What is the cURL command request to generate an mp3 text-to-speech file? - text-to-speech

I am not a dev. I'm looking to generate synthetic voices for digital books which I am creating. I would really appreciate some help with the following. After inputting the curl command, what is the next step to generate a sound file? I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to proceed. Thank you.

You can generate audio files from text on your own desktop, depending on which OS your are running:
MacOs: MAC's "say" command to MP3
Ubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/178736/generate-mp3-file-from-espeak
Windows: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search?q=text+to+audio (warning: store downloads on your own risk)
If you have a server running, you may use the server to generate the audio:
php: eSpeak to mp3 in php on both windows and linux (online text-to-speech)
nodejs: text to audio file on node.js
python: How can I convert text to speech (mp3 file) in python?

Installing chrome OS on an iMac

http://zzsethzz.blogspot.de/2013/02/install-chromium-upgrade-it-to-chrome.html
According this tutorial, I should remove all HDDs I do not want to install chromium OS to during install. I wanted to try this guide on my imac using an external SSD for chromeos. Obviously, removing the HDD isn't an option. Will the chromiumOS installer format my mac drive too, if I don't remove it?
AS the writer of that tutorial I can hopefully help you. When you install Chromium OS to begin with you can specify where to install to if you know your unix commands well enough. and then from there you can update to Chrome OS once you have your external working for you.
To find out what your hard drive is when connected, open a terminal (you may need to use a developer terminal) and use the command "fdisk -l" This will list your hard drives. for example /dev/sda1 etc...
Your install command would be "Install /Dev/sda1" but replace the dev part with whatever your hard drive was listed as. If you need further help email me at admin#xiaorishu.co.uk

Install SQL Developer mac osx 10.9.1

i'm trying to install Oracle's SQL Developer in my macbook pro OSX 10.9.1 but I can't understand how to do it. I download a .gz file which I unzip to get an installer but all I have is an unknown file called sqldeveloper-4.0.0.13-1.80-macosx. It is not a .dmg or something so i don't know what to do whith it.
I've read that i'm supposed to run over the extracted directory something like sh sqldeveloper.sh from the terminal but that file isn't there, just the one mentioned above.
thanks
Extraction problem, "The Unarchiver" utility produced the unknown file, I decompressed the file download from Oracle's website with the Archive Utility and I got the installation file

Encoding Videos In cloud Using Linux scripts or some softwares installed on linux

I want to encode the videos, which user uploads, similar to youtube which transforms whatever video type you upload to flv, mp4,webm . Because i can only play webm,html5 video in my Webapp
So i need to do this thing. I have tried www.zencoder.net But thats costly for me, because i have to encode too much videos most of the time.
Is there any solution, how this can be done, I have ubuntu 12.04 server ,I think this could be done by scripting or just parsing videos to already installed encoding software, But dont know how to pass the videos to encoder, And what encoder should i install on my linux.
I am using php as server side language in my cloud storage website
You can do this by encoding the videos with FFmpeg.
On the command line you could use:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 file.mp4.avi
You can use ffmpeg-php with PHP to get some ffmpeg features. But it looks like you will have to use the command line with the php exec function.
$fileToFlv="/var/www/test/input.wmv";
$fileFlv="/var/www/test/test.flv";
exec("/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i ".$fileToFlv." -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x256 ".$fileFlv);

Server side solution to convert PDF to SWF?

I've found some tools that can convert PDF to SWF, but I'm hoping to find something or even a library to be able to be able to incorporate this on the server to be able to store the SWF in a database.
Have you tried SWFTOOLS? On Debian/Unbuntu:
sudo apt-get install swftools
pdf2swf filename.pdf
http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/Examples#pdf2swf
They have a Windows version, and the source so you can compile it on other Linux flavors.
