TOKYO (MacHouse) – I’m not really good at improvising a speech. So I could use a reading aid like a teleprompter (a visual device that prompts the person reading a script with speech text) that would run a script if I had to audio-record a speech.

In fact, Rollerscript is a Windows desktop application that will let you use your computer as a virtual teleprompter. You can use four different colors to create an environment where the user will will feel comfortable in reading a script. You can import an existing text file (.rtf, .txt) or just write up a reading script from scratch. The script field supports styled text (rich text format). So what you write in styled text is what you will see and read at full screen. You can underline important phrases, putting them in bold, italic, applying a color to them. Rollerscript is not a conventional teleprompter, don’t you think? Rollerscript it can be a great helper for those who record an audio commentary in making video tutorials.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – FLAC and Monkey’s Audio have gained a lot of popularity over the past several years. FLAC is especially popular when it comes to classical music. But what can we really do with those audio files if you can’t use them with Microsoft‘s Windows Media Player or Apple‘s iTunes.

We initially developed xLosslessAudio for Mac users so that they could convert two popular lossless audio formats into more iTunes-friendly ones. Now, xLosslessAudio is available for Windows users. xLosslessAudio takes an entire folder containing audio files that are compressed with FLAC (.flac) or Monkey’s Audio (.ape). Then it will let you convert those audio files into one that is compatible with Windows Media Player and iTunes. The supported export formats include AAC (.m4a), Apple Lossless Audio, MP3, WMA and WAV.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – If you use screen-capture software to record your work, you may not use the entire area of Desktop. In such cases, it’s quite difficult to work blindly within the invisibly-defined area and stay out of boundaries. DeskOne is a small Windows desktop application that lets you visually define a work area in real time while you use screen-capture software or do any work on Desktop. Using DeskOne, you can define a work area with just a click on a button. You can even select a color and change the opacity level of the shadow area.

In fact, we’ve developed DeskOne to satisfy our needs. We use a screen-capture application for Mac to record desktop movements while running Windows OS with VMWare. DeskOne is now our must-use application when we write software manuals.
