Hi,

please see attached doc..
i created flash in the "advance play/edit" area... under category "AT- Things in the house"

but have a problem here..hope someone can answer my qns...

qn.1) for example... i posted a pair of socks pic and record my readings " a pair of socks"...
when i do a test run... noticed the readings were not complete... it sounded " a pair of soc.." Is it that we cannot record such long sentence?

Hi Babymum,

We apologize for missing your post!  blush

Please find our answers to your questions below:

1. Sound problems for recordings

From what you described it seems that the last part of your recordings get cut off when you play them back -- did you notice if this also happens to lessons from your Little Reader curriculum?

If you are only experiencing this problem in your own recordings, I suggest that you try adding a bit of silence at the end of your recordings (you can add at least 1/2 second silence) especially if you have edited your recordings in such a way that that there is little (or no) silence at the end.

To illustrate (I used a series of dots to represent the silences), if your recording is like ". A pair of socks ." please try editing it to add silence, like ". A pair of socks . . ."

Otherwise, if this happens to most of the audio files (even the ones from the curriculum), then there may be audio codec errors in your computer. For this, try using the Audio Diagnostic Tool and see if it helps:
 - From your Start menu, go to All Programs
 - Open the "BrillKids" folder
 - Click on the "Support Tools" item [alternatively, you may find this in Little Reader's Support > Support Tools screen]
 - In the Support Tools window, go to "Sound Problems?" and run the Audio Diagnostic Tool
 - Once the tool has finished, you may play a sample audio or go back to your BrillKids software to check if the problem was fixed
 - Click on IT WORKS! if your sound problem was fixed, and if not, click on PROBLEM NOT FIXED to continue making system adjustments

If you are still having sound playback problems after the Audio Diagnostic Tool has finished doing all possible adjustments, please let us know. We also request that you attach a Diagnostic Report to your reply so we can troubleshoot further. For instructions on how to create a Diagnostic Report, you may refer to this article: http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/get-tech-support-little-reader-2


2. What to do after creating personalized words/categories

Once you have saved your work, it will remain in your Little Reader -- the only instances when your personal lessons will disappear is if you delete your category (or individual words) and remove these from "Trash," if you do a "Repair" of Little Reader and choose to restore the default content, or if you uninstall Little Reader completely.

If you would like to share your work with other members, you need to export your category first using the Export function (go to Tools > Import/Export content), and once you've saved your category as a *.cat file, you may upload your file in the forum's Little Reader library.

For more information about the Export function and how you can upload your files, please refer to the Little Reader manual by going to the Support > Manual screen or by following this link: http://support.brillkids.com/little-reader-manual.php (you will find the details about these in the "How to Use the Import/Export Screen" section)


I hope this helps! If the problem doesn't get fixed you may simply reply here with your Diagnostic Report.

Hi,

thanks very much for your kind response. I will try the recordings again.

Also, is there a way to save/backup my created category so that if my computer crashed or if i were to buy a new computer, i still can retrieved my work..

Hi,

i just created some other words

like flowers, sun, piano, butterfly, square

I have done the recordings according to the words. eg. flowers read as "flowers", sun read as "sun"

not sure why only sun sounds perfect, whereas the other words sounds incomplete... eg. flowe, pian, butter, squar

i notice when i play , the arrow pointing to the words run slowly under the word "sun" so the reading is complete.. but the arrow pointing to the other words moves very fast, i guess thats the reason why the readings is being cut off.

Pls help.

Hi babymum,

The auto-pointer (the arrow) moves depending on how long the attached pronunciation recording is. For "flower" and the other words that don't play completely in LR, did you already record some silence (or pause) after reading out the word? Or if you're adding in the silences while you are editing, can you try adding 1/2-second silence at the end (or try adding a longer silence and see if it works better).

So for example: [start recording] ". . . flower . . . . . . ." [stop recording]

It may also help if you pronounce the words a little slower, or try saying the words in the same speed as the ones in the default pronunciations.

If the problem persists even after you tried adding extra silences at the end of your recordings, I recommend that you use the Audio Diagnostic Tool (see steps in my previous reply) since it looks like this is already caused by a codec issue.


About saving a backup, yes you may do this by using either the Export function (explained in my previous reply) or the Backup function. With the Backup function, you'll be able to save your entire LR database, and choose to save everything in your LR Media Library too. For further details about it, please check the "How to Backup/Restore Data" section of the manual.

Just letting you know that we got the report you sent from LR's Support Tools window, and we're checking it now. yes

 - - - E T A - - -

Sorry about the late reply. From your report we found that you are currently using an old version of Little Reader (v2.0.660) which has since been updated into v2.0.706. We also found that you are indeed missing the necessary audio codecs in your computer, and this is the most likely cause for your sound playback problem.

Please do the following:

1. Upgrade to the latest version of Little Reader (right now it's v2.0.706)

If you purchased a box set, please download the installer for the latest version from your BrillKids Account instead (the installer CD included in your box set will likely have the old 660 version)

Please refer to this article for instructions on getting the latest version of LR from your account:

Installing and Setting Up Your Little Reader
http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/little-reader-install-and-setup-from-account

Before proceeding with the upgrade, make sure you backup your personalized files (including the ones you downloaded from the Forum) using the Export function. For instructions on how to export files, do have a look at this article: http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/how-to-use-import-export-screen

Note that you do not need to uninstall your current LR -- when you're done backing up your personal files, just open the installer for the latest version and this will install the newer version over the one you have now.


2. Once you have the latest version, you may put back your backed-up files (if necessary), and use the Audio Diagnostic Tool to fix your codec problem.

** Kindly  connect to the Internet before doing this to ensure that the codec LR will install for you will be downloaded successfully

 - Open Little Reader and go to Support > Support Tools
 - Click on the button, "Launch Little Reader Support Tools" to open the Support Tools window
 - In the Support Tools window, go to "Sound Problems?" and run the Audio Diagnostic Tool
 - Once the tool has finished, you may play a sample audio or go back to your BrillKids software to check if the problem was fixed
 - Click on IT WORKS! if your sound problem was fixed, and if not, click on PROBLEM NOT FIXED to continue making system adjustments

If you are still having sound playback problems after the Audio Diagnostic Tool has finished doing all possible adjustments, please let us know. Please send us a new Diagnostic Report so we can continue troubleshooting. For instructions on how to create a Diagnostic Report, you may refer to this article: http://support.brillkids.com/index.php/article/get-tech-support-little-reader-2
