OpenXTalk Forums

It looks like discussion on 'OpenXTalk YouTube Videos' was lost in the mix, so starting a new post. Still waiting on constructive criticism / comments with my 'basic lessons' stack submission featuring text-to-speech. No other candidate stack or video posted. That probably means no interest in the subject, or more likely no interest in making a video for YouTube using my submission. Good idea or bad? Download stack at: viewtopic.php?p=8785#p8785

I meant to post about this, but absolutely got distracted.
There's some great information there that yes - we can use to make youtube videos with, using that as subject material.
However, this requires substantial amounts of time to put together that I just do not have spare.

I suggest non-distracting white background in light mode, steady camera (on tripod?), slow deliberate mouse cursor movements, clean sound. Subsequent lessons could be on different platforms, and in dark mode. Terry

Nor do I have a good microphone, or a tripod (it would be best with screen recording perhaps?), and I'd probably use some form of ai voice if I were putting it together. It's just having the time to do this. I do have an interest in putting this together, but just do not have the free time to devote to it.

I'm all for doing YouTube videos, it would be good to build more presence on YouTube. That's the sort of thing the kids these days like.

I've long wanted to do some update demo videos for some of the things I've worked on. I just don't have the time.

Just a thought though, one could skip the tripod /external camera and just do screen recording with a headset.

Updated Quick Start stack. Still hoping a volunteer will make a YouTube video of the first card using the text-to-speech button "Narrator".
