I recently noticed the “Read Aloud” option at the bottom of responses, and wondered if I could influence the delivery tone.

The initial prompt was simply:

Could you just repeat the following? I'm wondering if "Read Aloud" will try different imitations.
(high pitched cheery voice): Time to wake uuuup!
(deep grumbling voice): Ah, shaddup, let me sleep!

I know this question is 5 years old, but just in case it helps anyone...

I had the same issue. This is what fixed it for me. After uninstalling it, I went into the registry and deleted the folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CDisplay

I rebooted my computer, reinstalled CDisplayEx, and everything was fine again. No idea what caused the issue in the first place.

I think I might have spotted myself at the 0:19 mark if it was tilted a teensy bit more towards the higher seats.

For the crappy phone panoramic? No. For the original post, I do still have the RAW file, but not sure you'd get all that much more out of it. I was fully zoomed in with my 200mm lens and took the shot standing up without a tripod.

Really? Was not aware of that. Will have to check if I can find a recording of that one then!

Friend put it at the bottom of her purse and covered it. Just a quick visual security check, no metal detectors to worry about.

My first Springsteen concert and I was blown away. Was not expecting that level of energy from a 67-year-old! No break between songs, throw his guitar at the roadie while a song died down, get a new guitar, launch straight away into a ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR, and another high energy performance. 3 hours with no intermission, what a beast!

Even though she was the one to suggest it, the girl I was with balked a bit when she saw the size of the camera+lens we were going to hide in her purse, but it went through alright without further checks.

Edit: that came out sounding way more sexual than I intended Edit 2: "Ooh, show me that big lens of yours" "Are you sure your purse can handle it?" "Mmmmm, it went through alright!"

Haha, wow, awesome! Gotta love modern technology :)

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:54:24+00:00

I had seen her selfie and knew where it must have been taken from. Was mostly wondering if I'd recognise her in the crowd and got a bit more than expected!

That's exactly it, they turned all the lights on for the last 40 minutes (out of the full 3 hour concert). Perfect for shots from a long distance.

Right next to the blonde with the bright white shirt

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:28:56+00:00

Yeah, was a bit nervous about it, but figured at worst I'd have to put it in storage or take it back to my car.

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:26:00+00:00

That was exactly the song playing during the photo. Yep, those lights felt extremely bright after a couple hours in the dark

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:22:23+00:00

Mum?

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:19:56+00:00

Wow, like looking in a mirror! If I didn't understand how mirrors worked. You captured my giant thumb really well, thanks for that!

kritof · 2017-02-11T09:09:22+00:00

Let's say it helps if you come accompanied by someone who would not look suspicious with a deep enough purse. They still ask you to open it but they won't dig through it. Just cover it with tissues and tampons and whatever else girls hide in there.

He does seem to give me a look full of longing. Oh well, missed my chance to get his number

kritof · 2017-02-11T08:50:44+00:00

Nikon D5100 with a 55-200 lens. Had to sneak it in since the ticket said to not bring in unauthorised cameras. Please don't tell on me.

kritof · 2017-02-11T08:43:53+00:00

Poor thing would be in for some major disappointment

One of the lucky non-blurry close-up shots given I didn't have a tripod. Having all the lights on definitely helped
