December 12, 2006 * Started to have problems from my computer not able to record *[http://warp.senecac.on.ca/eldavey/CLicKSpeak/intro.htm new intro]December 11, 2006* tried to get an better mic from the LC but the program they installed and drivers Wouldn't work on my computer... Need to reformat... dont have time...* got 4 cool CD's from Moe in AV from Seneca (even though they are for Broadcasting Students)* finished Second tutorial  December 10* Got some valuable feed back from Charles  A few things to consider:1. The tutorial assumes that the user is on Windows XP. Nothing wrongwith that as XP is probably the most prevalent platform and it is what Iuse myself. However, this should be stated when the tutorial is postedso that Mac users don't get confused (they need to install the Javaembedding plugin and FreeTTS). Also, users still on Win2K need toupgrade to SAPI 5. 2. The link shown is explicitly the 1.2 link. That is fine for now, butthere are new versions being rolled out on a relatively frequent basis.Perhaps you can de-emphasize the version number in the tutorial and saysomething simpler like "download the latest bundle pack" and show userswhere to click. I intend to keep the page format the same, so the onlydifference will be the version number from one release to the next. 3. When Firefox restarted, the CLiCk, Speak toolbar did not show up. Myguess is that you had CLiCk, Speak already installed and turned off thetoolbar and so Firefox is remembering that setting. But for most users,the toolbar will show up right after installation. This discrepency mayconfuse some people. December 9 *finished the intro and install I dont like the audio or the intro going to make it more professional *[http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~eldavey/IntroIntall.htm install tutorial] November 28, 2006*Camtasia Studio Missing a driver and I am getting the blue screen of death trying to resolve If I don't find a solution going to look into Microsoft's new free screen recorder.   November 27, 2006*dry run of icons and tts engine* ran into problem with Captivate has a delay  November 26, 2006*First draft of tutorials.*screenshots*dry run of install November 23, 2006 *Met with Janet**She has lots of users that have difficulty using the Multilingual component and asked if a tutorial could be done to show the setup of this feature. *Made an appointment for next week to go over the tutorials.  November 22, 2006*Talked to [[User:melz|Melissa Peh]] and she will be assisting me in recording the final run of the tutorials.*Talked to [[User:Eor|Eva Or]] and she will be assisting me in recording the Multilingual component in Cantonese.   Michael Lau (mylau) is giving me a crash cours course in XULRunner
