NAME

kinetophone - Kinetophone Narration System  

SYNOPSIS

The Kinetophone system provides the following programs:

kinetophone_console -- command line sound recorder

kinetophone_builder -- command line movie builder

kinetophone_narrator -- GUI for narration over still images

kinetophone_vox -- command line narration generator using speech synthesis

 

DESCRIPTION

Kinetophone is a set of programs to provide live audio recording, live voice-over narration, and narration using speech synthesis.  

OPTIONS

Each program has a number of command line options, see the man page for each for details.  

CONFIGURATION FILE

By default, the programs use the common file: ~/.kinetophone for program options. Each Kinetophone program uses options from this file that it recognizes and ignores all others. The location of this file can be changed by using -i or --config on the command line. Options should be specified one per line with the same syntax as the command line except for any leading dashes. For example, when the following line is present in the configuration file:

level-meter-max-width=yes

kinetophone_console the level meter will span the entire terminal width for the Kinetophone console recorder.  

OPTION PRECEDENCE

You may specify (valid) combinations of command line and configuration file options for each program. Command line options override override configuration file options.

 

NOTES

 

DBUS

We are developing an experimental DBus sound recording and narration server, but its functionality and interface is subject to change. The server program is called kinetophone_dbus_server. The source distribution has test clients demonstrating the interface in ./src/dbus.  

LIBRARIES

The Kinetophone system uses the excellent third party libraries Portaudio for sound capture, libsndfile for audio file input/output, gtkmm for the graphical user interface, libxml++ for XML support, Boost for programming support, Poppler for PDF rendering, FFmpeg for video encoding, and Festival for speech synthesis.
