6 Text To Speech Companies Leading The Industry
Can you tell the difference between a human voice actor and a synthetic voice using text-to-speech technology? Before you answer, you’ll want to...
We just launched our new Videate Chrome Extension that allows you to automatically create UI selectors directly from your application. Think of a selector as a pointer to a specific UI element in your app. Sounds techie and you may ask, “why is this so important?”
Simply stated, this eliminates the need for us to help you remediate errors when the video rendering engine can’t figure out exactly what to do next. You can now quickly fix any missing data or navigation anomalies yourself and continue rendering the video. It speeds up video production by another order of magnitude.
When you upload a document to Videate, we try to automatically create these selectors for you. But sometimes there are ambiguities and the new Videate Chrome Extension (VCE) allows you to use your application to generate Videate instructions that can be pasted into your source documents. Prior to this, you (or we) would have used the browser developer tools to identify which selector to use. We have now removed another barrier to the self-service model.
As you can see in the picture above, you can choose from five different formats to create the exact annotation you need depending on your document source.
When you right-click on an element, we highlight the selection in the color you choose, save the specific instruction in the specified format, and copy it to your clipboard (in addition to displaying it in a toast message in our application). You can then paste the generated instruction into your source document so it will know exactly what to do in the future with every new release.
Here are a few use cases where the VCE comes in handy:
If you have a new UI project coming up in the next few months, or want to make videos in other languages, or just went through a merger (new company name) or product name change, it’s a good time to consider a proof of concept with Videate. We now use VCE with every POC as well.
Download the Videate Chrome Extension. It's the next “Big Thing” for automated video production!
