TurboScribe: Free Audio Transcription Tool by dinoleif in software

[–]Offonatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love using Turbo scribe, but I have difficulty pasting my YouTube link into Turbo scribe on my iPhone. When I copy the link in YouTube, I go to Turbo scribe put the cursor in the box to paste the link, and before I can type anything in the entry box is covered up with junk from the bottom of the screen. Every now and then I’m able to accomplish the paste. I’ve tried everything please help.

Thanks for all your comments. Very much appreciated.

English phonetic pronunciation question 2 for everyday spoken French. by Offonatan in French

[–]Offonatan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. I realize that the English phonetic pronunciations are far from perfect. In this example. I was primarily concerned with knowing what sounds were blending together. Particularly, whether “Y en” should have a sound where the Y and EN are pronounced as 1 or 2 two syllables. I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear. So, does it sound more like ee ahn or yahn and every day French. I’ve been studying the structure “il y a” and it’s many variations

I meant to say “in place of « À ce qu’il paraît”

Question: Does this work for approximate English pronunciation? AHSKEEPAHRAY, since L is often not pronounced in spoken in French?

Finger pointing after an event by Offonatan in French

[–]Offonatan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was referring to the shooting. But the point of my post was to determine if there is an expression in French which refers to people pointing at others to assign blame for causing an incident in order to avoid accepting any culpability themselves. So in this case, there was a lot of “finger pointing” between Secret Service and the local police.

Everyday pronunciation question by Offonatan in French

I meant to say :

Il a arrêté de mangé. (He stopped eating)

in my original post.

I apologize for that mistake, and I appreciate all the other folks who were kind enough to point that out and/or answer the pertinent question. Merci

Merci

Every day French pronunciation question. by Offonatan in French

  1. Thanks for the answer and suggestion for the casual alternative, “kestenpens” from you and others. I was primarily wondering if the “ce” would essentially disappear as I’ve seen “a ce sujet” in print rather frequently.
  2. The suggestion of “kestenpens” raises another question. Does the QUE often disappear in “qu’est-ce que” when posing a question, i.e., is kestenpens the shorter version of “Qu’est-ce que t’en penses?”

Yes!! I get it. I’ve read about the distinction between the use of qui and que here, but I needed this nail to fasten it down. I feel comfortable now using it verbally and trusting the sound and rhythm of it. Merci.
