hey Sqiky. How's the Lain project going?

anyway, i came across an interesting piece of information yesterday that i thought you might wanna know (if you don't already).

At the start of each Lain episode, the voice that says "Layer **" is the Whisper voice from Apple Mac's Text-To-Speech program. Also you can get a very similar version on windows. So with this you could probably remake the opening title but have say "Layer 00" or "Layer 14" and then the title of the video and have it said by the voice. Just thought you might be interested. I myself might use this type of thing in the future.

So much for my vast knowledge of Lain. This could have very good potential for sound effects throughout the video, not to mention other things.

Thank you for the info!

i found an excellent site with info on Lain if you wanna see what else it has:

www.cjas.org/~leng/lain.htm

So where exactly can I get this program similar to Apple's Whisper program?

[prodigi]

well you can actually get any TTS program (text to speech program) and then just go to google and type "Whisper TTS" and you can find the whisper.tts file which will self install and register on the program automatically. be careful which TTS program you get though, because they famous for being PLAGUED with spyware.

a good one is called TextAloud, no spyware at all. if your having trouble getting you can get it from me.
