How to get the RealTime Typing effect in Gimp

If you have ever been on tumblr then you have seen at least one of those post, that has the text, that is typing actively. Well, it is very easy to do in Gimp, but it might take some time, if you really have a long quote or sentence you want to say.

Open up Gimp

Make sure you have the Toolbox and Layers box open, and if the layers box is not open, hit Windows->Dockable Dialogs->Layers

Create a New Image->New->specify size you want and Click OK

Next, you will add Text and word that you want, but for right now, kind make it a short phrase to get the hang of it and to see your result.

For this tutorial I will use "Please Follow My Blog For More!"

Typed the First letter of your word or phrase and then press duplicate layer and make sure it is selected

Then go click in the middle of the text box and add the second letter of your word or phrase them click close(Keep repeating this until you get to the last letter of your word or phrase.

Once you get to the last letter of your phrase, Go to Filters->Animations->Playback

A window should pop up that looks like this

Next you can also change the speed by clicking on the down arrow in the bottom-left hand corner of this window. Once done, close it out

Now if you want to save this, Go to File->Save as and a window will pop up like this:

Add a name for your file, at the bottom click save file type as and Make sure you click Gif and click save

Then you will get another window that says export file, then click save as animation and click export

Open it with a browser of your choice and see your finished result.

Etekcity Digital Voice Recorder & MP3 Player with Built-in Magnetic Lapel Clip and 3.5 mm Audio Jack (8 GB, Black)

I received this recorder in exchange for my unbiased and hones review. BUILD: The first thing I said when I received this recorder was that ….this thing is super duper small, obviously in the pictures it looked a whole lot bigger, but no biggie. What I love about this thing is that it is very compact and has a clip that I could clip to my shirt or pants pocket and I love this. It has a play/pause button, on/off switch, save/record switch, mode selection used for switching between music and recording and a headphone jack to listen to the recording or listen to music and also this is an mp3 player as well which is a double plus. It has 8gb of storage. This also comes with a usb charging/sync cable as well. Sound: I tested out the recording part, and the audio was decent except for the background noise….well I had a fan and air conditioner running in the background but this was nothing a little audacity could not help. I just took out the background noise and it sounded fine.

Vivitar Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Speakerphone (Red)

I was out at Walmart just browsing and , I happened to come upon this Vivitar wireless Bluetooth speaker and all for the very cheap price of 8 bucks. I was thinking to myself it is probably just cheap no sounding piece of crap speaker that no one is buying and put it on clearance to get rid of it. The kind clearances I like. So, being a technology enthusiast and because it was just 8 bucks I decided to try it out. I didn’t have much to lose. Pros: Price: The price of this speaker was very cheap, and I like cheap sometimes. Build: I love the color of the speaker, I do love that they have a variety colors , but I wanted something other than the general colors black or white. It is very light weight, almost close to feather in your hand. It does have these 4 rubber pads at the bottom to prevent it from moving. Sound: The sound is decent for some basic music listening not to good and not to bad either. Bluetooth: I love that it is really easy to connect it to Blue
