into PDF.

My Office is 2010 64bit. My Adobe Acrobat is X Pro (10.0.0)

The problems in the subject happen only when your Office is 2010 64bit (32bit Office does not have those problems) and your Adobe Acrobat is X (10.0.0 or older) (10.1 or newer Acrobat does not have those problems.)

Solution: Within Acrobat, click Help | Check for Updates.. After installing the updates, version of Acrobat will become 10.1.16 (on 21 December 2015) or newer.

Install a patch from here -
