Sound Files Question
« on: April 02, 2011, 01:02:39 pm »
I want to create my own sound files for a route using an audio translator. ( URL- http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_tran_example.php ) How can I make my own automated announcements using this website?

You can use audacity to record the sounds your computer makes using Stereo Mix recording.  You can then import your recordings to a wav file and use them for announcements.

What ipac failed to mention is that you can do that only if your computer has the Stereo Mix recording device.
If you have Stereo Mix on your computer then ipaclansite's suggestion is good to go.  ;)

all computers do, it's how the audio is sent to your speakers. Some require you to activate it in recording devices before you can control it though

Most modern computers should have Stereo Mix available for use.  If they dont, a driver update usually solves the issue.
