Error code 14001 when installing Audacity
2012/04/27
5 comments
- Symptom: Audacity installation seems to complete without error, but attempting to start Audacity at the end of the installation process results in an error about bad environment with the above error code.
- For your reference: It is has been the missing Visual C++ redistributable installation here in the past on staff computers.
- Solution: Download and install the redistributable, then try restarting Audacity: It should start now.

.How to combine oral cue audio with images in Sanako Study 1200 authoring-tool

- This 100-second authoring tool screencast
shows how to - preview the audio in the authoring tool,
- add an image and
- set its display time on the timeline,
- If you make an error by assigning non-sensible times, the authoring tool helps you by flagging it red:
- save (save frequently, on my Windows-XP SP3 machine, the image display within the authoring tool caused frequent BSODs, seemed video-driver-related).

How to use visual instead of aural cues during a Sanako oral proficiency exam

- This exam file has been authored with the Sanako Study 1200 TBA:authoring tool. It is displayed from the Sanako tutor application:
- images on a projection screen connected to the teacher computer,
- aural portion through the tutor-controlled Sanako student player and headsets.
- To protect the integrity and allow for reuse of the exam, only the initial instruction, example and collection of the results of an exam with visual cues are shown in this screencast
