Calendar pop up notes: So I do not forget birthdays and anniversaries
Would be great.
A sexy female voice announcing the time. The ladies voice sounds a bit robotic.I know that's just eye candy (ear actually).
:wink:

Do you have any female friends with a sexy voice? If so, you can build your own voice pack, with her help (and don't forget to share!). It's pretty easy. :wink:

I just asked my Thai wife to say "Hi darling it's 8 O'clock"
My wife also has lots of lady friends. I am sure I could find several voices.

OK tell me more about setting up a voice file that the clock can use. Of course I would share.
It would be quite a thrill for the girls I am sure.
Any other phrases would also be considered. Maybe we could offer a selection.
Do they have to be .wav files. Do I name each file 1sexyvoice, 2sexyvoice ect. Sorry I do not know any french girls. Will Thai voices do.
Do I put them in a special folder? What size must the files be.
:D

Best wishes

Here you go, I think the file names are self-explicit. Wave files used for the voice pack:

0.wav
1.wav
10.wav
100hours.wav
11.wav
12.wav
13.wav
14.wav
15.wav
16.wav
17.wav
18.wav
19.wav
2.wav
20.wav
3.wav
30.wav
4.wav
40.wav
5.wav
50.wav
6.wav
7.wav
8.wav
9.wav
AM.wav
PM.wav
Oclock.wav
TheTimeIs.wav
YouHave.wav
NewMail.wav
NewMessages.wav
NoMessages.wav

Once you have the whole bunch recorded, zip them up and send them to the Winstep support address. :D

I just copied that lot into notepad. Then I went looking for the sound waves.
Found them. Putting them together without sounding robotic may be a bit more difficult. As you are splicing one .wav after the other. getting a smooth flowing tone may not be so easy.
I just played a heap of them and in Italian too. Could not understand a word.
The secret will be in the cutting of the .wav files. I may try and get a few people involved. How do I add them to the clock as an alternative selection?
So I can hear the results.

Best wishes

and I cannot believe I got such a quick response: Thanks!
:D :D

Look for the themes folder where the other wav files are. Inside the themes folder, create a new folder named, say 'Sexy Female Voice'. Put all the wav files inside that folder. Now open notepad and paste the following into it:

[WORKSHELF]
ClockVoiceFolder=C:\Users\Public\Documents\WinStep\Themes\Sexy Female Voice\
ClockVoiceThemeName=Sexy Female Voice
ClockVoiceThemeAuthor=Your Name Here

Save the file as 'Sexy Female Voice.wsv', open WorkShelf Preferences, and you should now be able to select the new voice theme in the Sounds tab.

It seems that the NewMail voice message for Female Voice (Audrey) from my post above had been personalized for my nephew. I have de-personalized it, and re-uploaded the file to here:
