Day 21 - Jedi Speak

The application tonight allows remote users to send text to your PC, which then gets spoken. It uses MS Text to speech API (2 lines of code... wow...). It comes in 2 parts - a server and a client. It uses port 8911 (hard coded, sorry).

I have it running on my home PC. Go ahead - download the app and send my computer something to say! My home machine is "softwarejedi.servepics.com". C'mon hackers - I'm running Vista B2. ;)

I think it sent. The client sort of hangs for bit then returns. A confirmation message to the sender might be a nice addition. Best of luck on the app a day project. Nice work!

Hey,

I have an app I would like you to make, if possible.

I think its simple, though I don't know how to do it.

I'm thinking a screen capturer/recorder for pc games - something like fraps - Only it doesn't have to be video... pictures per second is great.

my email id is sixstring(at]gmail(dot].com

God Bless

Actually a thing that replaces that horrid camatasia would be pretty great
allow input from mic and desktop to be recorded to avi or be streamed over http

That would be pretty great.
Probably a little hard :r

Hey Suraj

I know Dana's a coding Jedi, but creating something like that from scratch would be pushing it, even for him ...

For recording games, FRAPS is probably the best ... for regular desktop recording, CamStudio will do the job and when using in conjunction with VirtualDub, Windows Media Encoder or YouTube will give you good results ...

Cheers

Nick :o)
