Give your favorite children’s book an audible soundtrack. via instructables
In this Instructable you’re going to record your own voice and make a personalized childrens’ book! It’s a really fun project and makes a special keepsake or gift.
In this example I’m using the timeless classic Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (HarperCollins Publishers), but of course you can use any book you like.
To make a personalized audio book, you’ll need a way to record your voice and edit the sound files. This can be done simply with your webcam and a free audio editor. You’ll also need the electronics for storing and playing back your recorded audio. To do this I’m using Foxonix, which is an awesome, easy-to-program platform for playing audio and controlling the program.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
