Hey Dave, Just a Thought (wav files)

Was wondering if it may sometime be possible to upload .wav files. Would be interesting to hear all the wonderful voices that go with the wonderful personalities on this site! I've been adding voice to my pics, at my age it helps with identification, you know a pic of my husband that says, "It's Steve"! Just before senility sets in LOL!

Sure, I think it wouldn't be too difficult for me to program this. I would, of course, want to know if others out there would also be interested in the concept. Everyone knows how to make pictures ready for uploading, but how many people know how to make a wav file?

dave

I don't know how, but I can learn, and I think this is a great idea.

I know how, think it may be a neat idea, although I don't have a good phone voice, I guess........LOL

Tell it to someone who doesn't know you! We here know you are a singer!

I think it's a great idea, but I would need instructions. I also need to buy a microphone. Soon I hope. I say go for it. I'll figure it out.

Great Idea but "LOL" me and minischnuz are deaf , he he he That will be nice do that.

A singer Aimee LOL, I don't think so, I don't carry a tune, I walk all over them LOL

It would be nice to be able to post sounds...It would be great for the wildlife forum since we could post bird calls and birdsongs to help others ID their visitors. And it would be wonderful for the Plants Database if we could have the botanical and common names pronounced. My Garden Encyclopedia CD-ROM has this and it's great for getting those names into your brain, LOL. :)

As long as we have aaaaaaaall the alternatives for the scientific names that's a great idea gw. As who's to say which pronunciation is right LOL - none of us were around to speak latin!

Redrose - are you really deaf?

=) Well, I am hard of hearing and talk well and if I take off hearing aid of course deaf so, MINISCHNUZ are deaf.

Are you surpised???

Yes I am a bit surprised.. I never have thought that someone here would be deaf/blind or something.. :/

=D .... I was wondering to see if you see any deaf over there with sign language??

Of course.. we have news to the deafs with sign language in TV1.

Oh really that's great, it really beautiful sign language and if you intresting to learn and you can go ask Libary to ask to see if it have or video tapes too if it have.

Hey Red come on over, Steve and I sign, we have two deaf children. They are grown now and live in CA - Ben went to Riverside School for the Deaf. Jen can hear some with hearing aid, but not at all without. And Steve also wears a hearing aid as he is deaf in one ear. Lot of of out there Dinu!

Oh really you have two deaf children and how old are they now?

Redrose - how are you and Minischnuz related? Are you cousins? I keep meaning to ask!

Ok GW... her husband's mother and my husband's mother are sisters and my husband and her husband are 1st cousin~ So, I met her when she was 11 years old which she live near by us about 2 miles away and We talk to my DH's cousin about her and met her and fall in love and got married and so exciting to have deaf cousin. =) She and I always love to go shopping together almost everyday so now she and I live distance =( about 2 1/2 hours away. She will coming down to visit with her mother so, I will bring a kitty for her. She is so exciting to have new kitty name is Shanna.

LOL Aimee, I may be a singer in a chorus but on the phone you can really tell my accent, especially when I get nervous, which I do when I talk to people I don't know in person, otherwise I'm alright :)

I can rattle on here all day long but when it comes to actually speaking..........I'm usually speechless.........LOL

My head's spinning, Redrose! LOL - that's so cool. Susan - I didn't really notice an accent with you at all. Don't be self-conscious...Accents are cool, anyway. :)

I apologise for the off topic post

Redrose, they are 31 and 26 in CA and 25 in DE and 30 in CT

Amen to that, Baa! Just think of how different we all sound...After I'd lived in Ohio for a while, I'd go back to visit family in Illinois near Chicago and people would say I sounded like a hick. And yet some friends I know from southern states say I sound very northern. Go figure! Variety is the spice of life - it's fun! :)

...what happened to the wav.....

"eyes"

hijacked. I was about to move this thread to the chatting forum. :)

no kidding....;)

Sry Dave and Eyes, guess the .wav got out of hand, let's get back to it, any progress or just more input needed?

Well, nobody actually said they would use it. They all said it'd be fun, but first they would need a microphone and then learn to use it.

I think the world is not yet ready to have voice be as common as pictures.

Dave

.....'specially us little old grandmas....:o)

"eyes"

Okay Dave, it was "just a thought"

This is one Grandmere that would love to learn how to use it. I was trying to buy a program that would work so I wouldn't have to type. I bought one but sent it back, because it was something that AOL was trying to unload. It was out dated even by it's own company, I couldn't find help for it on their web site lol.

I would use it, I have a microphone/headset. I think it would be pretty neat. I'm sure there are enough of us who know how to teach the others who don't know how, to use it too

Just a few of us Dave, maybe sometime when you have nothing to do LOL!

It would be nice to have the option.

I know of one member that hasn't posted that sends me voice mail with her email. I would also use it. Sounds like it would be something that would become popular as it is used by more members.
