NEW -" AUDIO" ARTICLES AT AHT
4/27/2014
Hi All
I am introducing "Audio" versions of AHT Library Articles. There are hundreds of articles in the
AHT lbrary so it will take some time to produce audio versions of them all. I have, as part of my learning process converted the first couple of articles which you can listen to here -
1. Origins Of The Afghan Hound (Author Steve Tillotson)
2. Barukhzy Afghan Hounds, Netherlands(Author Steve Tillotson)
Audio Controls
I have added a mini audi-control-panel where you can
- Play
- Fast Forward
- Scroll back
- Pause
- Adjust volume level
1. BENEFITS
1.1 For AHT visitors on smart phones they can now listen to AHT articles when they are mobile or on the move
1.2 The audio versions will display and play on Ipads, Notebooks, Desktops etc
1.3 I dont know about you guys, but I spend a lot of time on the computer and sometimes I get "tired eyes". Being able to sit back and "listen" to an article can be a restful way of enjoying breed history articles
I am using the industry leading text-to-audio software which is excellent. It translates the written word to audio very accurately and is very natural sounding. It's great with dictionary words but requires some manual adjustment by me when translating some of our weird dog and kennel names, but I am learning already how to remedy this, The software offers a range of voices, male and female, and variations on English dialects such as British English, American English, Australian English, Scottish English etc, It also offers foreign languages (I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know how good the language translation aspect is). I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you may have on this exciting new dimension to communicating our breeds History. Thanks, Steve T
