<p>That is done in the Screen Settings menu F2 or Ctrl+2<br>
I can show you if you have and use Skype, I can share my screen<br>
(no video needed) and walk you thru many features users seem to
miss.<br>
If you have Skype, send me a Contact Request in Skype to<br>
my user name ccuvideo and we can get connected.<br>
I have done this to help people around the world...<br>
Let me know or I can type me fingers off here... LOL</p>

<pre>
<code> Thanks so much for the quick reply! Unfortunately I don't use Skype anymore. For some reason the program was causing me a lot of issues with my computer so I had to uninstall it.
I do know which screen you are talking about, and being able to change the start text. I guess I wasn't clear in my original post - my bad. What I'm curious about is how do you get Spark Booth to respond to a voice command? Having the guests say something such as "I'm ready" would be really neat instead of them pressing a button to begin. So that's what I'm wondering about is how to do the voice command and have Sparkbooth begin the session when someone says that command.</code>

<p>Thanks for your help. We've been Sparkbooth users since 2011 and
it keeps getting better and better with each version.</p>

<p>I tell everyone who goes in the booth for photos<br>
<strong>It's voice activated... just say "I'm Ready" and I will
activate it...</strong></p>
<p>No it's just me with a controller activating the START<br>
I have a wired rollerball mouse and a wired 6 button controller<br>
that I have the buttons configured for different commands...<br>
#1-Start - #2-Print #4-Cancel etc...</p>
<p>It is a life saver from a touch screen where you are
continually<br>
cleaning it OR REPLACING IT from people who hit/smack the
screen...</p>
<p>Jorge in Miami connected me to this 6 button controller (I have
2)<br>

<p>It is out of stock now but I plan to get another couple for
backup<br>
Yes, Sparkbooth has a fantastic creator/owner John Wu and he is<br>
always adding new features that his users are requesting...</p>
<p>Keep in touch <strong>I'm Ready</strong></p>

it</strong></p>
<p>One other thing we do is give everyone in the booth a photo
strip<br>
doesn't matter if there are 2 or 12... <strong><em>they all get a
strip</em></strong><br>
because...<br>
the people in the booth are your next possible
clients/customers<br>
the better you take care of them, the more likely they will hire
you<br>
and the people who hired you are seldom in the booth more than a
couple of times</p>
<p>NOTE: say I have 9 people in the booth, when they come out<br>
I have 2 photo strips and I take one of them and set it down on the
table<br>
for the client (B&G?)<br>
(I have already hit the PRINT button 4 times) and I then hold up
the second one<br>
and say <strong>Do ene meni mini mo...</strong> and they look at me
like I am crazy (which I am)<br>
so I say <strong>really, I have 1 and if you do ene meni mini mo,
you can have it...</strong><br>
this delays them for enough time till they finally do it and when
they are done<br>
I hand them all the photo strips that have printed.<br>
...thru out the evening, others chime in with the ene meni mini mo
fun !!!</p>
<p>I love to interact with the guests and this has helped promote
our business<br>
and I get a tip 80% of the time at every event we do..</p>

using hp L2105 or the newer model HP L2206 touch screens with out
any issues or failures. They are reasonably priced and completely
plug and play, even on our 1 old vista machine. What we found is
that guests will kick, punch, and slam a start button but will
always just press the touch screen where indicated. The first 5
booths we had used start buttons but have all been updated to the
HP/Compaq 21" t/s. An added bonus is they are flat mount fronts so
no casing needs to be removed for permanent in cabinet
mounting.</p></div>briantag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/350353242014-10-28T22:34:24Z2014-10-28T22:34:24ZQuestion for Joe from A1<div><p>Also, check out <a href=
"http://www.lightobject.com">www.lightobject.com</a>. They have
touch screen overlays (USB connected) for 17, 19, and 22 LCD's in
both 4:3 and 16:9. I just bought a 17" 4:3 for 80.00. I used it at
an event this weekend and it worked perfect. And I agree with
Brian, people punch the buttons but are gentle with the screen.</p></div>jasontag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/350353242014-10-29T04:42:57Z2014-10-29T04:43:00ZQuestion for Joe from A1<div><p>Thanks jason! I may dig out those 19" 16:9's I replaced and use
those for some future builds with that device. I had never seen
those.</p></div>briantag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/350353242014-10-29T10:58:44Z2014-10-29T10:58:44ZQuestion for Joe from A1<div><p>I was a little skepticle when I got it due to the price but it
works like a<br>
charm. Just keep in mind it is literally a sheet of touch screen
glass that<br>
has to be integrated into the lcd. But for the price it works.</p>
