Multimedia Software Brings Stories and Screenplays to Life

Middleton, WI - Screaming Bee LLC is pleased to announce the release of ScriptVOX Studio. This text-to-speech software opens a new window of creativity for writers who produce children’s stories, documentaries, and screenplays. ScriptVOX Studio features high-quality voice modification, graphic storyboarding, and audio and video rendering capabilities. It provides writers with an effective tool for prototyping their stories and creating multimedia presentations.

"We created ScriptVOX Studio to bring a writer’s story to life," says Mark Ramirez, CEO of Screaming Bee. He adds, “Writers can easily assign voices to their characters and create a graphic storyboard for the script. This is a great tool for helping a writer to prototype their stories.”

ScriptVOX Studio has the ability to rapidly prototype a story, script, narration, or screenplay. A writer can import their story as plain text, RTF, Word doc, and PDF files. After assigning voices to the actors and the graphics to the text, a writer can playback their story as a multimedia presentation. In short order, a writer can find out how the dialogue and scenes flow.

ScriptVOX Studio uses the latest SAPI 5.0 technology in Text-To-Speech (TTS) to produce the character voices. In addition, the built-in advanced voice-changing technology allows users to enhance and modify any TTS voice. With just a single voice, a writer can create a whole cast of characters for their story. Additional digital algorithms allow a writer to simulate environmental effects on a voice such as phone, radio, echo and robot.

The storyboarding tool in ScriptVOX Studio provides a user with an easy way of associating images with the text in their stories. This allows writers to conveniently visualize their scripts and screenplays. Combined with ScriptVOX Studio’s file rendering capabilities, a writer can also create an audio or video presentation.

Install iPhone Apps on Your iPod Touch

This article is an answer to the iPod upgrade that is currently costing many people 20$. I don't think it is fair to do so, since the people that buy the iPod now actually get these free. As far as I know I paid the same price for a lesser iPod, I should get the applications for free.

1- Download the files after a search or see my blog for the links.

2-You are then going to unzip these files, and you will end up with 8 file/folders.

3-Place Weather.app, MobileMail.app, Stock.app, Maps.app, MobileNotes.app in /Applications/ on your iPod.

4-Put GMM.framework in /System/Library/Frameworks/ on your iPod.

5-Put N45AP.plist in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ on your iPod.

6-Put MobileMailSettings.bundle in /System/Library/PreferenceBundles/ on your iPod.

7-You are going to have to set the file permissions to these apps, so everything you just put on your iPod touch must have the following permission : 755, or the applications will not work properly.

8-Reboot.

You are know on your way to appreciate your new iPod touch applications.

You might be wondering how to put these files on the iPod touch. Well first of all, you have to jailbreak your iPod, click here for more information. Also, you are going to need your iPod's WiFi IP address, if you don't have WiFi, this will not work.

To find your iPod Touch Wifi Ip Address go into Settings>wifi>blue arrow on the wifi network you are using and it will be there.

Once that is done, you are going to need to use an FTP client that supports SFTP (Secure FTP). I recommend CyberDuck for Mac OSX it is free and is real easy to use. For Windows, I suggest WS_FTP for the same reasons. Also these two FTP clients will permit you to change the files permissions easily.

Free Ipod Touch Upgrade

So I was surprised to find out, the iPod touch upgrade is 20$. I mean, isn't that the worse idea ever? I paid for my iPod touch, just like anyone else, why should I have to pay for it to be up to date.

The worse part of it, is that anybody buying a new iPod touch as of now, will get the new applications for free, which are basically what the upgrade is for. These new applications are: Maps, Mail, Stocks, Notes and Weather.

The good news, is that if you have what they call a jailbroken iPod, you will be able to get these applications for free! Yay!

So how are you going to do this? First, you have to put your firmware in 1.1.1. If you are in 1.2.1, you are going to have to downgrade. To find out if you have the right firmware go into "settings" and click on "about" then you'll see wat firmware you have. Here are the simple steps to do so:

1. Download the 1.1.1 firmware

2. Once downloaded set your itouch into recovery mode (see below)

3. Hold shift and click restore(go into itunes)

4. Double click the 1.1.1 file you downloaded

5. Wait, once it's done working, you should have the right firware.

7. Now you can jailbreak and install iphone apps (just use my instructions)

For recovery Mode

1. Have your itouch on and connected into your computer

2. hold both the sleep home button

3. When you see the apple let go of the sleep button

4. Then you'll see your iPod touch will ask you to hook it up to your computer.

Once you are in the right firmware and have validated it. You are going to go on jailbreakme.com, download and install appsnap. Let appsnap work and then go into install and install the following apps : openssh, bsd system, launcher.

You will then be able to install the applications you want on your jailbroken iPod.

I am not responsible for software failure or other mishaps, this article is plainly used for information. I will follow up with an article on how to install the iPhone apps on the iPod touch.

IPod Touch Downloads

A blog was recently written on how to find Ipod Downloads. Reading through the blog, one gets an idea that it does not have to be as hard as everyone thinks it is. The author of the blog takes us through his agonizing journey, until he hits his pot of gold (so to speak). It's a very interesting, and whimsical article. I found myself empathizing with the author. In the end, I too visited the links in his blog to check them out for myself. It is great reading for anyone who has ever found themselves in the same place searching for Ipod Downloads.

This poor guy searched through so many sites, while trying to find the perfect one for downloads to put on his Ipod. One gets the feeling that he spent many lonely, exhausting hours looking, only to get shafted by many sites. He even tells how he tried to contact several sites just to make sure that they were legitimate companies, and that they were looking out for his best interests.

Customer service, and the quality of the downloads turned out to be the main factors in his decision. In the end he decided to go with one site in particular that seemed to have it all. He even went as far as to reject all of the free download sites that give away inferior files. I truly have to commend him on his effort, and I for one am happy that he finally found his match for downloading content.

Free Music Downloads for Ipod Touch, Nano and Iphone

There are free music downloads for all types of iPods which can be found right across the internet. Although like I have said in another article, iTunes is the best for quality even though it may be a bit more expensive then the others.

Currently I actually have nearly every IPOD there is out on the market. My little shuffle is great I use it when I am going for a run or down at the shops doing my grocery shopping at woolworths or coles. Iphone is just awesome to have, to be able to speak to people like there actually right near you is something to be amazed about. Also the other cool features make it easily the best phone in the world to have.

The classic IPOD to me is the best, as it was one of the first ones released. And I waited in line for over an hour for it to buy it around five minutes after it was officially released at my local retailer. As you can see I am probably one of the biggest apple and IPOD fans in the world. I possess like every product in the range of apple and I talk about it all the time. I listen to music through my apple products for around five hours a day and my hearing is still perfect, showing more about the quality of the products and how they do not damage the ears a lot. I am just really looking forward to the next product apple release, its going to be fantastic.
