When creating a slidecast, the audio is in sync with the slides until I press the play button or jump ahead to the next slide. After the pause button or after a skip slide button is pressed, the audio becomes completely out of sync. Here is a sample:
Be sure to let it play for the first few slides, and then press the pause button followed by the play button. You'll notice that the audio sync gets quite wonky.
What do you think of adding text-to-speech to slidecast for generating speech automaticly?
The idea is to integrate TTS software with SlideShare. I would like to create a slidecast with speech. With this feature I have to upload powerpoint presentation with notes in every slide. Then this new tool could *automatycly* create speech to every slide. Two clicks and we could have slidecast :)
What TTS could be used? It has to be very good quality. That is why I recommend IVONA text-to-speech engine - try it by your self at www.ivona.com
Latency has become a big problem of late...I have two slidecasts I am trying to process.
I provided a link to an mp3 file to associate with my slides. The page has told me that the url is being processed. It has taken over nine hours so far to process the file. The site has been crawling and it takes as much as 10 minutes to go from page to page at times.
There is no way to abort this process or to try a new file. As far as I can tell, I'm going to have to abandon all of the work I've done on this slide (adding comments to each slide containing presenter notes) and start over.
Can anyone help fix this issue? Also, I am concern with the sudden slowdown of the site overall..I have about 70 hours invest so far in my presentation (about 340 slides) Could it be that the size of my preso and audio file (about 20MB each is just to much for slideshare? My concern is that I need to go live with this in 3 days and if it is choppy then I won't be able to use your service. As an aside, I would happily pay a (reasonable) monthly fee to assure better connectivity. Have you looked into Akami or similar networks?
I have a slidecast presentation with audio and URL link inside the slides. Is there any way I can PAUSE the slide/audio when I click on the link to go to another site? (right now, it opens the link in a different window and continues to play the slides).
