Number To Text : Speech API (SAPI) in Flash?

Script ini saya tulis setelah seorang teman bertanya kepada saya tentang bagaimana cara membuat agar sebuah input berupa angka dapat dirubah menjadi teks. Dan kemungkinan membuat sebuah Speech API (SAPI) dalam Flash. Konsep idenya adalah dengan memanfaatkan Array class dan String class. Jadi outputnya berupa array. Jadi jika kemudian hendak dimunculkan dalam teks tinggal menampilkan output dari array tadi. Khusus untuk sound karena diperlukan time interval untuk selesainya pengucapkan satu kata maka disini saya gunakan SetInterval(). Namun bisa juga sebenarnya menggunakan Sound class misalnya Sound.OnSoundComplete untuk menentukan bahwa 1 kata telah diucapkan.

THE SIMPLER SIDE OF WILLY POGANY

Many people say that the illustrator Willy Pogany (1882-1955) reached the pinnacle of his career with a series of lavish, ornate books including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1910), Tannhauser (1911), Parsifal (1912) and Lohengrin (1913). These books feature spectacular gilt designs on sumptuous leather bindings, elaborate borders on each page, and illuminated initials with hand calligraphed text.Personally, I find them exhausting.I don't think Pogany started getting interesting as an artist until he shed all the regal trappings and learned to simplify.Left alone with just a line and a blank page, Pogany began to produce work of enduring value. Each line becomes more important when you have no fancy endpapers or intricate borders to rescue (or obscure) the quality of your work.Here are a few scans of Pogany's original drawings so you can see his line up close:Even his small, "simple" drawings weren't that simple.Surrounding a picture with fancy embellishments can enhance its appearance, but only to a limited extent. Ultimately, the picture pays a heavy price for that boost; it is harder for a picture to achieve greatness when it is encumbered with all that ornamentation. One of the most important things for an artist is knowing when to stop.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphic editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals."Although originally designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop can also be used for a wide range of other professional and amateur purposes.
The current iteration of the program, Photoshop CS3, was released on 16 April 2007. "CS" reflects its integration with other Creative Suite products, and the number "3" represents it as the third version released since Adobe re-branded its products under the CS umbrella. Photoshop CS3 features additions such as the ability to apply non-destructive filters, as well as new selection tools named Quick Selection and Refine Edge that make selection more streamlined. On April 30th, Adobe released Photoshop CS3 Extended, which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS3 with the addition of capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, and high end film and video users.
