if you Google-search for microsoft sapi
you’ll find the microsoft speech sdk, its a bunch of program code to help programmers write programs that speak – included in this are little sample programs, ready to use – one of them is ttsapp.exe you type some text and the computer speaks it – and you can save the audio as a vaf file which you can the use for your videos

i meant “wav” files , which you can use in moviemaker

look for “microsoft photostory” it’s free , though you need windows xp or vista, and its easy to use

Thanks, mcasual. I wish I had seen your video about 9 hours ago, when I embarked on this ridiculous journey to make a youtube compatible slideshow.

if you google for “microsoft photo story” it’s a slide show maker that’s even easier to use and free

how do you put the slideshow to youtube?

the program outputs AVI movie files, you upload them directly like that without modification, using youtube’s” upload” feature

COMPLICATED

What TTS engine do you use?

neospeech from the web site of the same name, looks like i cant type the url, youtube doesnt allow it

iWishIhadabody!!!!jajajajaj

AND CONFUSING

best is to get the free microsoft Photo Story 3, and it accepts mp3 for the audio track

“for free or less” lol wtf? XD

i was lafing soo hard i didnt understand a word!

type cinemaforge in a google search and you will be able to download the free program Cinemaforge that can convert many types of videos from one format to another, including MP4 – you can also search cinemaforge on youtube and find some tutorials for it – if somehow this doesnt work, you can google for “online video converter”

perfection cheers very basic layout and easy to use. Instead using winamp though why not just rip songs ton Wmediaplayer and select wav as format seem easier to me….

This is so awesome!!!!
I get to laugh uncontrollably while I get my tutorial!!

I want to make my own tutorials with the Steven Hawking voice too!

when downloading this one. does this have a virus?

according to me mcAfee virusscan 2009 it’s perfectly clean – i downloaded and installed it from snapfiles..com just now and mcAfee didnt detect anything problematic — note that microsoft has a free and very good program to create slideshows, called photostory, symply type “photostory” in google and the result at the top is the download page at microsoft..com

“I can feel it in my non existent bones!!”

FOCROFL!!!

Great video!!

lol! click the big sexy download botton!

LMAO, thats some funny shit. lol… good video. helpful too!

thanks! if you’re on a windows computer, you could go at microsoft..com and look for the free slideshow maker program named photostory, it’s easier than the one in my tutorial.
