How to Add Your Own Audio to Any GIF

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Gif have taken over online chats, and social network feeds like wildfire. Every other platform has added support for it along with its corresponding search engine merely for looking up popular GIFs. However, the tools for editing these are still quite sparse especially if you’d like to add your own audio clip to it. To overcome this specific hurdle, take a look at “Shabaam”.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVHacfxXX1rfbxS4YIlFLOoO6O_0sFWQavOFsVMetj4EQl20yCrF8xHgiIciYFJZn-roOHrG18Cbdz-HsOBFQ5GP2viTzGlt5Tq4G-R4gZTdvnEYQ9LnjMUZWJlXT37JUFQurDHuG6j0/s1600/android-screenshots.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="700" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVHacfxXX1rfbxS4YIlFLOoO6O_0sFWQavOFsVMetj4EQl20yCrF8xHgiIciYFJZn-roOHrG18Cbdz-HsOBFQ5GP2viTzGlt5Tq4G-R4gZTdvnEYQ9LnjMUZWJlXT37JUFQurDHuG6j0/s640/android-screenshots.png" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Shabaam is a free Android app that essentially allows you add a custom voice recording to just about any favorite GIF file. The app’s home screen holds an endless grid of trending GIFs from the internet. You can choose any one of these for your project or head over to the tab on the right for browsing particular categories such as animals, art, anime, food, gaming and a whole lot more.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">If you’re still unable to find the particular file, you can fire up a search query from the bar present on the top. Once you’ve selected a GIF, Shabaam will process it and provide you with a barebones interface for recording your voice with the GIF on top. You can tap the image to play it or go ahead with the recording by pressing the large white button in the middle.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Shabaam will begin to log your audio while simultaneously playing the GIF so that you can perfectly align the sound. The app will create the resultant media which you can do over or save directly to the device. In addition to that, Shabaam offers options for sharing the file on other social networks or messaging apps. There are a few obvious shortcomings with Shabaam as well including the fact that it doesn’t yet let you import a GIF or any other stored audio. However, it’s still relatively new to the market, and I’m sure the developers will be bringing new features in the coming updates.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Shabaam is entirely free of cost and is currently limited to Android phones. You can download it from the link down below.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shabaam.android&ref=producthunt" target="_blank">Download From Here</a></span></span></div></div>

OnePlus: In the Boulevard of Broken Leaks?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="first-child " style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span class="cap" style="box-sizing: inherit; float: left; font-size: 54px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1em; margin-bottom: -0.4em; margin-right: 0.05em; position: relative;" title="“W"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 0pt; position: relative; right: 0.06em; top: -1.06em;">“W</span></span>"With great popularity comes…great leakability.”</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Well, those were not exactly the words that were said to Peter Parker by a concerned relative in Spider-Man. But had he been a Techie rather than a Web-slinger, we guess that is exactly what would have been said. For while being talked about is always good, it also does spike off rumors and leaks (alleged and real), and those can be a little bit of a double edged sword.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh27-UCGm_BW07a1utowxYkL9KTJ3JT0iEDTZUSmhZJF5fXrH5yN4Ndz_2PeJQkuA-FsxgXqcI80GuqSaswjRDKv-rrhEzlu-PRWvzEWSxnRb9c3zh-iPBPXNb2SPZdg0yuFf8sBedS5dU/s1600/oneplus-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="429" data-original-width="800" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh27-UCGm_BW07a1utowxYkL9KTJ3JT0iEDTZUSmhZJF5fXrH5yN4Ndz_2PeJQkuA-FsxgXqcI80GuqSaswjRDKv-rrhEzlu-PRWvzEWSxnRb9c3zh-iPBPXNb2SPZdg0yuFf8sBedS5dU/s640/oneplus-5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">We reckon the folks at OnePlus know just what we are talking about. With hours to go for the launch of their next flagship, the much talked of <a href="http://techpp.com/2017/06/10/oneplus-5-flagship-opinion/" sl-processed="1" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #e94b4b; cursor: pointer;">OnePlus 5</a>, the leaks of the product have reached dimensions of breaches in a dam rather than cracks dripping the odd droplet of water. Consider the evidence: the name of the device is known, its processor is known, its cameras (which are supposed to be its star features) are known, its design is known… all of which leaves Messrs. Carl Pei and Pete Lau with a rather limited hand to play with at the launch itself.<br /><br />There will be those who will, of course, point out that “product leaks” are part and parcel of the build up to a product launch. And that all the idle talk does not always hurt. And well, we ourselves had said that the attention being paid to the forthcoming OnePlus had made it a contender for the title of being THE Android flagship. Was it not Oscar Wilde who had said that the only thing worse than being talked about was not being talked about?</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Fair enough.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">But while “controlled” and “tactical” leaks do make sense to build up curiosity and hype about a product, we suspect that that has not always been the case in the build up to the launch of the OnePlus 5. Yes, there are always “leaks”, “spotted in the wilds” and rumors and gossip about devices like the Pixel, the Galaxy S/Note and of course, the iPhone, but – and this is a massive ‘BUT’ – they always seem to come from sources that are far from official. The manufacturers themselves officially distance themselves from them generally as a matter of policy. It is rare to see Apple, Google or Samsung showing pictures or specs of a device well before its launch. Yes, there is the inevitable chant of “we told you so” and “we leaked it” from the tech blog community when the product DOES get launched, but the companies themselves tend to play the “our lips are sealed” tune on the official level at least.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ins class="adsbygoogle Responsive_inside_content" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7017902435008658" data-ad-slot="8834853489" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 200px; text-decoration-line: none; width: 700px;"><ins id="aswift_3_expand" style="background: transparent; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-table; height: 200px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; visibility: visible; width: 700px;"><ins id="aswift_3_anchor" style="background: transparent; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; visibility: visible; width: 700px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="200" hspace="0" id="aswift_3" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="aswift_3" scrolling="no" style="box-sizing: inherit; height: 200px; left: 0px; max-width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 700px;" vspace="0" width="700"></iframe></ins></ins></ins></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">That is what has not happened in the case of the OnePlus 5. Yes, the rumor mongers have had a field day, but time and again, the company itself has rather unusually stepped in and provided details about the product on official channels. The name of the device was disclosed, then a statement was given about the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor running it. Then, as rumors about its design (and its similarity to certain other devices) started to gain momentum, a picture of the device appeared, again on an official channel. An ad showing the phone in its entirety (although with no spec mentions) was shown to a global audience during a high-profile cricket match on television a few days ago. And then with hours to go for the launch, a stack of details about the device, were disclosed to a specific website, again officially. Indeed, those who love “leaks” must be fed up – this is akin to the owner of a barrel of wine pouring you a glass of it even while you try to drill holes in the barrel to secretly grab a taste of a few drops!</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">Some might label it “desperation for attention,” others might call it a strategy to curtail malicious leaks, but there is no denying that all of this has killed off a fair deal of the tension that is part and parcel of a high-profile launch. A lot of people know what the device is and what it can do. Not because of gossip or conspiracies. But because OnePlus themselves revealed it. Whether the move pays dividends and maybe even deal a blow to the “leak” culture that is part and parcel of tech media remains to be seen. But as of now, when Carl Pei and Pete Lau launch the OnePlus 5, we can almost hear them paraphrasing Green Day and singing:</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">“<i style="box-sizing: inherit;">I walk this online street<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />On the Boulevard of Broken Leaks<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Where specs and pictures leak<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I am the only OnePlus, and I walk alone…</i>”</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6875rem; margin-bottom: 10px;">(Sung to the tune of “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”)</div></div>
