Description
I created AudioMarker by simply being a master of procrastination.  I got into learning Italian around November 2017 and me being me, decided to create some tools to help me (and subsequently spent weeks doing that instead of actually learning the language).  AudioMarker came out of the procrastination fire pit!.

This software is designed to help those who use Audio learning tools (Things like Pimsleur) keep track of their learning progress and make lists of Native/Foreign words and phrases they have learned during their journey.

Features

    - Please Note:  When opening XLS files exported by AudioMarker, your spreadsheet software will ask you to choose the "separation method" - simply choose "tab" and it will all work smoothly from there.

---
More features coming soon.

Planned Features
See post below this.

Screenshots
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ][ You are not allowed to view attachments ][ You are not allowed to view attachments ][ You are not allowed to view attachments ][ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Usage
Installation
Unzip to a folder you want to store it in.
Run: AudioMarker.exe

Using the Application
Because I designed this as a learning tool, every feature within AudioMarker has "Hover-Over" tooltips, which means anything you're not sure of, just simply hover over it and you will get handy little information tidbits about what things do!

Uninstallation
Delete the folder with AudioMarker stuff in it.

Tips
None as yet.

Known Issues
Audio files MUST be reloaded into the software after opening.  (On my "to fix" list).
Currently, you can only load one "set" of audio files at a time.  (You can load as many as you want, so long as you do them at the same time).  If you try to load more after an initial import, it will overwrite the current file list. (I am going to fix this).
Translation list will add a random empty line at the end of the imported list.  I have absolutely no idea why it does this.  It causes 0 problems though so it's pretty much at the bottom of the "fix this" list.

Known Issues (but FIXED ready for next release)

Yeah I think I'm going to make everything able to be resized by the user so you can choose how big you want each area tbh.  At the moment it is just based on what I needed (when it was just for me), plus the top right logo area (which now I think about it, takes up FAR too much space and could be better used for other things)

The uploaded version has no updater attached to it.  This software is provided as-is and may not work as intended.

Please report any bugs you find on this thread.

YouTube tab has been disabled for the moment as it was too small to be useful and I didn't get around to fixing that yet.

It just occurred to me that I inadvertently bundled images of countries flags within the ZIP.  These files are not required anymore (They were for a feature I decided was utterly useless and subsequently removed) and will be removed on the next upload.  If you don't want them, they are safe to delete (they also account for about half the total file size).

The folder is called "flags", which can be deleted entirely.

IF I can get it working properly, I'll make sure this is in the next release).

Update:
Download moved to Google Drive due to increased file size (owing to Cef.Sharp inflating the number of files contained within the app).

All features that showed as confirmed in the 2nd post have now been released.

You access that by clicking top right, next to the "?"

It's not fully functional yet (I somehow forgot to actually include the ability to save/load those lists.  I'll be adding a list of learning resources at some stage - I'm considering how to do this properly though as there are so many languages and all my current lists are 100% based on Italian stuff lol.  Perhaps I should provide one list (Italian) and just allow people to share their own somehow.  Not sure yet.

OK, Next version has Google and DeepL translations built into the main screen of the software.  At the moment, these tabs take a few seconds to activate but once they have been loaded, they are lightning fast.  I'm trying to speed up the initial loading (or make it obvious it's actually doing something) - hopefully, I'll have that done by the next update.

hi Stephen
just trying this on Windows 7

Looks good --
in the Insert .. phrase fields, I cannot:
# cut or paste using the usual shortcuts
# select all using Ctrl+A (I can use Shift+Hme from end of phrase, so not really bothered by this)

Any chance you could get #1 there working?

Not entirely sure why I didn't add this already :|

As it turns out...it's refusing to work...this should be simple...But...annoyingly...when I get it working in one of the boxes...the other one stops working....give me a little while with this and I'll have it working by next release. :)

Update:

Release Date: 20:32GMT - 30th October 2018
New Features: Export word lists as XLS | Export word lists as HTML
Feature Changes:  Notepad is now a full-popout instead of embedded in the main window.  NB: Notepad does not currently support any of the menu options (save/open and such) - this will be enabled in the next update.

Bug Fixes:  YouTube Popout no longer causes AM to crash | Cut/Copy/Paste/Select All (+ Shortcuts) now work in "Enter words" text boxes.

OK, That's very vague and I can't reproduce it on my side - I hope I fixed it though (literally guessing) - New download link added to original post.  Just an FYI - you need .NET 4.6.1+ (In case that was the issue...who knows at this point).

could well be a NET issue:
windows update says 4.7.2 was successfully installed, but when I check via this:
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP"
it only lists up to version 4.0

Let's see if anyone else with Win.7 tests it (any takers?)

Might be worth giving this a try: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2698555/microsoft-net-framework-repair-tool-is-available

I'm not sure that it WOULD be a .NET issue though as I haven't actually changed anything (that I know of) that would affect it.  In the previous versions, did you manage to load the Google/DeepL translation tabs? (The only things I know of that would potentially be the cause) - I mainly ask because I changed the order of the tabs and Google Translate now opens as the default tab, rather than the (now moved) Notepad.

Post by: KynloStephen66515 on October 30, 2018, 05:02 PM
Further to the above:

Mouser just checked it in a VM and it stated he needs .NET 4.6.1, so it's looking like that may be the issue - He's going to update .NET now and I'll update this once he has/checked if it worked. :)
Title: Re: [NANY 2019] - AudioMarker: Language Learning
Post by: KynloStephen66515 on October 30, 2018, 05:13 PM
OK, Mouser updated to the .NET that AM needs and it loaded fine.

@tomos Can you try extract AM into a completely new folder where there are no previous files and let me know if it works for you then?  If not, the only thing I can think of is that something on your side is messing with AM and causing it not to load (possibly that weird setup you have with .NET there).

Post by: tomos on October 30, 2018, 05:36 PM
No success here -- but I havent looked closer at the NET issue (and wont tonight).

1) original version did load with default tab Notepad, google translate tab worked.
2) tried the most recent version (in a new folder) with same result -- immediately get the "AudioMarker has stopped working etc" message

Will get back to you after I've sorted the NET thing.
Thanks

It's very odd because the only things that I really changed in this version (from the previous) were:

• Added saveFileDialog to HTML_Export function
• Moved Notepad to its own window
• Moved Google Translate to default window
• Added SelectAll/Cut/Copy/Paste to nativeText and foreignText textBoxes

So...I can't honestly figure out what could have possibly changed to cause it to crash on your system.  Mouser suggested it may be a missing file, but as it works fine for him, I don't see how it could be that.

OK, I just downloaded AM onto another laptop, extracted it into its own folder (as you would do) and ran AudioMarker.exe - absolutely 0 problems, ran straight away.  I can only honestly think the fact tomos has updated .NET and it's not showing properly on his system could be the possible cause.

OK, I just downloaded AM onto another laptop, extracted it into its own folder (as you would do) and ran AudioMarker.exe - absolutely 0 problems, ran straight away.  I can only honestly think the fact tomos has updated .NET and it's not showing properly on his system could be the possible cause.

Does that other laptop have visual studio installed?

nope, and to be honest I didn't expect it to have the correct .NET either lol. It was my mrs's laptop and she has 0 device tools installed on it.

I'm going to take a closer look at things when my eyes are working properly. Can't make any promises as I genuinely have no idea how any of the small changes I made with the last update could have affected anything like this.

I have just added an example audio file and word list to the original post (See the big table at the top, just underneath the main download link) :)

Next update contains no major new features but does fix a few things:

• Fixed notepad not having any shortcuts/save/open/new functions.
• Main window now actually notices if you make changes to your word list and will warn you if you haven't saved your list before exiting the application (so you don't lose any work)

--

• Trimmed a huge amount of code that wasn't being used, so the application now starts up a lot faster than it did before (for me at least).

--

Probably gonna add some more stuff before releasing this version - if anybody has any feature requests for the next update, now is the time to let me know :D

Okay, I tried on my desktop which is also Windows 7 Professional.
Same problem :-( **
Desktop had NET 4.7.2 installed already -- are you sure it works with 4.7.2? (I dont know which prior NET versions were installed.)

but when I check via this:
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP"
it only lists up to version 4.0
gives:
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
^this appears to only list round numbers (or 'half-numbers' e.g. 3.5) -- it's possible the existence of '4' and '4.0' suggest that version 4 has been updated.

(Control Panel &) Windows Updates show 4.7.2 NET to be installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4054530)   Installation date: ‎2018-‎08-‎10 16:59   Installation status: Successful

The link you gave for the MS tool to test NET does not say it works with more recent versions of NET -- probalby does. (But not tonight for me.)

Dont worry about this Stephen unless you really want to get this working on 7.
I will continue to test if you want. I was thinking I might be doing something stupid, but with the same problem on two machines... who knows :D

Can you drop the files from this ZIP (attached) in to your AM folder (overwrite the files that are already there) and tell me if this worked - I'd rather not make you download 70MB each time for something I can just throw a couple of files at you for XD

UPDATE ON PREVIOUS ISSUE (BY TOMAS)

Issue has been resolved - turned out Chromium wanted some DLLs I didn't bundle, and wouldn't cause an issue for anybody who happened to have them (other stuff may have installed them for people) - I will be bundling those DLLs with AudioMarker from now on so we won't run into this again!

That's one of the reasons that I hate using external dependencies.  It can be a bugger to tunnel down to find out where the dependency is missing.

Well hopefully now I spent the majority of yesterday adding a crap load of code purely to log any possible errors it runs into, next time I will get something far less vague and be able to work out what's going on without pulling my hair out lol.  It's also unlikely I'll be using any more 3rd party dependencies after this one :D

Hi Stephen, just started trying out your program - looking interesting!
Rather than have long audio file(s), I have very short individual audio files for single words and phrases. I imported about 20 or so files.
I'm having difficulty getting the audio set up ... the only way I seem to be able to get the name of the audio file into the list under "File" is by typing it, and typing the time as 00:00. This can't be right because having done that, if I click on the what looks like a play button at left of the list, nothing happens.

Would it be possible to be able to highlight a media file from the "import media" list and get it entered into the "main" list, with the track time (which I assume is the start time, not duration) set to 00:00 automatically...sort of drag and drop?

Maybe this stuffs up the direction in which you're trying to proceed, in which case, no problem. My usage is as a vocab learner, with emphasis on the sound of individual words (Vietnamese - getting tones right critical)
Thanks
Tony

Any chance you can show me what issues you are having, by means of screenshot?  I can't quite figure out what you mean :)

Thanks for getting back to me.
In the import files list in my screenshot, you can see several mp3 files I've imported. Each is for either one word or a short phrase.
To get to the state you see in the screenshot, I:
1. Imported the media files
2. Typed a native phrase
3. Typed a Foreign phrase
4. Highlighted  "vietnamese_and_you.mp3 in the import media list
5. Clicked "Add To List.

I was expecting to see info for "Track" and "File" filled in, in the relevant columns after step 5.
I was expecting that I'd be able to click on the arrowhead to the left of the "and you" line in the list and the mp3 would play after step 5.

Maybe your program doesn't work like this, I don't know and was asking.
Thanks
Tony

Ahh...I see what you mean.  AM only fills in the track and time info when you have a track playing.  This is purely because it needs a track to be playing in order to know what you want to add, and the time to add to it.  The "Arrow" you mention, isn't anything I have coded myself - it's just a part of the dataGrid you see the info in - that arrow simply selects the line (think of it basically like an Excel file) - It's not a play button  :P  There is no way (at least...none that I know of) to turn that into a play button.  I'd be happy to look though.

I'm actually coding on AM in my spare time as I am having to focus on jobs that are putting money in my pocket (a man has to eat) - so I can't promise any sort of timeline, but I can promise that I will look into it as soon as I can!
