    Go to the Google search page first and press Settings (bottom or top right). Select the Search Options submenu if you have one.

    Click the Appearance option in the left section of the window to choose whether you want to use the viewfinder in light or dark mode or if the setting adapts to your system settings. The latter implies that the Google interface is always customized to the operating system’s appearance.

    The dark mode is already active after saving the adjustment.

  • How to create a YouTube channel? Tips to get you started

    How to create a YouTube channel? Tips to get you started

    Many people think that the life of a content creator is just a game or a fairy tale, but behind the scenes, an influencer’s life looks very different. In this article, we will show you how you can start your journey on becoming a youtube influencer by building a youtube channel.

    We discussed in our previous article the aspects that should be considered for anyone who wants to start a podcast to share their thoughts with the world. This time we dream big and add visuals to the audio experience. Channels that have been producing quality content continuously since YouTube’s early days have gained millions of followers. Some say that the market is so saturated that there is no point in getting started because you are just lost among millions of videographers. Still, week after week, a channel can run up from one moment to the next, either thanks to the perfect strategy or the lucky combination of coincidences.

    Of course, the latter cannot be influenced. Something can happen at any time that will get a lot of people to your channel (for example, a famous influencer mentions you on some surface) or even drag the statistical indicators into the depths (for example, the YouTube algorithm changes and your content reaches only a fraction of the previously usual mass). At the same time, if you do everything yourself to succeed and use the best tricks, your chances may multiply.

    According to a 2020 statement, more than half of the world’s population already uses social media. Since the pandemic began, spending time on social media has doubled among adults. They have opened up faster than average to new platforms, and the number of YouTube viewership hours has been overgrowing. The volume of channels with more than one million subscribers already doubled in 2018 compared to the previous year. By the beginning of 2019, the platform had surpassed two billion monthly active user base. It is currently the second most popular search engine in the world. So while it’s true that channels are increasing, there are more potential viewers, and if trends remain, video-sharing can grow incomprehensible over the next five to ten years.

    Therefore, if someone takes his time now, then in a few years he will have a good chance of re harvesting the fruits of his work.

    Who’s going to watch?

    Before you get started, it’s essential to identify the target group you want to address. It doesn’t matter what age and interests you want to make videos for because if your goal is to attract interest, you’ll need to tailor the content to them. If you’re wondering what channel to make, it’s best to choose the one you’d like to watch yourself. Consequently, you can deal with topics that interest you in video anyway, i.e., you connect the pleasant with the useful, and there is a level of quality that you want to hit right away. It’s easier to find common ground with your viewers for people with similar interests. Don’t just start a “How to Raise Your Tamagochi” channel because it’s spinning on YouTube right now. If you don’t enjoy videotaping, viewers will notice, and they’ll be looking for different entertainment in a short time.

    Create a YouTube channel.

    If you have a Google Account, chances are you already have a YouTube channel. Of course, it’s not necessarily a good idea to sacrifice your profile for this, and it’s much better to create a separate channel. Of course, it can still run under your name, but as with podcasts, it’s a better idea to come up with a name. It makes it easy to deduce what content the viewer encounters, but it also doesn’t limit you if you expand your portfolio in the future. If you are building a brand or if more than one person manages the channel, it is recommended that you immediately choose a “business” account. In this case, you can log in with your email address and grant editorial rights to others. It is recommended that you make the most important settings from the very beginning. Upload a profile picture and banner, enter an email address as contact information, and attach a brief description so that anyone who strays into your channel can see what they’re dealing with right away.

    You can lynch your most important profiles from other social media sites, but more importantly, provide the channel with the right keywords, as it’s the easiest way for potential viewers to find you.

    Design your content!

    Coming up with a new video week after week is not easy. Of course, sometimes you come up with a brilliant idea out of nowhere and implement the concept right away, but it’s much better to plan for the long term from the beginning and collect the potential videos you want to make anyway. You can then constantly expand this list, and if you scroll through it in front of you, there will always be something to touch, even when you’re not thinking about anything topical. Don’t make content just because you have to: if you’re forced to sit in front of the camera, it’ll show you the result, but if something used to seem like a good idea, chances are you’ll be happy to pick it up later.

    If you create a channel just for your entertainment, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re contenting about. Still, if you see YouTube as a career opportunity, a potential livelihood, you’d be better off choosing a niche theme with many untapped potentials. YouTube is a massive search engine, and 65 percent of users go to the platform not only because they have a few extra hours but also to get answers to your questions. In many cases, the viewer does not care who is talking, and it is more important what he says. That’s why search-optimized content, such as tests and reviews, is scorching. When we have questions about a product, we listen to other people’s accounts on the subject.

    Perhaps even more popular are the versus videos, in which two similar products are compared. Whether it’s a TV, hiking boots, or frozen green beans, many people can’t decide between two similar products, and they’re looking for videos whose creator took the time to compare them to make the decision easier.

    Are they videotaped to a phone?

    What tools you need to shoot depends on what content you want to produce. Many people think there is no point in getting started without an expensive camera, but surprisingly, image quality is not the most important thing. On the one hand, even though you’re shooting hyper-super 4K HDR video, YouTube’s compression algorithm will degrade quality anyway. On the other hand, 50 percent of the videos you watch are from your phone regardless. Of course, there is content that is good for you if it is tossed with beautiful clippings, but – perhaps surprisingly for many people – the image quality is only secondary. The most important thing is that the sound is okay. If we don’t understand what we’re saying because we hear the neighbor coughing, buzzing, our microphone sizzling, then the audience will turn us off before we say hello.

    You can take quality shots with a mid-range phone’s camera, but you can’t get a microphone. Depending on the content, you also have plenty of options: you can work with a camera-mounted rifle microphone or a rifle microphone that can be placed somewhere outside the frame so that it doesn’t interfere with the image and movement at all, you can get a micro port that you can pinch on your clothes, but if you’re sitting at a table making talking head videos, you can use a desktop microphone to record audio. If your camera doesn’t have a microphone input, you’ll need a separate recording unit, a dictaphone (like Zoom H1), or a computer for shooting.

    It also applies to podcasts, so that you can have any professional microphone, if you’re trying to shoot in a large, empty, parquet room, the best microphone will also make echo recordings. With furniture that breaks straight surfaces, carpets and curtains that dampen the sound, you can improve the end result a lot.

    What image you can extract from your camera depends mainly on the lighting conditions in the rotation. Suppose you’re sitting in a dark room, or the sun is setting right behind you on the window, or you’re trying to light up with a room chandelier illuminated from the worst angle. In that case, you won’t be able to make demanding videos with your $1 million cameras. Conversely, if you illuminate yourself or your subject with a few principles in mind, you can also take very spectacular shots with a penny phone or webcam. Low light is the biggest enemy of cameras, but you don’t have to pack the studio with twenty-seven RGB LED lights and massive reflectors. To light a starter set, you can get entry-level devices for up to a few thousand forints.

    Editor required

    Proper editing of videos is as necessary as the raw material itself. There are plenty of cutting programs, from the free Davinci Resolve to the easy-to-use Sony Vegas to the adobe premiere pro used by the pros. The great advantage of the latter is that it is infinitely easy to transfer animations from After Effects, photoshop to images to your project. Still, the monthly subscription fee is quite busy.

    The content determines the ideal length of a video. Once you reach the YouTube partnership, you can add extra ads to videos longer than 8 minutes, but don’t just submit your videos if you can tell the same story in 3 minutes anyway. There is plenty of free courses and video series available on the Internet where you can learn to cut in detail and understand even the most minor tricks that throw a lot at quality, but the most important thing is to create your style. It’s best to figure out how you want to build the story before filming, so you won’t be shooting unnecessary material, but don’t be afraid to cut out parts if they don’t add you to the video. You may have shot 10 minutes of very spectacular material with a drone from a height. Still, if you don’t add it to the story, it breaks the video momentum, stretches unnecessarily long, and makes the material dull. It’s going to be much better for viewers, and so indirectly for you, if you use as much of it as is justified.

    Consistency continuity is the most important thing. You don’t have to make daily videos, but if viewers know they can expect new videos every week, they’ll watch them over and over again. Most people start the video as a hobby project with a school or full-time job, so it’s essential to divide your time well and not Overstreet but make sure the content is regular because it will attract more and more viewers.

    Get started before you feel ready.

    Of course, no matter how much you can prepare, plan, learn, there will always be new challenges that you will face. Things you don’t think about, whether technical or personal. Some people talk very well in front of crowds on a stage, but they freeze in front of the camera because they don’t have that practice. Or he realizes on the fly that he doesn’t want to do this, and he doesn’t want to do it that way. That’s why it helps a lot to think carefully about things, the budget for technology, your schedule, and the content structure, but you don’t wait for the perfect moment. You start as soon as possible. You may see the concept entirely differently after the first shoot.

    With the half-finished project, feel free to sit in front of the camera, press the recording button, and see what’s going on, where the weakest points are. And in the future, try to be just a little bit better every week. It is enough to improve on one thing at all times, whether it is image quality, sound, polishing, environment, storytelling, or editing. If you can continuously improve, viewers will see and appreciate it. You don’t want to start ideally, but try to eliminate all mistakes over time.

  • How to make Google Translate even more accurate

    How to make Google Translate even more accurate

    Google Translate has turned on up-to-date features for all users, making it even more convenient and multifaceted to use and easier to guess for accurate translation.

    Anyone who has read the essential work “The Galaxy Guide for Hitchhikers” by Douglas Adams must know the Babel fish. The fictional creature lives in a person’s ear and feeds on brain waves, and the side effect of its parasitism is that it transmits the spoken text from any language to its master’s language.

    [ads1]

    While we’re not close to a solution of this level, Google Translate has been around for a long time and helps people who don’t know a language at all, but it’s also good for you to get stuck with an expression while translating from your wellhead.

    Of course, languages are more complicated in terms of, for example, style or meaning nuances, and this “human factor” is not always handled well by the software. Still, with new options, we get even closer to perfection.

    Some of the new features that have just been released have already been available for some users as a live test, but now they can be used by everyone, and it is worth paying attention to them.

    The image shows the version that can be used in the desktop browser, accessed at translate.google.com. Here we marked the basic service with point 1, which is probably already known to many people: enter the word or phrase you are looking for to the left, and on the right, you will see a counterpart translated into the selected language. Some may still not know, but if you copy the title of a website rather than a word to the left, Google Translate will translate it all while keeping the page structure approximate. However, there are quite a few novelties. Let’s look at these!

    In the area indicated by number 2, you can get detailed help with the given word. On the one hand, we can see the original word’s meaning in a sentence. Below it, we can see synonyms, which on the one hand, can also help us understand the term (if we already know more of the above) and help us avoid word repetitions in a more demanding way.

    If a word can occur in multiple roles, such as nouns and verbs, you can break them down into a detailed analysis and a list of words with similar meanings.

    Section 3 can further refine our results and thus our vocabulary. It shows the peers of the translated word to the same sense and uses a field of three to indicate how often the term is used in the language you are looking for. This way, you can translate more colorfully and assortedly, but you can avoid leaving outdated words rarely used in the text.

    [ads2]

    Finally, next to number 4, you’ll see a new button that opens a new window where you can upload entire documents. Currently, you can use files with .doc, .docx, .odf, .pdf, .ppt, .pptx, .ps, .rtf, .txt, .xls, and .xlsx extensions.

    We’ve also glanced at how well documents are formatted, and it’s doing pretty well. Okay, he shot a little bit with the dog gum and the baker’s shovel, but we were going to go for it in the text, and we were talking about examples like this before when we talked about the human factor of translation.

    In any case, you can see that Google Translate is heading in a pretty good direction, which of course, we still don’t leave blindly important texts to, but as a help, it has become more diverse and convenient. The mobile app version of the service did not include all the changes at the time of the article (we have not yet found the translation of documents and the frequency of words, but the detailed explanatory and thesaurus lister is now available).

  • How to Add Dropbox (or other cloud services) to Windows Send to Menu

    How to Add Dropbox (or other cloud services) to Windows Send to Menu

    If you’ve added dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive to files and receive secure files, you can add them to Window Send to Menu

    If you use Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive to share and back up files, you can add them to the Send to Windows shortcut menu to move files faster.

    We’ll show you how to add these features to the Send shortcut menu in File Explorer (or Windows Explorer in Windows 7) so you can quickly send files from your computer to cloud accounts. Here we use Dropbox as an example, but the same procedure works for Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, and most cloud services that create a sync folder on your computer.

    1. Open File Explorer, type the following path in the File Explorer address bar, and then press Enter:

    % APPDATA% Microsoft Windows SendTo

    2. To add Dropbox, you must install the Dropbox desktop client on your computer in the Send menu if you haven’t done so yet. After you install Dropbox, you should see a Dropbox sync folder in File Explorer. You may need to scroll down the left pane to view it. Make sure you don’t click any other folder or drive in the left panel.

    3. When you add Google Drive or iCloud Drive, you also need to install these desktop clients. If you’re running Windows 10 or 8.1, OneDrive is included. If you’re using Windows 7, you’ll need to install the OneDrive desktop client.

    4. Right-click and hold down the Dropbox folder in the left pane of File Explorer, and then drag it to the SendTo folder.

    5. When you release the mouse button, you’ll see ways to move, copy, or create a shortcut. Create a shortcut, so choose “Create shortcuts here” on the pop-up menu.

    6. In Windows 10, “Shortcut” is added to the shortcut, and we prefer to enter only the name of the cloud service. To change the shortcut name, select the shortcut file, and then press F2. Then change the name and press Enter. Windows 7 does not add “Shortcut” to the end of the file name of the shortcut.

    7. Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive can be added to your SendTo menu folder just as much if they’re not already there. If you have other sync folders for other cloud services, you can add them the same way.

    8. Now, when you right-click a file or folder, you can send it to the Dropbox folder or to google drive, onedrive, or iCloud Drive.

    9. If you want to send a file or folder to a specific folder in your Dropbox account (or other cloud service account), you can add that folder to the Send menu. In our example, we add the HTGArticles folder from our Dropbox account to the SendTo shortcut menu folder in the same way as the main cloud services folders.

    10. Now, when you want to send a file or folder to your Dropbox account folder, right-click the file or folder, and then click the folder name on the Send shortcut menu. You can also add folders from other cloud services, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud Drive.

  • Yandex Mail SMTP Server Settings

    Yandex Mail SMTP Server Settings

    The Settings for the Yandex Mail SMTP servers are required to send mail from a Yandex.Mail account through an email client.

    Although you can use your account online through Yandex’s website, you use the settings below to link the email to an offline program. This will let the email program know how to access your account and send messages.

    Don’t forget to use Yandex mail POP3 settings, too, so you can download/download your email.

    Tip: If you want to view your emails on your mobile phone or another mobile device, you will probably almost certainly use IMAP from Yandex.Mail.

    Yandex Mail SMTP Server Settings

    These are the different options you need to imitate in this program to send messages through your Yandex.Mail account:

    • Yandex.Mail SMTP server address: smtp.yandex.com
    • Yandex.Mail SMTP username: Totally Yandex.Mail email address (including @ yandex.com )
    • Yandex.Mail SMTP password: Your Yandex.Mail password
    • Yandex.Mail SMTP Port: 465
    • Yandex. Mail SMTP TLS / SSL desired: Yes
    • Yandex. Mail SMTP STARTTLS desired: no.
  • How to Install Google Play on a Huawei Phone

    How to Install Google Play on a Huawei Phone

    Although there is, of course, still no official solution, a new and relatively simple way to install Google apps, including the Play Store, on Huawei phones without GMS arrived a few weeks ago.

    Importantly, this is not an official method, and everyone should try it at their own risk. It’s supposed to work right now, but there’s no guarantee it will work later. The app’s source for the installation is unknown, and Google probably doesn’t like such loopholes.

    If, despite the above, you do give it a try, you should do the following:

    1. The first step is to download the Chat Partner app from this link, 147 MB.
    2. Install and then run the app and select detect device -> Repair Now -> then click Activate the Device Administrator window.
    3. Restart your mobile, and the Google Play Store is supposed to work. Sign in with your Google Account and then delete the Chat Partner app.

    If you receive an error message that your device doesn’t have a Play Protect certificate, try following the steps.

    The method is reported to work (or worked) for Huawei P40 Lite, Mate 30 Pro, and Y7p models, but in theory, it could be suitable for any Huawei phone that came on the market without GMS.

    However, we don’t know how long it will be usable, nor how reliable it is, so we advise everyone to avoid it. It’s only worth buying a new Huawei phone without GMS for someone who doesn’t stick to Google’s apps.

  • How to Register and Sign in to Netflix with 1 Month Free Trial

    How to Register and Sign in to Netflix with 1 Month Free Trial

    Registration is no more than a minute and a half, and this even includes pre-registering your credit card for the data. In addition, the last activity is only necessary to be safe, because the first month is completely free.

    Since the user interface is not yet available in English, we will quickly take our readers through the initial steps and the different ways of using it.

    The easiest way to register is to try it on a PC and visit the netflix.com page in any browser, immediately allowing us to start the free month. Let’s click the button, and we can do it.

    [ads1]

    Then select the monthly rate plan that you want to use. As we have already written in the article announcing the domestic release, we have three options. The basic package offers low-resolution playback for a fee of 8 euros. We can only use Netflix on one device at a time. The €10 standard package allows simultaneous use of 2 devices and HD streaming, and the premium package for €12 invites you to use four devices and play Ultra HD/4K.

    Let’s choose the package we like. Here we can still go for the most expensive one since the first month is free, and the system will send us a warning e-mail a few days before the end of the first month, and we will still have the opportunity to make a change (as we do at any time during use).

    Here comes the e-mail address and password. The more masochistic ones can subscribe to a newsletter, but fortunately, this is not mandatory.

    Here’s what usually scares subscribers to the free trial: Netflix asks for your payment method details. This can be a traditional credit card or PayPal account. Relax, we’re not burdened with anything here yet, and we need to provide the data for verification to prove that we’re not some “trial month-dizzying” scammer. As we wrote, a few days before the first billing, the service provider sends an e-mail, at which point we can even switch plans or cancel the subscription.

    Next, there are a few screens that you can use to set up your profile. Among other things, you need to specify on which devices you will be watching Netflix, and here you can choose a smart TV, PC, mobile device, or some game console. It’s a good idea to add all of them initially, and of course, you can change that later.

    It’s also an excellent feature to add multiple people who are then treated separately by Netflix, so if your girlfriend is constantly watching a girly series, you can do so in your profile, and that doesn’t affect our uber-bear recommendations. If there are children in the family, you can add them with a separate “kids” setting to hide the content that is not recommended for smaller ones.

    We need to enter three series or films close to our interests for the first time. That’s how Netflix tries to figure out what content to recommend to us. Even with the first three tips, this was pretty good, with several titles I look at or like. Later, as a result of our real-life viewings, the referral system is further refined.

    From there, you will go to the main menu, where you will be automatically transferred after all other entries. You can see categories of content from comedy to horror to movies. If you hover over the title you’re interested in, you’ll see a summary (Title, rating, age rating, number of seasons for a series, and a brief description). When you click on one, the playback starts.

    The resolution is automatically adjusted to your device (and, of course, your package). On the bottom control strip, you can use the first icon on the right to jump to the next movie/episode, press the following icon to choose between episodes, click the language of the broadcast and subtitle, and then turn on full-screen mode. Netflix remembers where we left off. All of them are there, and once you’ve watched an episode, you can click on the series in the main menu to play the next part.

    Of course, don’t miss your mobile devices, phone, or tablet, because one of the magic of Netflix is that you can take your little TV with you from the office to the restroom. The Netflix app is now available for Android in the Play Store and iOS.

    When you start the app, you only need to sign in once and remember your login details if you want. From here, you can choose between movies and series in the same way, except that the icons and signals you know on your PC are grouped differently. If you’ve left a film on a PC or TV, it’ll start it in the right place from your mobile.

    What about the TVs? The easiest thing to do is for those who have some smart TV, have recently appeared in their app offerings, or a good cause, the Netflix app will appear. They don’t have anything to do separately. They start it up and browse the movies. There are several ways to try those with fewer smart TVs or are not yet available.

    The easiest way is for your TV to transfer wirelessly, in which case you can press the small “WiFi rectangle” icon at the top right of the Netflix mobile app and select your device to send the broadcast to it. We can use it from here on out as if it were running on the TV itself.

    If your device can’t transfer data on its own, you might want to get a small device like a Chromecast for $100,000. You already have an ” external TV driver ” by placing this in the HDMI connector on your TV and downloading the Chromecast app to your phone, and you already have an “external TV driver.” From now on, Netflix broadcast from your phone only needs to target the Chromecast, and the broadcast will appear on the screen.

  • How to create a Verified PayPal Account in Ghana and use Mobile Money to Add Funds in 2021

    How to create a Verified PayPal Account in Ghana and use Mobile Money to Add Funds in 2021

    In this whole make-money-on-the-internet thing, the best moment is when you can buy something with the money you earn online or transfer money home to your real bank account. Buying online is very easy. Search for the coveted product and pay with the funds in your e-bank account. The most accepted payment method for online shopping is PayPal. I’ve also bought it a lot of times on eBay, and it is simple.

    What is Paypal?

    PayPal is the most common means of online payment, one of the most extensive online financial services globally. We can pay for almost anything in any webshop and marketplace using PayPal. It’s a perfectly safe, convenient solution, and it also offers a bunch of extras that would be a shame to give up if we ordered from China.

    Why is it good to have a Paypal Account?

    PayPal is nothing more than an online payment system based on an existing banking infrastructure that allows online store operators to receive money quickly and securely and users to make easy payments. It is worth using a webshop operator because it is easy to set up a payment system that can even bill. The advantage is that the purchase does not involve any extra cost, and the transactions can be canceled on the user side. This means that if we did not receive the ordered product or did not receive what we expected, the PayPal system will “collect” the amount from the seller.

    Using this system, even internet fraudsters can be bypassed, as no matter what the amount, you get it back if the other person doesn’t. And as I mentioned, it’s all free. The tiny nuisance lies in the seller paying the transaction fees from which the system is maintained. This ranges from 1.9 to 3.4% per transaction. The more transactions made, the less commission you will have to pay.

    How to Add Funds to your Paypal Account using Mobile money?

    I’ve had many people contact me to ask how they can add funds to their PayPal account in Ghana. Many services have become available in 2021 that can make this possible. I’ll show you how to do this, so kindly read the article carefully below to set it up with Palmpay.

    Requirements

    • Palmpay Account
    • Registered Sim card with Mobile money (MTN Momo, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo)
    • National ID or Passport

    What is Palmpay?

    Palmpay is a fast money transferring service that supports Mobile money transfers and has data purchases. The real reason I’m recommending Palmpay is that they offer Virtual Credit cards. Virtual Credit cards are digital credit cards instead of physical cards. So it’s straightforward to set up and load money onto it. Follow the steps below to get started.

    How to set up a Palmpay Account?

    1. First of all, you will need to register for an account on Palmpay. Click on this link to register. Enter your details in the registration form. Mobile number, Captcha code, Verification code sent to your number, First name, Last Name, Set a PIN code and click on Sign up.
    2. Now download the App from the play store or AppStore and log in with your credentials. You will be brought to the Dashboard of Palmpay. Click on the hamburger menu on the right top side.

    3. Now go to the section where it says upgrade Account. Here, you need to screenshot your National, Voter’s ID, or Passport. After that, take a clear selfie, input your ID number, First name, and Last name, and select the Country which is Ghana

    4. Your profile will be verified in a few hours, but sometimes 24 hours if there needs to be additional verification. Once your profile has been upgraded and verified. You will notice your account now has a Virtual Credit card. Now tap on FUND and load a small amount onto the card, about GHS 7-10. This is needed to add the card to your PayPal account

    5. Now that you have funded your Virtual card. Tap on the (eye) icon inside the VCC to reveal the Virtual Credit card number and CVV.

    6. Go to your PayPal account and select Debit or Credit Card.

     

    7. Enter the Virtual Card number, Expiration date, and CVV, and enter the billing address. The billing address will be the address you used for your PayPal account. The card will successfully be added, and a verification code will be sent to your email or phone number you used to register for Palmpay

    In my case the code is PP* 3489 beside Description

    8. Once your Palmpay Virtual Credit Card is linked, you can use it to send funds and receive funds to your Paypal account.

    Now, whenever you want to add funds to your PayPal account, go to your palmpay account and load money onto your Virtual Credit Card. Then go to your PayPal account and send money to anyone. It’s that easy.

  • How to easily extract audio from movies and video files

    How to easily extract audio from movies and video files

    Have you ever seen a fantastic piece of the soundtrack? Like me, when I watched “Into the Wild,” it sounded terrific. Wouldn’t it be great if we could create an MP3 file on our computer to play?

    As long as we don’t infringe on copyrighted material, there is a wide range of audio extraction tools that can be used to create digital audio files from video for this purpose. AoA Audio Extractor is a powerful tool for converting video to audio files.

    AoA – Audio Extractor is an easy-to-use audio extraction tool that supports a variety of formats, including avi, mpg, dat (VCD), Flv (Flash Video), mp4 (Windows Media File), 3gp, asf, and WMV.

    Add files

    Click the Add Files button and locate the desired video file with AoA Audio Extractor’s built-in file browser.

    If you want to add more files, you can use Windows keyboard shortcuts ( CTRL + A, Shift + cursor up / down )

    How to configure

    Select the audio format you want to convert in the Output Settings section. Keep the default MP3 format if you are not sure what to do.

    Then set the audio sampling rate to 44100 to make the files as compatible as possible with the hardware and CD burning software, which sometimes has problems more significant than the 44100.

    How to extract

    Set an output folder to save audio files with the Browse button. Click Start to start the extraction process.

    Alternative software

    Alternatively, you can use Pazera Free Audio Extractor, a free application that allows you to extract audio files from video files without compromising audio quality. Files can also be converted to MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, FLAC, OGG, or WAV format. It supports almost all video formats such as AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, VOB, and a few more.

    To extract the sound, all you have to do is drag and drop the video file. Select the appropriate profile from the list in the main window and click the CONVERT button. If the sound quality is poor, increase the audio bitrate, and it can only work perfectly.

  • How to create a list of all the items in a folder on Windows 10?

    How to create a list of all the items in a folder on Windows 10?

    The index is always helpful, and sometimes you need folders for it. Nothing stops you from creating a list of files and folders; copies and pastes many file names into a text file. If you are looking for an easier way to make all the items in a folder, enter the Folder Manifestation test.

    The Folder Manifest will perform the primary task of creating a list of all the items in a folder. Still, it also has additional features that can add further information, such as the date and time and the size of the items next to it. The only thing you don’t do is create a text file to export everything. In the end, you have to copy the entire list to a text file, but it’s still less tedious and time-consuming than having to do it for each file.

    List of items in the Folder

    Download and install the Manifest Folder. This adds a handy option to the Folder’s context menu. Right-click the folder in which you want to create an item list and select Folder Manifest.

    The application opens all the lists of folders. If some items, such as subfolders, are missing, ensure that “Show subfolder names” are enabled. Additional options can be helped with file and folder names: a timestamp, a size stamp, and the full path to the files and folders in it. This is optional, so you can select “File Name Only” and then copy everything to a text file in the pane.

    When you open the application, you can click the change button and select the desired Folder to create an index. If you have added new files and folders to the Folder chosen, click “Refresh,” The application will load a new list of items.

    The Folder Manifest can list all file folders but does not list the names of the subfolders. To work around this, try the “Full path list” option. It adds the full path to each item, allowing you to tell which files are in another folder and at the root of the Folder.

    Folder Manifest is a reasonably old app and doesn’t seem innocent, which is a shame. You can do this by exporting to a simple text file.
