(Comments) ADD/EDIT VOICE CLIP COMMENTS FOR PHOTOS

Click here to show the Record Voice Screen.

Just as the ability to add text comments are useful, the ability to add VOICE comments are just as useful. This way they get the full story about each photo. Of course they would NEED to look at the photos with THIS program in order to hear the voice memo clips :)

There are many features that can be used to control the size of the voice files and the quality of the voice files. Now we'll show you how to do it.  Here are the steps required in order to add/edit voice clip comments.

Go into the Program Options window. Then check the "Play Voice Clip Comments" option.

Then from the TOOLS Menu, click on "Record Voice Memo".

Click the RED CIRCLE record button and start talking. Then hit the RED SQUARE stop button.

Click the GREEN play button to hear what you recorded.

Click the "Save Voice File & Exit To Main Program" button to SAVE your voice file. The file will be the same as your photo plus ".wav". So, if your photo was "IMG102.jpg" the voice file will be called "IMG102.jpg.wav".

Of course if you don't like the recording you made, you can cancel out by clicking on the "Exit To Main Program" button and nothing will be saved to your drive.

HINT: You can select the quality of the voice files too. You can pick Telephone, Radio or CD quality. Telephone being the lesser quality. You can also select 8-BIT or 16-BIT where 8-BIT is the lesser quality. If you choose the highest quality, the files will take up much more disk space. Here are a few examples:

10 Seconds of 16-Bit CD quality = 880K.

10 Seconds of 8-Bit CD quality = 440K.

10 Seconds of 16-Bit Radio quality = 440K.

10 Seconds of 8-Bit Radio quality = 220K.

10 Seconds of 16-Bit Telephone quality = 220K.

10 Seconds of 8-Bit Telephone quality = 110K.

So, pick the quality/size that works best for your needs. Since each photo from an average digital camera is about 600K, you can see that if you recorded 10 seconds of 16bit telephone quality voice comments for EVERY photo it would only increase the amount of space required by about 1/3.

Save Voice File & Exit:
This saves your voice comment changes and exits back to the main Photo Jockey window.

Delete Voice File & Exit:
This DELETES your voice comment file and exits back to the main Photo Jockey window.

Exit To Main Program:
This exits back to the main Photo Jockey window WITHOUT changes.


EDITING: Of course once you have saved your voice clip, you can later edit it with this same window. There is a help section in this window that shows you how to insert additional voice at the beginning of a voice clip or add additional voice to the end of a voice clip. You can also delete portions of the voice clip too. This gives you total flexibility over your voice comments.
