Script Editor – a look

Here is the look I was thinking about for the HabloHindu script editor (the graphic needs to have the last “i” changed to a “u”.

Today, I added the ability for people to log in, and for the individual lines to be edited.  I have all the pieces figured out.  Now I just need to bring them together, polish it, and test.

Script Editor – Combining the audio files

 

Combining the recordings has taken a little time to figure out.  But now I can merge them, and convert them to MP3.  Here is a screenshot of the page that produces the script in Spanish (just filter the Spanish lines) and puts links to the combined .Wav and .Mp3

To get this to work, I had to call two command line functions “sox.exe” to combine the wavs  (http://sox.sourceforge.net/)   together.  and “Lame.exe” to convert it to an MP3 (http://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php).

I had some trouble with LAME.  It did not like the .Wav in the default format that the Java Sonics ListenUp Java Applet records in, i.e. ADPCM.  It kept saying “unsupported format”.  But it did work with “u8″.  There is some type of distortion in the background though..

 

I should also point out that I found a really neat looking PHP class to work with wav files called wav edit.  I could not get it to work with the wavs I recorded though.  Here are some screenshots of the sample page and a link to give you and idea of what I’m talking about.
