Wow! Thank you so much Vic! I can't wait to try this out!

My pleasure Jim 

The program is finished. I'm making initial release in next reply.

Do you think it could use a [Cancel][Apply][OK] button set at the bottom?
After I drew the mockup, I realised I had not included one.

Given the way it's coded you may not need the extra buttons: it auto-enables timers on settings' selection and clears all sound players when clicking off

Let's give a shot @ this version (no problem if you need to add something else after your review)

Cheers!

Developer's Corner / Official icons?

« Last post by publicdomain on September 14, 2019, 01:56 AM »

Hello DC family,

Is there an official DonationCoder icon for use in our programs when linking to the site in the Help/About menu?

Can we simply include the site's Favicon? ( https://www.donation...oder.com/favicon.ico )

Cody perhaps?


Many thanks for the info!

I mean "How long it would take to literally speak this segmentr of text, at an average native speaking rate (possibly variable)"

Super! That's a very clear definition

I'm taking it as soon as the Random Sounds App is done.

Developer's Corner / Re: Bored Developer's Dilemma: What to code and what to code it in?

Hello Asude,

What to code and what to code it in?

What a big thought! Looks like the programming equivalent of “To be, or not to be, that is the question”

Personally, I'd say it depends on the purpose at hand.

If you want to get things done in a quick / time-sensitive manner, then by all means go with whatever language +libraries you are more proficient in. This day and age programming time itself can be said to be more scarce than computing power (gladly!).

If you want to learn, there's usually nothing more productive than the hands-on approach by using your target language to code programs in an increasing difficulty fashion.

This approach is what works for me.

Cheers!
Vic

Hello Stephen, I can take this.

The requirement for the utility to be multilingual is because a lot of what I am checking is in English and Italian.  So with that in mind, only being able to check the spoken time in English would become rather limiting for me.

What do you mean by "SPEAKING TIME"?

This is the only part needing a bit of an explanation. I have a separate word counter for each language in mind, but would appreciate clarification.

Cheers!
Vic
