Hey I hope I can ask a big favour of someone.

(gonna cross-post this to Off-Topic too...)

I need a few recordings in WAV files of some words for an app that we need to crank out as an alpha 'proof of concept' version this afternoon.

I can record them myself at home tonight, but it would be an ENORMOUS help to be able to get them today somehow.

If ANYONE is up to helping, you'll have my un-dying love forever, and i'll give you some gmail invites too 8)

Here's a list of the words I need - one word per WAV file. Clear, smooth dictation would be nice (as would a British accent) in a serious tone, but not too over-the-top, it will be for a security application. A woman's voice or a man's voice will both do just fine. If you want to get fancy with EQ to make it full and rich that's cool, mostly we just need a clear recording though.

"Invalid Card Format"
"Inactive Card"
"Active Card - Please verify fingerprint"
"Strong Verification - Access Granted"
"Weak Verification - Verify Alternate Fingerprint"
"Verification Failed - Access Denied"
"Operation Error - Please try again"
"Verifying Fingerprint - please wait"

you guys are the freakin' best.

We will probably go with a professional voice person when/if we do a final version of the app, or the client may not want voice notifications.

In any case if we ship the app (it's custom for one client only) with your voice included I will obtain your permission first, or change the samples. If I get your permission and keep your samples, you'll get a credit in the manual (which will be seen by one government organization here in Canada).

thanks again 8)

edit: changed the messages slightly, thanks

YOU ARE THE FREAKIN' BEST

lemme know if there's anything I can ever do for you... Gmail invites maybe? hey I have a really nice tutorial for beginners on sampling that i've got about 99% finished, you can use it for your website if you want...

Aaaaaaaaaagh you changed the wording after I'd recorded :cry:

Well if you want them with the original recording let me know! i don't have time to record them again I'm afraid :(

While I was busy recording!!
Ah well, already sent anyway.

The wording's wrong now though, you... you... you... mind-changer you!! :x


:hihi:

Could these samples be uploaded for the community? (maybe not for legal reasons or something?)
Because just then when I was reading your list of phrases I thought these could sound really good in lots of other situations like; in my tunes/other peoples tunes :D
I don't have an english accent so can't offer any assistance here :(

although I didn't create them for us it's no problem at all if the community wants to use these samples as well.

Mick - these are EXCELLENT (sorry my Boss wanted different messages), we may keep a few of them. You have a great 'radio' voice, it would be killer for reading stories or doing radio plays, seriously :hail:
