<div>== Overview ==<br />
<br />
As of January 2007 LibriVox has a new database-driven catalog. Every project in the database can be found using the search page of the catalog. When a project is started, the MC (Meta Coordinator) adds it into the database as an "Open" project. The URL to the administrative interface for that project will then be given to the BC (Book Coordinator) if it's a collaborative project. The BC will use this to keep track of readers claiming and completing sections, as well as proof-listening. A soloist may also use the administrative interface to keep track of what they've completed. All of this is searchable.<br />
<br />
The search results will provide links to the catalog pages for each item. See "Book Pages" below for more information about individual catalog pages for each project.<br />
<br />
'''[http://librivox.org/newcatalog/ The LibriVox Catalog Search]'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== How to Search The Catalog ==<br />
<br />
=== The Basics ===<br />
<br />
'''You can fill all, any, or none of the text search boxes to get results. Leaving all the dropdowns at "Any" or "Either," and leaving every text box blank will yield results showing every project in the database. Your search can be as narrow or as broad as you'd like.'''<br />
<br />
For every text field in the search you can use partial or full search words to find what you are looking for. For example, if I type "al" in the '''Author''' field, the search results will yield every project that contains an author with the letters "al" anywhere in the name. This would include '''Al'''exandre Dumas, as well as W'''al'''t Whitman.<br />
<br />
If you allowed for "Any" in the '''Status''' dropdown, then you will be presented with 'completed' and 'in progress' works. They will be listed separately with the completed works presented first on the page, and the in progress below. Also, while viewing the search results you will see two links for each result. The first link on the title of the project goes to the individual catalog page discussed below. The second link: '''(readers)''' brings you to a list of the readers for the project that was used while the project was in progress. In that list of readers, you can click on a particular reader's name, and see the page including every chapter/section/project they have participated in.<br />
<br />
=== The Details ===<br />
<br />
==== Title ====<br />
<br />
Searches the title for a book or project, as well as a specific story or poem in a collection.<br />
<br />
==== Author ====<br />
<br />
Searches the author of a whole book or project, as well as a specific story or poem in a collection.<br />
<br />
==== Reader ====<br />
<br />
Use this search field if you want to find projects by a particular reader using either their forum user name, or their catalog name. Doing this will produce three results. First, you will see all of the completed projects they have participated in (if any). Then you will see the 'in progress' projects they are currently participating in. At the very bottom of the search results you will see a name or list of names with the heading "'''# readers found:'''" If you click on the name you were searching for, it will present you with their page and list of projects as described above.<br />
<br />
==== Status ====<br />
<br />
Search for projects of a particular status:<br />
*'''Complete''': finished, fully cataloged projects<br />
*'''In Progress''': project that are Open, Fully Subscribed or Proof Listening<br />
*'''Open''': collaborative projects that are still looking for readers<br />
<br />
You can specify just the status you are looking for to find all projects that are currently open to readers or complete, etc. There are many ways you can use this search parameter to narrow down your search. The default is '''All'''.<br />
<br />
==== Solo/Group ====<br />
<br />
Use this to specify a solo project, or collaborative project in your search. This is especially helpful if you're looking for collaborative projects to participate in, or to check up and see whether someone is already doing a solo of a book you'd like to read. The default is '''Either'''.<br />
<br />
==== Language ====<br />
<br />
Allows you to specify projects read in a particular language. The dropdown lists all the languages that are currently in the LibriVox catalog, as well as how many works are in the catalog for that language in parenthesis. The default is '''Any'''.<br />
<br />
==== Category ====<br />
<br />
There are four categories that any given project can belong to, and they are as follows:<br />
* Fiction<br />
* Poetry<br />
* Non-Fiction<br />
* Dramatic Works<br />
Each project can only belong to one of the categories. You can either click on the link for a particular category at the very top of the search page, or type it into the text box for "Category". This will allow you to use other search parameters to narrow down a particular category. For example, let's say I want to view all of the projects that have been done by ChipDoc in the Poetry category. I would type "ChipDoc" in the Reader search box, and type Poetry in the Category search box.<br />
<br />
==== Genre ====<br />
<br />
This is very different from the Category way of organizing things in that a project can be part of multiple genres. The Genre field is more like a tagging system, and a project can contain any genres from 1 to all of them. This is just another way of grouping recordings so that listeners can browse titles of a particular type or style. The following is the current list of genres for LibriVox recordings. For example, ''The Three Musketeers'' would appear in both 'Romance' and 'Adventure.' Towards the top of the catalog search page there is a link called '''Choose by Genre'''. When clicked, it will bring you to a page with a list of all the genres in the catalog. You can either use this list to view the works in a particular genre, or use the Genre search box to enter your chosen genre and specify other search parameters as described above.<br />
<br />
== Book Pages ==<br />
<br />
Once you have found and clicked the link for a book/recording you want to listen to, there are several things to note about the individual catalog pages. <br />
<br />
Each catalog page contains a description of the book, and helpful links about the book and author. You can also find a link to an online source for the text, if you wish to read along.<br />
<br />
You'll find that you can download files in several places. You can download the individual chapters by choosing 128kbps MP3, 64kbps MP3 (smaller file size), or the Ogg Vorbis files. You can also find a link to a zip file of the whole book at the top. Another option is to find the recording with !BitTorrent, but not all recordings have been seeded.<br />
<br />
== Search Examples ==<br />
<br />
Some typical searches catalog users may wish to perform.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed books (for browsing) ===<br />
* You can view all completed projects by choosing 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
* We have a feature request to find just books (excluding short works and poetry) and it should be possible to do this in future.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed Short Works and Collections ===<br />
* You can view all completed projects by choosing 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
* We have a feature request to find just Short Works and Collections (excluding books) and it should be possible to do this in future.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed poetry ===<br />
Type 'Poetry' into the '''Category''' search field and choose 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
<br />
=== Find all children's literature ===<br />
Click on the '''Choose by Genre''' link at the top of the search page. Choose 'Children' from the list. Results will display completed works first on the page and below that works that are still in progress.<br />
<br />
=== Find all non-fiction ===<br />
Click 'Non-fiction' below '''Choose by Category''' at the top of the search page. Results will display completed works first on the page and below that works that are still in progress.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed works in other languages (non-English) ===<br />
Choose 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown. From the '''Language''' field dropdown, choose a language.<br />
<br />
=== Find all collaborative projects in progress (not yet completed and cataloged) ===<br />
Choose 'In Progress' from the '''Status''' field dropdown, and 'Group' from the '''Solo/Group''' dropdown.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Catalog_Page&diff=32326Catalog Page2022-10-06T15:13:29Z<p>Jo2: /* MC */</p>

<br />
Use this search field if you want to find projects by a particular reader using either their forum user name, or their catalog name. Doing this will produce three results. First, you will see all of the completed projects they have participated in (if any). Then you will see the 'in progress' projects they are currently participating in.

<br />
==== Status ====<br />

*'''Fully Subscribed''': projects that are still in progress but have all the readers they need<br />
*'''Proof Listening''': projects that have all or most sections completed and are in the 'proof-listening' stage<br />
You can use this to search for works on a particular author that are currently in proof-listening. You can specify just the status you are looking for to find all projects that are currently in proof-listening, or open to readers, or complete, etc. There are many ways you can use this search parameter to narrow down your search. The default is '''Any'''.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Author ====<br />
<br />
Searches the author of a whole book or project, as well as a specific story or poem in a collection.<br />
<br />

<br />
Use this search field if you want to find projects by a particular reader using either their forum user name, or their catalog name. Doing this will produce three results. First, you will see all of the completed projects they have participated in (if any). Then you will see the 'in progress' projects they are currently participating in.

You can use this to search for works on a particular author that are currently in proof-listening. You can specify just the status you are looking for to find all projects that are currently in proof-listening, or open to readers, or complete, etc. There are many ways you can use this search parameter to narrow down your search.

<br />
This is similar to the BC search field, but this one allows you to look for the projects of a particular MC, or Meta Coordinator. Let's say you're feeling nosy and want to see how many projects they're currently managing.<br />
<br />
==== Category ====<br />
<br />
There are four categories that any given project can belong to, and they are as follows:<br />

I would type "ChipDoc" in the Reader search box, and type Poetry in the Category search box.<br />
<br />
==== Genre ====<br />
<br />
This is very different from the Category way of organizing things in that a project can be part of multiple genres. The Genre field is more like a tagging system, and a project can contain any genres from 1 to all of them.

You can use this to search for works on a particular author that are currently in proof-listening. You can specify just the status you are looking for to find all projects that are currently in proof-listening, or open to readers, or complete, etc. There are many ways you can use this search parameter to narrow down your search. The default is '''Any'''.<br />
<br />
==== Solo/Group ====<br />
<br />
Use this to specify a solo project, or collaborative project in your search. This is especially helpful if you're looking for collaborative projects to participate in, or to check up and see whether someone is already doing a solo of a book you'd like to read. The default is '''Either'''.<br />
<br />
==== Language ====<br />
<br />
Allows you to specify projects read in a particular language. The dropdown lists all the languages that are currently in the LibriVox catalog, as well as how many works are in the catalog for that language in parenthesis. The default is '''Any'''.<br />
<br />
==== BC ====<br />
<br />
You can use this text box to tell the search to return results only from a particular BC (Book Coordinator). You may have a preference for a certain BC, and would like to see what projects he/she is currently running. Or maybe you've forgotten the title of a book you wanted to listen to, but remember who coordinated it. <br />
<br />
==== MC ====<br />
<br />
This is similar to the BC search field, but this one allows you to look for the projects of a particular MC, or Meta Coordinator. Let's say you're feeling nosy and want to see how many projects they're currently managing.<br />
<br />
==== Category ====<br />
<br />
There are four categories that any given project can belong to, and they are as follows:<br />
* Fiction<br />
* Poetry<br />
* Non-Fiction<br />
* Dramatic Works<br />
Each project can only belong to one of the categories. You can either click on the link for a particular category at the very top of the search page, or type it into the text box for "Category". This will allow you to use other search parameters to narrow down a particular category. For example, let's say I want to view all of the projects that have been done by ChipDoc in the Poetry category. I would type "ChipDoc" in the Reader search box, and type Poetry in the Category search box.<br />
<br />
==== Genre ====<br />
<br />
This is very different from the Category way of organizing things in that a project can be part of multiple genres. The Genre field is more like a tagging system, and a project can contain any genres from 1 to all of them. This is just another way of grouping recordings so that listeners can browse titles of a particular type or style. The following is the current list of genres for LibriVox recordings. For example, ''The Three Musketeers'' would appear in both 'Romance' and 'Adventure.' Towards the top of the catalog search page there is a link called '''Choose by Genre'''. When clicked, it will bring you to a page with a list of all the genres in the catalog. You can either use this list to view the works in a particular genre, or use the Genre search box to enter your chosen genre and specify other search parameters as described above.<br />
<br />
== Book Pages ==<br />
<br />
Once you have found and clicked the link for a book/recording you want to listen to, there are several things to note about the individual catalog pages. <br />
<br />
Each catalog page contains a description of the book, and helpful links about the book and author. You can also find a link to an online source for the text, if you wish to read along.<br />
<br />
You'll find that you can download files in several places. You can download the individual chapters by choosing 128kbps MP3, 64kbps MP3 (smaller file size), or the Ogg Vorbis files. You can also find a link to a zip file of the whole book at the top. Another option is to find the recording with !BitTorrent, but not all recordings have been seeded.<br />
<br />
== Search Examples ==<br />
<br />
Some typical searches catalog users may wish to perform.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed books (for browsing) ===<br />
* You can view all completed projects by choosing 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
* We have a feature request to find just books (excluding short works and poetry) and it should be possible to do this in future.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed Short Works and Collections ===<br />
* You can view all completed projects by choosing 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
* We have a feature request to find just Short Works and Collections (excluding books) and it should be possible to do this in future.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed poetry ===<br />
Type 'Poetry' into the '''Category''' search field and choose 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown.<br />
<br />
=== Find all children's literature ===<br />
Click on the '''Choose by Genre''' link at the top of the search page. Choose 'Children' from the list. Results will display completed works first on the page and below that works that are still in progress.<br />
<br />
=== Find all non-fiction ===<br />
Click 'Non-fiction' below '''Choose by Category''' at the top of the search page. Results will display completed works first on the page and below that works that are still in progress.<br />
<br />
=== Find all completed works in other languages (non-English) ===<br />
Choose 'Completed' from the '''Status''' field dropdown. From the '''Language''' field dropdown, choose a language.<br />
<br />
=== Find all collaborative projects in progress (not yet completed and cataloged) ===<br />
Choose 'In Progress' from the '''Status''' field dropdown, and 'Group' from the '''Solo/Group''' dropdown.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Book_Resources&diff=32296Book Resources2022-08-30T15:27:03Z<p>Jo2: /* Children's Literature */</p>

Our main resource for the books we record is the [http://gutenberg.org/ Project Gutenberg]. It has a huge catalog of public domain e-books, and they do extensive legal checking before releasing their titles. Generally, if it was published in 1925 or before, it's public domain in the U.S., which is good enough for us. Nevertheless, there are also other resources online which are listed here. But bear in mind that the book has to be in the public domain (see [[Copyright and Public Domain]]). If you are in doubt, don't start recording until the copyright status is approved by an administrator.<br />

This is the first part, covering years 0 - 4. The second part, covering Years 5 - 8, may be found [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_2 here]. The third part, covering Year 9, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_3 here]. The fourth part, covering Year 10, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_4 here]. The fifth part, covering Year 11, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_5 here].<br />
<br />
The lists here only include books on the main booklists on Ambleside Online, not the various personal recommendations. If you would like to browse all LibriVox recordings of books, stories and poems for children, please follow [http://librivox.org/search?genre_id=1&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for fiction and [http://librivox.org/search?title=&author=&reader=&keywords=&genre_id=2&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for non-fiction.<br />
<br />
Please note that many books on the Ambleside list are not in the Public Domain, and are therefore not available to record for LibriVox.<br />
<br />
Ambleside Online has modernised versions of the original Charlotte Mason books on which the homeschooling programme is based. These are not in the public domain, and therefore not available for recording at LibriVox. Three of the original books of the Home Education Series are now available online, however:<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Listeners have requested a list of LibriVox recordings of books recommended by [http://www.amblesideonline.org/ Ambleside Online] for use with homeschooling. Anyone looking for audio books for children will find plenty of ideas on this page. <br />
<br />
This is the first part, covering years 0 - 4. The second part, covering Years 5 - 8, may be found [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_2 here]. The third part, covering Year 9, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_3 here]. The fourth part, covering Year 10, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_4 here]. The fifth part, covering Year 11, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_5 here].<br />
<br />
The lists here only include books on the main booklists on Ambleside Online, not the various personal recommendations. If you would like to browse all LibriVox recordings of books, stories and poems for children, please follow [http://librivox.org/search?genre_id=1&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for fiction and [http://librivox.org/search?title=&author=&reader=&keywords=&genre_id=2&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for non-fiction.<br />
<br />
Please note that many books on the Ambleside list are not in the Public Domain, and are therefore not available to record for LibriVox.<br />
<br />
Ambleside Online has modernised versions of the original Charlotte Mason books on which the homeschooling programme is based. These are not in the public domain, and therefore not available for recording at LibriVox. Three of the original books of the Home Education Series are now available online, however:<br />
<br />

<br />

I have been unsuccessful at finding the other volumes available online worldwide. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Listeners have requested a list of LibriVox recordings of books recommended by [http://www.amblesideonline.org/ Ambleside Online] for use with homeschooling. Anyone looking for audio books for children will find plenty of ideas on this page. <br />
<br />
This is the first part, covering years 0 - 4. The second part, covering Years 5 - 8, may be found [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_2 here]. The third part, covering Year 9, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_3 here]. The fourth part, covering Year 10, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_4 here]. The fifth part, covering Year 11, is [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Recordings_of_Books_on_the_Ambleside_List_5 here].<br />
<br />
The lists here only include books on the main booklists on Ambleside Online, not the various personal recommendations. If you would like to browse all LibriVox recordings of books, stories and poems for children, please follow [http://librivox.org/search?genre_id=1&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for fiction and [http://librivox.org/search?title=&author=&reader=&keywords=&genre_id=2&status=complete&sort_order=alpha&search_form=advanced this link] for non-fiction.<br />
<br />
Please note that many books on the Ambleside list are not in the Public Domain, and are therefore not available to record for LibriVox.<br />
<br />
Ambleside Online has modernised versions of the original Charlotte Mason books on which the homeschooling programme is based. These are not in the public domain, and therefore not available for recording at LibriVox. Three of the original books of the Home Education Series are now available online, however:<br />

'''Last Update 28 Jan 2019, Dlolso21'''</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=How_To_Get_LibriVox_Audio_Files&diff=32257How To Get LibriVox Audio Files2022-06-07T04:41:40Z<p>Jo2: </p>
<hr />
<div>LibriVox provides totally free audio books from the public domain. All our files are stored on [http://archive.org Archive.org]<br />
<br />
The first step before you listen is to get the audio files onto your own computer. Once you have found an audiobook that interests you, there are many ways to download the files, and save them onto your computer. Each chapter is offered in three (3) formats: either 64 Kbps MP3, 128 Kbps MP3, and [[Glossary#Ogg_Vorbis|Ogg Vorbis]] for older projects or 64 Kbps MP3, 128 Kbps MP3 or VBR MP3 for newer projects. Once you've picked which type of file you want, here's how to download it, from the server computer where it is stored, to your PC.<br />
<br />
== Download Them Directly from the LibriVox Web Site ==<br />
===All-purpose, One-at-a-time Method===<br />
* Position your mouse pointer over the link for the file type you want.<br />
* Click the right mouse button; a menu will appear near the mouse pointer.<br />
* One of the options in this menu will be something like '''Save Target As ...''' or '''Save Link As ...'''. Click that option.<br />
* The '''Save As''' dialog box will open. Use it to navigate to the folder / directory on your PC where you want to save the file you are about to download. Now click the Save button.<br />
* This initiates the downloading process, and the file will download to your PC. How long this will take depends on the size of the file and the speed of your connection to the Internet. The range is a few minutes to more than an hour.<br />
<br />
This method is useful when saving files individually. But what if there are 30 chapters in the audiobook you want do download? The methods below will allow you to download multiple files at the same time. <br />
<br />
===Zip Archive File of the Whole Work===<br />
One alternative is to use the link labeled '''Zip file of the entire book''' (in 64 Kbps MP3 format), which is just below the summary of the book near the top of the page. If your connection to the Internet is reliable and stable, this will work. But if your connection is otherwise, particularly if you connect via a telephone modem, you may want to consider the second alternative.<br />
<br />
After this archive file has finished downloading to your PC, you'll need a tool to unzip it (which means to extract out all the individual files stored inside it). <br />
* In Windows XP, double-click on the file, which is named something like ''title_author_librivox_64kb_mp3.zip'', and follow the directions for extracting the individual MP3 files. <br />
* In Windows Vista or 7, right-click on the file, select Extract All, and follow the directions for extracting the individual MP3 files.<br />
* In Mac OSX, double-click on the file, and it will automatically begin unpacking it.<br />
Once they are extracted, you may delete the Zip file.<br />
<br />
===Subscribe in iTunes===<br />
These instructions will work in version 11 and later of iTunes. See below if you have an earlier version of iTunes.<br />
<br />
* Click on the '''iTunes''' button on the catalog page. This will launch iTunes (say "yes" if your computer asks). <br />
[[File:Subscribe.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* Once in iTunes, use the pull-down menu towards the top left, just below the control buttons to select the Podcasts section. You will find the title of the book and first section downloaded.<br />
[[File:Podcasts.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* You have four viewing options for podcasts: Unplayed, My Podcasts, My Stations, List. The buttons for the four views are in a horizontal line below the control buttons.<br />
[[File:Podcast-views.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* You have two options to download the remainder of the book.<br />
** In My Podcasts view, select the title of the book from the list on the left, then click on Old Episodes at the top right of the larger frame, and finally, click the Add All button. This will add the titles of the remainder of the sections, and will allow you to stream them without downloading. If you wish to download the files (e.g. if you want to transfer them to another device), click on the little cloud-with-an-arrow icon that appears to the far right of each chapter to download them.<br />
[[File:My-podcasts.jpg]]<br />
** In List view, you should see a right facing arrow to the left of the title. Click on this, and the list of chapters you already have will appear. In addition, you will see the little cloud-with-an-arrow icon appear to the right of the title. Click this, and you'll get a pop-up warning asking if you really want to download all the files. Click OK.<br />
[[File:List.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* If you have to interrupt your listening, you will find that iTunes remembers the place where you left off, when you get back to the track (even if you've listened to another track in your library in the meantime).<br />
<br />
====Older Versions of iTunes====<br />
* Once in iTunes, on the left sidebar, click on '''Podcasts''' (under '''Library'''). Under podcasts, you should see: '''LibriVox: book-title-by-author-name'''<br />
* Click on the little black triangle (*) beside that. Now you should see all the files. <br />
** If they are in light gray, it means they are not downloaded yet<br />
** If you see a small gray '''Get all''' button, press that. Otherwise, press '''get''' on all the files individually.<br />
* Let iTunes work away at downloading till all the files are in dark gray.<br />
* To listen, double-click a track as usual.<br />
<br />
===Browser "Firefox" and the DownThemAll! Plugin===<br />
The [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox] browser is highly recommended. One of the extensions (a plug-in) for it is [http://www.downthemall.net/ DownThemAll!], which is a download manager. It can handle downloading all the files you want from a particular page in one operation. How convenient. <br />
<br />
The [http://www.downthemall.net/ DownThemAll!] Web site contains a link for automatically adding this extension to Firefox after you have installed that browser. And it contains illustrated How-to's for using it.<br />
At the the bottom of this dialog is box labeled '''Preferences''' which opens a new dialog window where you can add or edit the filters. One of the pre-defined filters is for limiting the files to be downloaded to those with the filename extension ".mp3". However, LibriVox offers two different resolutions of MP3 files, so, unless you wish to download both versions, you will need to '''Add a new filter:''' to specify how DownThemAll! will distinguish between the two. If you want the 64 Kbps files, then enter this as the filter:<br />
/(64kb\.mp3)$/<br />
But use this filter for the 128 Kbps files:<br />
/.*_((?!64kb).)*\.mp3$/<br />
An alternate version for the above filter adds the jpg and pdf artwork that goes along with the book.<br />
/.*_((?!64kb).)*\.mp3$|\.jpg$|\.pdf$/<br />
And, for the Ogg Vorbis files, use:<br />
/(\.ogg)$/<br />
<br />
<br />
====But I'm at the library and the right-mouse button is disabled====<br />
<br />
Yes, it is quite a nuisance that some libraries find it necessary to prevent use of the right mouse button on PCs for security reasons.<br />
<br />
At one library, the following method was found to work around this limitation. This assumes you have some way to copy the file you will download from the library's computer, such as to your own USB device.<br />
<br />
Clicking with the left mouse button on the link to an MP3 file caused the browser (MS Internet Explorer) to start the program Windows Media Player, which soon started playing the audio file. With Windows Media Player still playing the file, the Player's file menu was opened and the '''Save As ...''' option selected. Navigating to the attached USB device and clicking the "Save" button caused the file to downloaded to the USB device.<br />
<br />
Not as elegant as using DownThemAll!, but if your library has a T1 line to the Internet and your other option is a phone modem at home, the savings in downloading time can be substantial.<br />
<br />
===Browser "Opera" and the Link-Panel. (Similar to Firefox's DownThemAll)===<br />
Opera has a neat feature built-in. You can let the side-panel display a sorted list of the Web links of a page. Visit your books catalogue page and let Opera link panel sort and display to you a list of all links pointing to the 64k-mp3 files. Then right-click and '''save''' or '''fast save'''. Then watch the progress of the transfers in the transfer-panel or page.<br />
<br />
* Make sure you can see the panel on the left. If the panel is not there, click on the left border, or go to '''View > Toolbars > Panels'''. Once you have the panel, click on the Links button (here, it's the one below the star).<br />
[[Image:Opera1.jpg | frame | none]]<br />
<br />
* Enter 128 in the search field. <br />
[[Image:Opera2.jpg | frame | none]]<br />
<br />
* Select all the files, right-click, and select '''Save Linked Content As...'''<br />
[[Image:Opera3.jpg | frame | none]]<br />
<br />
== Acquire Them Automatically with Podcasting ==<br />
<br />
* [http://librivox.org/podcast-page/ LibriVox Podcasts] describes the several different podcasts that are available, including the book podcast which distributes a selected book at the rate of three chapters per week.<br />
<br />
* [[Podcast| The LibriVox Podcasts]] is the wiki help for listeners who want to get LibriVox audio files via podcasting.<br />
<br />
== Download Them with Torrents ==<br />
<br />
Internet archive is now generating torrents for all of our audiobooks. Use the Torrent button on any catalog page to download the BitTorrent for that book.<br />

<hr />
<div>Here is a list of questions people have asked, and answers given. These are taken from the [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=23 Need help? Got Advice?] forum. <br />
<br />
== Help downloading files == <br />
<br />
Q: Archive.org is blocked/times out, and I can't access the files. <br />
<br />
A: Many of our files are also hosted by [http://gutenberg.org/ Gutenberg.org]. You might also want to try accessing the files through a proxy.<br />
<br />
== Questions regarding volunteering ==<br />
=== Can volunteering be credited? ===<br />
Q: I must complete a certain number of hours of community service for school or by court appointment. Will time be credited if I volunteer for LibriVox? <br />
<br />
A: It depends. We get a number of requests about people using us for school, university or community service volunteering hours, court ordered community service or other types of service projects. While we welcome all readers, you would need to discuss this with whomever is organizing or approving your community service hours to determine the criteria the organization you're volunteering for must fulfill, as there are a number of things that may make it not suitable. It is possible that you may only do community service for ''registered'' non-profit organizations. Librivox is not a registered charity. We operate independently as a project of the Internet Archive. The majority of our volunteers do this as a hobby for fun. <br />
<br />
<span style="color:#b32425">'''We are totally web based and are unable to sign any paperwork - we have no office, no staff and no way to record or verify how many total hours you have spent volunteering.'''</span> The only record you will have is the length of any finished recordings which will be available on a personal reader page once any projects you contribute to are cataloged. Your catalogue page, which will list every project you've participated in, and the sections you worked on will only provide the time for each cataloged section -- but only for the length of the file itself; there's no way to account for time spent in setting up, editing, proof-listening or any other non-speaking part of the process. Our experience is that for a ready to catalog 1 hour of recording, it can take you about 3-4 hours to record, edit and produce a finished recording, depending on the difficulty of the text and the amount of editing required. <span style="color:#b32425">'''The organization assigning your community volunteer hours will have to institute its own procedures for accepting/verifying LibriVox volunteer time without any participation on our end.'''</span> <br />
<br />
If under these conditions you would still like to volunteer, or if you decide to do it some time for fun, just register for our forums and we'll give you what help you need to get started.<br />
<br />
== Help with the Forum ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Forum topics not being marked as read ===<br />
Q: When browsing into a topic, then going back to the forum via navigation links (not the BACK button), the topic is still being marked "Unread". <br />
<br />
A: Try deleting your cookies and see if it helps. <br />
<br />
=== Log on problems === <br />
Q: After entering my correct user name and password to log on, these appear to be accepted. However, I find that I am not logged on when the main forum screen opens. <br />
<br />
A: Delete your Librivox cookies, close and then restart your browser.<br />
<br />
=== Posts not showing up ===<br />
Q: When posting in the forum, the post's contents aren't showing up; a blank post gets posted, but clicking "Edit" shows that the text is there. <br />
<br />
A: Make sure there is no broken BBCode, especially with links. If you post a link surrounded with [url] tags, like so: [url]httpLinkToSomeplace [/url], make sure that the link isn't broken, and that there are no spaces in the link, or remove the space before the [/url] tag. You could also remove the [url] tags altogether, as just posting a link will make it show up as active, even without the [url] tags.<br />
<br />
== Help with the Catalog ==<br />
<br />
=== Changing Catalog info ===<br />
Q: I want to change my catalog Name/URL. <br />
<br />
A: You may do so by asking any Admin. Please note that the changes will not necessarily change your information on various apps, YouTube, etc., since we do not know how often these 3rd parties refresh their data.<br />
<br />
== Help with Audacity ==<br />
<br />
=== Problem selecting wave ===<br />
Q: When I try to select part of the audio, I can only select in blocks of 1 seconds; I can't select anything under 1 second. <br />
<br />
A: Make sure to uncheck the <b>Snap to</b> box at the bottom of the Audacity window.<br />
<br />
=== Problem with sampling rate === <br />
Q: My track has the wrong sampling rate, and when I try to change it, my voice sounds funny. <br />
<br />
A: The rate should be 44100Hz. Use the drop-down menu at the bottom right corner of the Audacity window ("<b>Project Rate (Hz)</b>") to change the sampling rate. It shouldn't affect how your voice sounds. You can also re-sample a track without changing the speed or pitch by selecting Tracks | Resample and entering 44,100 as the new sample rate.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Boy_Scout_Literature&diff=32160Boy Scout Literature2022-02-10T21:09:11Z<p>Jo2: /* Walter Prichard Eaton Series */</p>

<hr />
<div>Our objective is to record texts as they were published. This means:<br />
* You may not change the published text in any way (eg. to remove swear words, language or ideas you find objectionable, or to "update" a text). Our objective is to record texts as they were written.<br />
* You may not add or remove text.<br />
* You may not add an audio introduction or editorial comment. You can however include this kind of thing in the catalog text.<br />
<br />
'''We do not allow computer-generated (synthesized) voices in our recordings. LibriVox recordings are made by volunteers using their own voices.''' <br />
<br />
<br />
===Texts that can be recorded for LibriVox include the following:===<br />
<br />
Published books that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
Published short works that are in the public domain in the USA (essays, newspaper articles, short stories, poems, etc) <br />
<br />
US government documents that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
Texts of notable speeches that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
===Texts that CANNOT be recorded for LibriVox include the following:===<br />
<br />
Texts that are still under copyright in the USA<br />
<br />
Self-published novels, short stories, poems, essays, etc<br />
<br />
===Our policy on text sources:===<br />
The fact that a text was published more than 95 years ago doesn't mean that all internet versions of it are acceptable for our use. Some sites slap restrictions on texts; others do not state clearly what edition their text came from (they may have been edited or from a still-copyrighted edition).<br />
<br />
Texts acceptable for LV:<br />
* Scans of works which show the publication year as being more than 95 years ago<br />
* Texts available on Gutenberg.org, whose copyright status on the book information page shows as PD in the USA (see note below)<br />
* Texts from other sites that state ''clearly'' which edition the text came from, and that do not restrict the use of their text with a CC or other license (gutenberg.au, bartleby.com, and plenty of others may qualify)<br />
<br />
Sources that share transcribed works (e.g. works rendered into html or a cleaned up PDF) without a clear statement of what edition they came from aren't allowed, just like they're not allowed for >95-year-old works. Wikisource is not acceptable unless it has a scan that clearly shows a publication date of 96 years or more, because they restrict use of the texts with a CC license.<br />
<br />
''Note also that HathiTrust restricts views on many of their works for out-of-USA viewers. So if you can, please use Gutenberg or Internet Archive first, and Hathi as a later option.''<br />
<br />
===How are books selected for LibriVox?===<br />
<br />
All works recorded for LibriVox are selected by volunteers. <br />
<br />
There are several ways: <br />
<br />
*Someone (a listener, or a volunteer) suggests a book (or text - we also read short works and poetry!) We have a forum for that (ingeniously named "[https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=1 Book Suggestions]") where people can post suggestions along with a summary of the book. Very often suggestions from this forum are picked up by volunteers and realised -- either as solo, or as a collaborative project (see [[How LibriVox Works]] for information on these). Here are some great external sources for texts: [[Book Resources]]. <br />
<br />
*A reader comes to the forum and already knows which book s/he wants to read, and starts a solo project straight away. <br />
<br />
*A reader has already recorded a book and 'donates' it to LibriVox. <br />
<br />
So basically, book selection boils down to what people would like to hear or read. Most volunteers either choose to read books they love, or books they've always wanted to read or think sound interesting. <br />
<br />
Since LibriVox's lofty goal is to record all books in the public domain, everything will be recorded eventually!<br />
<br />
===Can all books be recorded for LibriVox?===<br />
No. At LibriVox, we can only read books that are in the public domain, i.e.. free of copyright. <br />
<br />
===How can I tell if a book is in the public domain?===<br />
<br />
Project Gutenberg has a huge catalog of public domain e-books, and they do extensive legal checking before releasing their titles. Generally, if it was published in 1926 or earlier, it's public domain in the U.S., which is good enough for us. After that, it gets more complicated. <br />
<br />
For more information, see [[Copyright and Public Domain]].<br />
<br />
===I wrote an unpublished book! Will LibriVox record it?===<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, no. We are focused on producing audio recordings of published public domain books. However, we encourage you to publish an audio version over at scribl.com, or upload them directly to archive.org. And if you hang out on the forums here, and do some recordings, you might find some willing volunteers to help you record yours too.<br />
<br />
===LibriVox and "Sensitive" Topics===<br />
<br />
Every work included in the LibriVox collection is potentially a sensitive and sacred text...depending on the reader or listener. We approach every work with respect, but we will not exclude a work because of it being potentially offensive or disrespectful. The nature of our collection is historical due to it being primarily published in 1925 and earlier, and we will be running into works that will raise questions, concerns, or conflicts (i.e. religion, slavery, woman's status in society, treatment of indigenous peoples, etc.) <br />
<br />
We acknowledge that some of the information and perspectives presented may be offensive, or even just plain incorrect, but we're preserving history as presented by people of a specific time period without making judgements or statements about these perspectives.<br />
<br />
===May I change the text?===<br />
<br />
Occasionally people ask if they can change the published text, for instance by omitting or substituting offensive words or ideas. <br />
<br />
The answer is '''No.''' We present the text as it is written: no additions, omissions, or substitutions. If the text contains a word you just cannot say, consider choosing something else to record. (There is so much available to record! No need to cause yourself discomfort.) If you wish to make an "editorial comment" about the content of the text, you may do so in the written catalog summary, but you may not add it to the recording.<br />
<br />
===I'd like to record a book that's already in the LibriVox catalog. Is that OK?===<br />
<br />
Yes! As long as the book is in the US public domain, you can record it for LibriVox, even if we have other versions.<br />
<br />
Please note that we do not allow the same recording to be used in more than one LibriVox project. For example, if you record a poem for a LibriVox poetry collection and later decide to record a book of poetry that includes the same poem, you must make a new recording of that poem.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=ProofListening_Template&diff=32151ProofListening Template2022-01-23T17:28:31Z<p>Jo2: /* How to modify the template */</p>

<hr />
<div>Before a project enters the [http://librivox.org/search LibriVox Catalog], usually all its audio files are proof-listened.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is proof-listening? ==<br />
<br />
Proof-listening is the process of listening to a recording in order to catch recording mistakes, and verify that the file meets the technical requirements. All recordings are "prooflistened" to catch repeats, big stumbles or long pauses. A ''Proof-Listener'' (PL) is the volunteer who does the proof-listening, and will report back any errors in the file. <br />
<br />
'''Note to all Prooflisteners:''' We do not allow computer-generated (synthesized) voices in our recordings. LibriVox recordings must be recorded by volunteers using their own voices. If you PL a section that sounds like it may be computer-generated, please PM the MC for the project for a second opinion before marking the section as PL OK.<br />
<br />
== What is a Dedicated Proof-Listener? ==<br />
<br />
A ''Dedicated Proof-Listener (DPL)'' is a volunteer who commits to PL-ing all the files in a project. Being a DPL can be a big commitment if the project is a very large one. If you are not the DPL of the project, please do not jump in and PL sections unless the DPL or BC has specifically asked for help with the PLing.<br />
<br />
A DPL can keep track of their PL workload by going to their Reader page, clicking on Reader Section Details, then clicking on PL View. This lists their DPL projects and which stage of PL each section is currently in.<br />
<br />
== How to Proof-listen ==<br />
<br />
The topmost thread of the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=61 ProofListeners and Editors Wanted Forum] has a lot of information: [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?t=17680 Listeners & Editors Wanted FAQs]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Find a project ===<br />
<br />
In order to proof-listen (PL), you must first '''find a project''' in need of a PLer. There are many ways to do this. <br />
* Check the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=61 Prooflisteners or Editors Wanted Forum] and pick a project that interests you. <br />
* Browse the Readers Wanted forums, and find a project that interests you there. Projects with a tilde (~) at the beginning of the subject line do not have a DPL.<br />
* Check the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=28 Launch Pad]. Some of the new projects are looking for a Dedicated PLer.<br />
<br />
=== Levels of Proof-listening ===<br />
<br />
Always check the first post for the level of proof-listening requested, or post in the thread to ask. '''Please do not offer feedback beyond the level requested.''' <br />
<br />
# In general, we ask for '''standard listening''' -- repeats and gaps:<br />
## Listen for repeated words or passages that the reader likely intended to edit out. <br />
## Note any long pauses or bad background noises that disrupt the flow of your listening pleasure.<br />
## Note that the intro and outro has the correct wording as noted in the first post of the project thread, and 5 seconds of silence at the end.<br />
## If the recording seems too loud or too quiet, please note that as well.<br />
## It is NOT necessary for you to follow along with the text; just listen as you would normally. <br />
# A request for '''word-perfect''' (example: Einstein's Relativity) includes all of the above, and reading along:<br />
## Follow along with the online text and note any differences between what is written and what you hear. (Note: sometimes the online text is wrong, or differs from the edition that a reader worked from! It is important to use public domain texts. In some cases, the corrected text is actually under copyright(example: Ulysses)! If in doubt, ask the BC.)<br />
# A reader may request '''special''' feedback, and that would be whatever was asked for. (example: "Needs listeners who can understand French / Spanish / ...") The special need will be explained in the top post for that Prooflistening thread.<br />
# And some Prooflistener requests are '''CC - Constructive Criticism sought.'''<br />
## Sometimes folks would like feedback on how to improve their reading style or their recording setup -- they'll write CC at the head of their subject line and post details in the top post about what type of feedback they want.<br />
<br />
=== Prooflistener Notes ===<br />
<br />
A good prooflistener note gives the minute and second at which a gap or repeat or whatever other mistake occurred. It's good to give some context if needed to make searching in the text easy:<br />
:12:33 repeat, "She shells sea-- " (it's at 12 minutes, 33 seconds)<br />
:27:54 gap, about 7 seconds<br />
:31:02 "She nodded in commission" should be "She nodded in commiseration", <br />
:35:16 "He fell of the high horse of his" I hear "high course of his"<br />
<br />
In order to see the timecode, you will need to download the file and open it in a media player. When you simply click on a file, it will often open in QuickTime in the browser window (on some computers), but that window will not show time code. If you open the QuickTime application and then open the saved audio file in QuickTime, you will see timecode.<br />
<br />
Folks quickly learn to edit any errors in their file from last to first -- that way the timecode notes stay accurate during correction.<br />
<br />
== Feedback and Fine Lines ==<br />
<br />
Please see [http://librivox.org/pages/feedback/ Feedback], a LibriVox web page explaining the function of feedback in a kind and productive community.<br />
<br />
We try to catch things like long silences, repeated text, editing problems, volume problems, static, etc. But we don’t really make comments on reading style — too fast/too slow, not enough oomph. For instance, we '''never''' say: “This reader is not good enough for LibriVox.”<br />
<br />
Our policy is to accept ANY reader who wishes to read for us. We have such a huge task ahead of us: to record all the books in the public domain! We can’t achieve that without an open door policy for everyone who wants to help. Plus, it’s part of the LibriVox way. We welcome anyone who wants to help. That’s how we got this far, and we want to go a lot further.<br />
<br />
All that being said: WE DO CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OUR RECORDINGS.<br />
<br />
If you're ever uneasy about a file you've prooflistened, send a PM* to the Book Coordinator or Meta Coordinator (MC) or to any admin you're comfortable talking to. (*Private Message -- use the PM button at the bottom of a post by the person you want to message)<br />

[[Category:Guide]]</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Guia_para_Revisores_de_%C3%81udio_(Proof-listeners)&diff=32141Guia para Revisores de Áudio (Proof-listeners)2022-01-20T19:43:32Z<p>Jo2: /* Encontrar um projecto */</p>
<hr />
<div>Normalmente, antes de um projeto entrar no LibriVox Catalog, todos os arquivos de áudio são revistos (proof-listened). <br />
<br />
<br />
== O que é fazer a Revisão de Áudio? ==<br />
<br />
Fazer a revisão de áudio é o processo em que alguém ouve uma gravação, a fim de detetar erros de gravação e verificar se o arquivo respeita os requisitos técnicos. Todas as gravações são revistas para detetar repetições, erros grandes ou pausas longas. O Revisor de Áudio (RA) é o voluntário que faz a prova de escuta, e informará sobre os erros no arquivo. <br />
<br />
<br />
== O que é um Revisor de Áudio Atribuído? ==<br />
<br />
Um Revisor de Áudio Atribuído (RAA), é um voluntário que se compromete a rever todos os arquivos de um projeto. Ser um RAA pode ser um grande compromisso, se o projeto for extenso. O RAA não tem exclusividade na revisão de áudio do projeto, mas a maioria das pessoas não vai fazer uma revisão áudio a uma secção se já houver um RAA envolvido no projeto.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Como fazer a Revisão de Áudio ==<br />
<br />
O tópico de discussão, que está postado mais acima na listagem de tópicos de Listening Forum, tem muita informação:[http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=724 Listeners & Editors Wanted FAQs]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Encontrar um projecto ===<br />
<br />
Para fazer revisão de áudio, você deve primeiro encontrar um projeto que precise de um RA. Há muitas maneiras de o fazer. <br />
* Verifique o [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=61 ProofListeners & Editors Wanted Forum] e escolha um projeto que lhe interesse.<br />
* Procure nos fóruns "Readers Wanted", e encontre um projeto que lhe interesse.<br />
* Verifique o [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=28 Launch Pad]. Alguns dos novos projectos estão à procura de um RAA.<br />
<br />
=== Níveis de Revisão de Áudio ===<br />
<br />
Verifique sempre o primeiro post para saber qual o nível PL solicitado, ou deixe uma mensagem no tópico para perguntar. '''Por favor, não dê feedback além do nível que lhe foi pedido. .'''<br />
<br />
# Em geral, nós pedimos por "revisor padrão" ('''standard listening''') -- repetições e pausas:<br />
## Escute a gravação para perceber se há palavras ou passagens repetidas que o leitor provavelmente pretendia cortar na edição. <br />
## Verifique se há uma qualquer pausa longa ou ruídos de fundo que atrapalhem a fluidez da escuta.<br />
## Verifique se tanto a introdução como o texto de fim da gravação condizem com as instruções dadas no primeiro post do projeto e, se existem 5 segundos de silêncio no fim da gravação (ou 10 segundos se a gravação tiver mais que 30 minutos).<br />
## Se o som da gravação lhe parecer demasiado alto ou baixo, também deve referir isso. <br />
## NÃO é necessário seguir com o texto; basta ouvir como você faria normalmente. <br />
# Um pedido para revisão palavra perfeita (word-perfect) (Exemplo: A Relatividade de Einstein) inclui todos os itens mencionados acima mas acompanhando a leitura com suporte do texto: <br />
## Siga a leitura pelo texto online e tome nota de qualquer diferença entre o que está escrito e o que ouve. (Nota: Às vezes, o texto online está errado, ou diferente da edição com que o leitor trabalhou. É importante a utilização de textos em domínio público. Em alguns casos, o texto corrigido é, na verdade, protegido por direitos de autor (por exemplo: Ulisses)! Em caso de dúvida, Pergunte ao CL (Coordenador do Livro)). <br />
# Um leitor pode solicitar um feedback especial, e que poderá ser referente a qualquer coisa que tenha sido solicitada. (Exemplo: "Precisam-se de ouvintes que saibam Francês/Espanhol/...") Qualquer necessidade especial será explicada no primeiro post do tópico para o qual é necessária essa revisão de áudio.<br />
# E, alguns dos pedidos para RA são para o nível CC - Crítica Construtiva.<br />
## Às vezes as pessoas preferem comentários que os ajudassem a melhorar seu estilo de leitura ou suas configurações de gravação - elas vão escrever CC no início da linha de assunto e, no primeiro post vão explicar em detalhe o tipo de feedback que pretendem.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Notas do Revisor de Áudio ===<br />
<br />
Uma boa nota de um revisor de áudio fornece o minuto e segundo em que uma pausa, repetição ou outro erro ocorreu<br />
:12:33 repetição, "As conchas do mar..." (aos 12 minutos, 33 segundos)<br />
:27:54 pausa, cerca de 7 segundos<br />
:31:02 "comiseração", leia "comissão"<br />
<br />
Para ver o tempo do áudio, você vai precisar baixar o arquivo e abri-lo num leitor de áudio. Quando só se clica num arquivo, na maioria das vezes o ficheiro abre no QuickTime na janela do navegador (em alguns computadores), mas essa janela não exibirá o tempo do áudio. Se abrir o aplicativo QuickTime e em seguida abrir o arquivo de áudio guardado no QuickTime, você verá o tempo.<br />
<br />
As pessoas depressa aprendem a editar os erros do seu arquivo do último para o primeiro - desta maneira as notas sobre os tempos permanecem precisas durante toda a correção. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feedback e Linhas de Orientação ==<br />
<br />
Por favor, consulte Feedback [http://librivox.org/feedback/ Feedback], uma página web LibriVox explicando a função do feedback em uma comunidade amigável e produtiva.<br />
<br />
Tentamos detetar coisas como silêncios longos, texto repetido, problemas de edição, problemas de volume, estática, etc. Mas, de facto, nós não fazemos comentários sobre o estilo de leitura - muito rápido/muito lento, não é animado o bastante. Por exemplo, nós nunca dizemos: "Este leitor não é suficientemente bom para o LibriVox".<br />
<br />
A nossa política é aceitar QUALQUER leitor que queira ler para nós. Nós temos pela frente uma tarefa gigantesca: gravar todos os livros em domínio público! Não é possível consegui-lo sem uma política de abrir a porta a todos os que queiram ajudar. Além disso, faz parte do estilo LibriVox. Damos as boas-vindas a todos os que querem ajudar. Foi assim que chegamos até aqui, e queremos ir muito mais além. <br />
<br />
Independentemente de tudo o que foi dito: NÓS PREOCUPAMOS-NOS COM A QUALIDADE DAS NOSSAS GRAVAÇÕES.<br />
<br />
Se não estiver confiante sobre um arquivo que você reviu, envie uma MP* para o Coordenador do Livro (CL) ou Meta Coordenador (MC) ou a qualquer administrador com quem você se sinta confortável para falar. (* Mensagem Privada - use o botão MP (PM em inglês) que está ao fundo de qualquer post colocado pela pessoa a quem você quer mandar uma mensagem.<br />

# Vous ne verrez pas l'écran principal, mais sera prise directement à l'écran de connexion.<br />
# Connectez-vous avec votre nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe (voir ci-dessus).<br />
# Vous serez amené à l'écran Section Compiler (section compilateur) pour votre projet où vous pouvez mettre à jour et ou modifier les informations qui apparaît dans la boîte.<br />
<br />
=Modification de la zone de l'écran Section Compiler (section compilateur): remplissage dans la boîte=<br />
<br />
Il ya une vidéo montrant les actions de base dans la Section Compiler: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOP4tcr1kl8 on Youtube].<br />
<br />
== Pour ajouter des titres dans la Section Compiler (section compilateur) ==<br />
<br />
Souvent, un livre aura titres de chapitre. Il est une bonne pratique de les utiliser comme vos titres de section.<br />
<br />
<br />
Titres dans la boîte seront utilisés lors du catalogage et ajoutés à des fichiers comme les tags ID3. Par conséquent, entrez les titres exactement comme vous le souhaitez qu'ils apparaissent plus tard, se souvenant que le numéro de la section sera automatiquement ajouté au début de chaque titre. Cela rendra les fichiers sortable. Ainsi, un titre entré comme "Chapitre I" dans la boîte recevra un titre de balise ID3 "01 - Chapitre I" au cours du processus de catalogage. Pour ajouter des titres:<br />
<br />
# Cliquez sur le lien 'BC admin' ci-dessous la boîte.<br />
# Cliquez dans un champ "Titre". Tapez (ou coller) le chapitre ou nom de la section. ''Ne pas ajouter le numéro de l'article! Le nouveau système va ajouter ces automatiquement lors du catalogage.''<br />
# Cliquez ''Return/Enter'' (Retour / Entrée) sur votre clavier pour ''Save'' (Enregistrer) le titre.<br />
# Continuez à ajouter des titres pour toutes les sections de la même façon.<br />
# '''Important:''' La colonne de titre ne devrait comprendre que le texte brut pour le titre du chapitre. Pas de liens, les auteurs ou toute autre information. Si vous avez besoin de cette information pour montrer dans la boîte, s'il vous plaît entrer dans la colonne 'Notes'.<br />
# Si cela est un projet non-anglais, tapez les titres avec les accents corrects ou avec les caractères non-anglais.<br />
'''Ne pas inclure les caractères suivants dans les titres de section (ou les balises ID3)<br />
" ; / & > or <'''<br />
<br />
'''Exemple d'une boîte:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Example.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Pour ajouter le nombre de mots, des liens vers le texte, ou notes PL ==<br />
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'ajouter le nombre de mots aux chapitres de votre projet solo, sauf si vous souhaitez faire référence à vous-même. Les discussions du Forum ont montré que la vitesse de lecture moyenne est d'env. 2000 mots en 15 minutes. Comment compter les mots, voir: [[Word Count]]<br />
<br />
# Cliquez dans la colonne des notes à ajouter le nombre de mots, liens texte, les durées de fichiers ou d'autres notes. Ce champ peut contenir html ainsi que du texte simple.<br />
# Cliquez sur Save (Enregistrer) pour enregistrer vos modifications.<br />
'' Remarque: '''Il faut''' cliquer sur Save (Enregistrer) avant de quitter le champ pour enregistrer les informations. Si vous passez à un nouveau domaine ou une nouvelle fenêtre sans cliquer sur Enregistrer, vous allez perdre votre travail. ''<br />
<br />
'''Exemple d'une boîte::'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Wordcount.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Pour ajouter des liens vers le texte==<br />
Si votre projet a une demande spéciale PL tels que l'auditeur doit suivre avec le texte, il est bon de fournir un lien direct vers la section. Cela peut fonctionner avec des archives et de Google Books textes, mais ne réussit pas toujours avec des textes Gutenberg.<br />
<br />
# Cliquez dans le champ "Notes".<br />
# Collez le code suivant: <font color=red><tt><a href="">Link to text</a></tt></font><br />
# Cliquez sur Save (Enregistrer) avant de quitter le domaine, ou vous perdrez votre travail!<br />
# Maintenant, ouvrir le champ à nouveau, et entre les guillemets, coller dans l'URL pour le texte, par exemple, <font color=red><tt><nowiki>https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en</nowiki></tt></font><br />
# Donc, le tout apparaît comme: <font color=red><tt><nowiki><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en">Link to text</a></nowiki></tt></font><br />
# Cliquez sur le bouton Save (Enregistrer).<br />
# Faites un clic droit de votre nouveau lien pour ouvrir dans un nouvel onglet et assurez-vous qu'il fonctionne :).<br />
<br />
'''Exemple:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Admin.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=Ajouter des fichiers soumis=<br />
Quand ils soumettent les fichiers, les lecteurs devraient fournir l'emplacement du fichier (une URL) et la durée du fichier. Le dernier point est important parce que votre MC a besoin pendant le catalogage pour vérifier le fichier n'a pas été tronqué.<br />
<br />
==Ajouter des durées de fichiers==<br />
Voir 5.2 ci-dessus.<br />
<br />
==Ajouter lien pour le fichier téléchargé==<br />
# Cliquez dans la colonne 'Listen URL' et collez le lien fourni par le 'Uploader'.<br />
# Cliquez Entrée de votre clavier pour enregistrer.<br />
# NOTE: Soyez prudent que le 'Listen URL' ne comprend pas les espaces supplémentaires au début ou à la fin. Cela entraînera votre MC un casse-tête au cours du processus de catalogage! La meilleure façon d'éviter ces mauvaises erreurs d'espace blanc est de copier le lien en cliquant droit dessus et de sélectionner l'adresse du lien de copie. Puis faites un clic droit dans la colonne 'Listen URL' dans la Section Compiler (section compilateur) et choisissez Coller.<br />
# Un lien vers le nouveau fichier apparaît dans la colonne 'Link'.<br />
<br />
==Modification de le statut d'une section ==<br />
Cette information apparaît dans la dernière colonne de la boîte. Votre auditeur peut voir dans la boîte le statut de chaque section, mais aussi il peut voir le statut sur sa page personnelle, car il montre qu'il a une section dont il a besoin pour l'écouter ou vérifier corrections. Donc, s'il vous plaît utiliser cette fonctionnalité!<br />
<br />
# Pour modifier le statut d'une section, cliquez dans la colonne 'Status'. Utilisez la flèche vers le bas pour développer la liste et cliquez ensuite sur le statut approprié.<br />
<br />
(Autre méthode: Cliquez une fois pour développer la liste, puis tapez la première lettre de l'état (par exemple, P pour le PL OK) et appuyez sur Entrée pour enregistrer.)<br />
<br />
'''Comment utiliser les désignations de statut:'''<br />
*'''Open''' - pas de lecteur attribué<br />
*'''Assigned''' – section assignée à un lecteur<br />
*'''Ready for PL''' – fichier téléchargé par le lecteur et prêt à écouter<br />
*'''See PL Notes''' – auditeur a écouté le fichier et posté modifications pour le lecteur<br />
*'''Ready for spot PL''' – Le lecteur a fait les modifications demandées et le fichier est prêt pour l'auditeur pour vérifier<br />
*'''PL OK''' – fichier est prêt au catalogue<br />
<br />
Remarque: Les lignes du section compilateur ne changera pas de couleur. Lorsque vous revenez sur le forum, des sections ouvertes apparaissent en bleu dans la boîte et PL OK sera verte. Prêt pour PL et prêt pour Spot PL aura le texte en bleu, et Voir les notes PL aura rouge.<br />
<br />
=Instructions spéciales pour Collections - pour entrer les métadonnées des sections=<br />
Si vous lisez une collection ou une compilation solo, vous aurez également besoin d'ajouter l'auteur et la source et la langue pour chaque section aux métadonnées de la section.<br />
<br />
# Cliquez sur l'icône dans la colonne Meta à côté du titre. <br />
# Ceci ouvre une nouvelle zone dans la partie supérieure de la table où vous entrerez l'auteur, le lien vers la source du texte, et la langue.<br />
## Pour entrer l'auteur, cliquez dans le champ de l'auteur et tapez quelques lettres du nom de l'auteur. Sélectionnez l'auteur correct dans la liste déroulante. (Voir les notes ci-dessous pour des cas particuliers.)<br />
###Si vous ne connaissez pas le nom de l'auteur, s'il vous plaît choisissez "Unknown" de la liste des auteurs. Utilisez "Anonymous" si cela est spécifié dans le texte. Si l'auteur n'est pas une personne, essayez d'entrer les premières lettres de l'agence, l'entreprise ou l'organisation pour le trouver dans la liste.<br />
###''Si l'auteur que vous essayez d'entrer n'est pas sur la liste déroulante, cela signifie que cet auteur n'est pas encore dans la base. S'il vous plaît, contactez votre MC pour ajouter l'auteur. '' Si vous connaissez les dates de la naissance et de la mort de l'auteur et un lien Wikipedia, s'il vous plaît les fournir à votre MC avec le nom complet de l'auteur et des pseudonymes connus.<br />
###Si un auteur utilise un pseudonyme, et vous ne pouvez pas le trouver dans la liste, s'il vous plaît essayer le vrai nom de l'auteur. Seule l'entrée principale affiche sur la liste déroulante, mais les pseudonymes sont consultables dans le catalogue. Dans ce cas, dites à votre MC afin qu'ils puissent veiller à ce que le pseudonyme est associé à l'entrée de l'auteur dans la base de données.<br />
###Si vous avez d'autres questions sur les auteurs (par exemple, l'orthographe semble incorrect, il y a plusieurs auteurs ou des traducteurs), s'il vous plaît contactez votre MC.<br />
##Copier et coller le lien de texte dans le champ 'Source'. Si toutes les parties sont d'une source commune (comme un livre d'histoires ou poèmes), s'il vous plaît coller le même lien vers le texte en ligne pour toutes les sections.<br />
##Utilisez le menu déroulant pour changer la langue par défaut que si cela est une collection multilingue. ## '' Ne faites pas les entrées dans le champ Duration (Durée) ou dans les champs pour les urls mp3. Ces champs seront remplis automatiquement lorsque votre MC ajoutera le projet au catalogue.''<br />
##'''Cliquez sur Add (ajouter) pour enregistrer vos entrées.''' <br />
#Note: les métadonnées ne sera pas affichées dans la boîte. Il est là pour que l'information apparaît sur les pages du catalogue et est consultable. Si vous voulez l'auteur et un lien texte à afficher dans la boîte, il faut entrer ces derniers dans le champ 'Notes' ainsi que dans les champs de métadonnées. Ne pas entrer tout cela dans le domaine de titre!<br />
<br />
=S'il faut changer le nombre de lignes dans le tableau?=<br />
<br />
#Pour ajouter une section à la table, cliquez sur le bouton 'Add new section' (ajouter nouvelle section) en haut de la table.<br />
#Vous pouvez remplir le titre, lecteur et notes d'informations et puis cliquez sur 'Add' (ajouter) ou vous pouvez simplement cliquer sur 'Add' (ajouter) pour ajouter une ligne vide.<br />
#La nouvelle section apparaît au bas de la table.<br />
#Pour déplacer une ligne vers un nouvel emplacement dans le tableau, il suffit de cliquer sur la ligne que vous souhaitez déplacer dans la colonne des numéros de section et faire glisser la ligne où vous voulez dans le tableau.<br />
#Les lignes seront automatiquement renumérotés.<br />
#Si vous avez besoin de supprimer des lignes, s'il vous plaît les déplacez vers le bas du tableau, puis demandez à votre MC pour les supprimer.<br />
#Remarque: la fonction de clicquer et de glisser peut-être ne fonctionne pas sur les écrans de tablettes.<br />

=FAQ=<br />
==Are there rules about how we must enter information in the "Notes" fields?==<br />
You can enter information in the "notes" fields in whatever format is most efficient for you. There's no real standard; just try to keep everything as clear and comprehensible as possible for you, your MC, and your proof-listeners. <br />
<br />
==What do I do if I have a work which is divided into several "books", each with subdivisions, e.g. "Book Two, Chapter Four, Part Three"?==<br />
When you first enter the project, total up how many files you will have. Enter this number in the "Number of Sections" field (this usually corresponds to the eventual "track number") in the Template Generator. Then type out the names of all the sections into the "Title" fields. (See 5.2 above.)<br />
<br />
==Can I see a list of all the projects I'm working on?==<br />
Yup! Go to the "Projects" drop down and select "My Projects."<br />

<br />
=Accessing the System – First Time Login=<br />
# Use this Link to go the main login screen: http://librivox.org/workflow<br />
# Click on '''Login (for BCs & MCs)'''<br />
# Enter your forum username.<br />
# Click “Forgot Password” (Note: Your forum password will not work here!!)<br />
# You will receive an email with a link to reset your password. Click the link and enter a password and submit the form. <br />
# Go back to the main login screen and use the new password you entered above to log in to the system. <br />
# When you log in from the main screen above, you will be taken to the LibriVox Management Dashboard default screen where you should see a list of your active projects along with options for dropdown menus, searching and editing your profile. (more on this later)<br />
<br />
For more explicit step by step directions with screen shots, please see this document: https://librivox.org/uploads/xx-nonproject/Firsttimeaccessing_workflowsystem.pdf<br />
<br />
<br />
NOTE: Soloists should use their personal workflow login to upload files. If you recently logged in with the general login to upload files to a project and the system still had you logged in, you may see this:<br />
<br />
''You don't have permissions for this area.'' <br />
<br />
''Return to Librivox Management Tool Homepage''<br />
<br />
''Logout''<br />
<br />
To remedy this, click ''Logout'' and then login with your personal login and password.<br />
<br />
=Changing your Workflow Password after your first login – Editing "My Profile"=<br />
# Click on the My Profile link at the upper right of the screen.<br />
# You will see a popup that shows your username, catalog display name and your personal website if you provided one, as well as the option to change your password. If you wish to change your password (we recommend using the same one as your forum login for simplicity), enter it in the Password field and again in the Confirm Password field and then click Save Changes.<br />
# If you have forgotten your password and can’t login to the system, follow the instructions under the First Time Login to reset your password.<br />
<br />
=Login from the Forum (after first time login!)=<br />
<br />
'''Click the BC admin link under the Magic Window for your project'''<br />
# You will not see the main screen, but will be taken directly to the login screen<br />
# Login with your username and password (see above)<br />
# You will be taken to the Section Compiler screen for your project where you can update and or edit the information that appears in the Magic Window.<br />
<br />
=Editing the Magic Window from the Section Compiler Screen: Filling in the Magic Window=<br />
<br />
There's a video showing basic actions in the Section Compiler, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOP4tcr1kl8 on Youtube].<br />
<br />
== Entering titles into the Section Compiler ==<br />
<br />
Often a book will have chapter titles. It's good to include these as your section titles.<br />
<br />
Titles in the Magic Window will be used during cataloging and added to files as ID3 tags. Therefore, enter the titles as you'd like them to appear later, remembering that the section number will be automatically added to the beginning of each title. This will make the files sortable. So a title entered as "Chapter I" in the MW will be given an ID3 title tag of "01 - Chapter I" during the cataloging process. To add titles:<br />
<br />
# Click on the BC admin link under your MW.<br />
# Click in a "Title" field. Type (or paste) the chapter/section name. '''Do not add the section number! The new system will add these automatically during cataloging.'''<br />
# Hit '''"return/enter"''' on your keyboard to '''save''' the title.<br />
# Continue adding titles for all the sections in the same manner. <br />
# '''Important:''' The title column should only include plain text for the chapter title. No links, authors or other info. If you need this information to show in the magic window, please enter it in the Notes column.<br />
# If this is a non-English project, enter the titles with the proper accents or non-English characters.<br />
'''Do not include the following characters in section titles (or ID3 tags)<br />
" ; / & > or <'''<br />
<br />
'''Example of a Magic Window:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Example.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Adding Word Counts, Text Links or PL Notes ==<br />
It is not necessary to add word counts to the chapters of your solo project, unless you want to do it for your own reference. Forum discussions have shown that average reading speed is approx. 2000 words in 15 minutes. How to count the words, see: [[Word Count]]<br />
<br />
We try to limit sections to about 72 minutes, so they can fit on an audio CD. If your chapters are longer than that, please consider splitting them. <br />
<br />
# Click inside the notes column to add word counts, text links, file durations or other notes. This field can contain html as well as simple text.<br />
# Click Save to save your edits. <br />
''Note: You '''must''' click Save before leaving the field in order to save the information. If you switch to a new field or new window without clicking Save, you will lose your work.'' <br />
<br />
'''Example of a Magic Window:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Wordcount.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Adding links to text sections==<br />
If your project has a special PL request such that the listener needs to follow along with the text, it's nice to provide a direct link to the section. This can work with Archive and Google Books texts, and sometimes works with Gutenberg texts.<br />
<br />
# Click in the "Notes" field.<br />
# Paste in this code: <font color=red><tt><a href="">Link to text</a></tt></font><br />
# Click Save before leaving the field, or you'll lose your work!<br />
# Now, between the quotation marks, paste in the URL to the text, e.g. <font color=red><tt><nowiki>https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en</nowiki></tt></font><br />
# So the whole thing reads: <font color=red><tt><nowiki><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en">Link to text</a></nowiki></tt></font><br />
# Click the "Save" button.<br />
# Right click your new link to open in a new tab and make sure it works :)<br />
<br />
'''Example of admin:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Admin.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=Adding submitted files=<br />
When they are submitting files, readers should provide the file location (a URL) and the file duration. The latter is important because your MC needs it during cataloguing to check the file hasn't been chopped off somewhere during the process.<br />
<br />
==Adding file durations==<br />
See 5.2 above.<br />
<br />
==Adding link to uploaded file==<br />
# Click in the Listen URL column and paste the link provided by the reader. <br />
# '''Hit Enter on your keyboard to Save.''' <br />
# NOTE: Please be careful that the Listen URL does not include any extra spaces at the beginning or the end. This will cause your MC a big headache during the cataloging process!! The best way to avoid these bad white space errors is to copy the link by right clicking on it and selecting copy link location. Then right click in the Listen URL column in the Section Compiler and choose paste.<br />
# A link to the new file will appear in the Link column. <br />
<br />
==Changing the status of a section==<br />
This information shows in the last column of the MW. In addition to displaying at a glance what is the status of each section in your project, DPLs can see the status on their personal page, showing if they have a section to PL or spot check. So do use this feature!<br />
<br />
# To change the status of a section, click in the status column. Use the down arrow to expand the list and then click on the appropriate status. <br />
<br />
(Alternate method: Click once in the status column, then type the first letter of the desired status (i.e., R for Ready for PL, P for PL OK) and hit enter to save.)<br />
<br />
'''The status designations:'''<br />
*'''Open''' - no reader assigned<br />
*'''Assigned''' – section assigned to a reader<br />
*'''Ready for PL''' – file uploaded by the reader and ready for proof listening<br />
*'''See PL Notes''' – proof listener has listened to the file and posted edits for the reader<br />
*'''Ready for spot PL''' – The reader has made the requested edits and the file is ready for the proof listener to spot check<br />
*'''PL OK''' – file is ready to catalog<br />
<br />
Note: The section compiler rows will not change color. When you go back to the forum, Open sections will appear blue in the Magic Window and PL OK will be green. Ready for PL and Ready for Spot PL will have blue text, and See PL Notes will have red text.<br />
<br />
=Special Instructions for Collections – Entering Section Metadata=<br />
If you are soloing a collection or compilation, you will also need to add the author and source and language for each section to the section metadata. <br />
<br />
# Click on the icon in the Meta column next to the title. <br />
# This opens a new area at the top of the table where you will enter the Author, Text Source link and Language. <br />
## To enter the author, click in the author field and type a few letters of the author's last name. Select the correct author from the dropdown list. (See notes below for special cases.)<br />
###If you don’t know the author’s name, please choose “Unknown” from the author list. Use “Anonymous” if that is specified on the text. If the author is not a person, try entering the first few letters of the agency, company or organization to find it in the list. <br />
###''If the author you are trying to enter is not on the dropdown list, that means this author is not in the database yet. Please contact your MC to have the author added.'' If you have the author’s dates of birth and death and a Wikipedia link, please provide these to your MC along with the author’s full name and any known pseudonyms. <br />
###If an author uses a pseudonym, and you can’t find it in the list, please try the author’s real name. Only the main entry shows on the dropdown list, but pseudonyms are searchable in the catalog. In this case, let your MC know so they can check to make sure the pseudonym is associated with the author’s entry in the database. <br />
###If you have any other questions about authors (i.e. spelling seems incorrect, multiple authors, translators, etc.), please contact your MC.<br />
##Copy and Paste the text link in the source field. If all the sections are from a common source (like a book of short stories or poems), just past the same link to the online text for the book in for all the sections. <br />
##Use the dropdown to change the language from the default if this is a multilingual collection. ##''Do not make any entries in the Duration field or in the fields for the mp3 urls. These fields will be automatically filled in when your MC catalogs the project.'' <br />
##'''Click Add to save your entries.''' <br />
#Note: the metadata will not display in the magic window. It is there so the information appears on the catalog pages and is searchable. If you want the author and text link to show in the magic window, you will need to enter these into the Notes field as well as in the metadata fields. Do not enter any of this in title field!!<br />
<br />
=What if I need to change the number of rows in the table?=<br />
#To add a section to the table, click the button "Add new section" at the top of the table. <br />
#You can fill in the title, reader and notes info and then click Add or you can just click Add to add a blank row. <br />
#The new section will appear at the bottom of the table.<br />
#To move a row to a new location in the table, simply click in the row you want to move in the section numbers column and drag and drop the row where you want it in the table. <br />
#The rows will automatically be renumbered. <br />
#If you need rows deleted, please move them to the bottom of the table and then ask your MC to delete them. <br />
#Note: the click and drag function may not work on tablet screens.<br />
<br />
<br />

=FAQ=<br />
==Are there rules about how we must enter information in the "Notes" fields?==<br />
You can enter information in the "notes" fields in whatever format is most efficient for you. There's no real standard; just try to keep everything as clear and comprehensible as possible for you, your MC, and your proof-listeners. <br />
<br />
==What do I do if I have a work which is divided into several "books", each with subdivisions, e.g. "Book Two, Chapter Four, Part Three"?==<br />
When you first enter the project, total up how many files you will have. Enter this number in the "Number of Sections" field (this usually corresponds to the eventual "track number") in the Template Generator. Then type out the names of all the sections into the "Title" fields. (See 5.2 above.)<br />
<br />
==Can I see a list of all the projects I'm working on?==<br />
Yup! Go to the "Projects" drop down and select "My Projects."<br />

<hr />
<div>Thank you for committing to listen to an entire project as DPL (Dedicated Proof Listener)! Below are instructions on how to log into and update the Magic Window. <br />
<br />
Please note, being a DPL means you'll need to keep an eye on the project, so you can download and give feedback on files reasonably quickly. If you're unable to do this for whatever reason (if you're away on holiday for a while, for instance, or if your life has just gotten too busy for this) it's NO problem at all, just let the BC (Book Coordinator) know.<br />
<br />

<br />
=Adding PL notes=<br />
The Notes field in the Magic Window uses html. You may use any basic html coding you prefer in that field. Two methods are below:<br />
<br />
==Adding page number notation==<br />
In the above image, the PL notes are indicated as being on a certain forum page. You may do this (in red, if you prefer) by using this code:<br />
<font color=red><nowiki><font color=red>PL note (see pg #)</font></nowiki></font> <br />
(Substitute the page number in the current thread for the # sign)<br />
<br />
==Adding links directly to PL notes==<br />
You may want to link directly to the post you made with the PL notes. This is helpful both to the reader and to the BC, so that they can easily access the PL notes for that section.<br />
<br />
# Click in the "Notes" field.<br />
# Paste in this code: <font color=red><tt>PL notes <a href="" target="_blank">HERE</a></tt></font><br />
# Click Save before leaving the field, or you'll lose your work!<br />
# You'll need to get the URL of the post with the PL notes. Go to the forum post and right click the paper icon in the upper left corner of the post. Select "Cppy link location" from the popup menu.<br />
<br />
'''Example of post icon:'''<br />

<br />
==Changing the status of a section==<br />
This information shows in the last column of the MW.<br />
<br />
* To change the status of a section, click in the status column. Use the down arrow to expand the list and then click on the appropriate status. <br />
<br />
(Alternate method: Click once in the status column, then type the first letter of the desired status (i.e., S for See PL Notes, P for PL OK) and hit enter to save.)<br />
<br />
'''The status designations:'''<br />
*'''Open''' - no reader assigned<br />
*'''Assigned''' – section assigned to a reader<br />
*'''Ready for PL''' – file uploaded by the reader and ready for proof listening<br />
*'''See PL Notes''' – proof listener has listened to the file and posted edits for the reader<br />
*'''Ready for spot PL''' – The reader has made the requested edits and the file is ready for the proof listener to spot check<br />
*'''PL OK''' – file is ready to catalog<br />
As DPL, you will be interested most in the statuses Ready for PL, See PL Notes, Ready for Spot PL, and PL OK. You will change the status of a section to either '''See PL Notes''' or '''PL OK''', depending on whether the section needs correction.<br />
<br />
Note: The section compiler rows will not change color. When you go back to the forum, Open sections will appear blue in the Magic Window and PL OK will be green. Ready for PL and Ready for Spot PL will have blue text, and See PL Notes will have red text.<br />

=FAQ=<br />
==Is there a way to tell which existing projects are looking for a DPL?==<br />
There are three ways to find projects that need a DPL:<br />
# Some projects advertise their need for a DPL in the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21 Listeners & Editors Wanted] forum. These threads will be "stickied" to the top of the forum list.<br />
# Also, the titles of the project threads that have a tilde ~ at the beginning of them do not have a DPL. <br />
# Tired of sifting through the threads looking for projects to PL? You can see a listing of active projects without an assigned DPL on the [[Project Status Table]] wiki page.<br />
You can also volunteer for New Projects as they appear in the [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=28 New Projects Launch Pad] forum. Post directly in the project thread there and ask the BC or soloist if you can be the DPL.<br />
<br />
==Can I see a list of all the projects I'm working on?==<br />
Yup! Go to the "Projects" drop down and select "My Projects."<br />

<br />
There's a video showing basic actions in the Section Compiler, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOP4tcr1kl8 on Youtube].<br />
<br />
== Entering titles into the Section Compiler ==<br />
<br />
Often a book will have chapter titles. It's good to include these in your reader list so your readers know EXACTLY which sections they're signing up for. Give plenty of specific information to avoid confusion!<br />
<br />
Also, titles in the Magic Window will be used during cataloging and added to files as ID3 tags. Therefore, enter the titles as you'd like them to appear later, remembering that the section number will be automatically added to the beginning of each title. This will make the files sortable. So a title entered as "Chapter I" in the MW will be given an ID3 title tag of "01 - Chapter I" during the cataloging process. To add titles:<br />
<br />
# Click on the BC admin link under your MW.<br />
# Click in a "Title" field. Type (or paste) the chapter/section name. '''NEW: Do not add the section number! The new system will add these automatically during cataloging.'''<br />
# Hit '''"return/enter"''' on your keyboard to '''save''' the title.<br />
# Continue adding titles for all the sections in the same manner. <br />
# '''Important:''' The title column should only include plain text for the chapter title. No links, authors or other info. If you need this information to show in the magic window, please enter it in the Notes column.<br />
# If this is a non-English project, enter the titles with the proper accents or non-English characters.<br />
'''Do not include the following characters in section titles (or ID3 tags)<br />
" ; / & > or <'''<br />
<br />

<br />
== Adding Word Counts, Text Links or PL Notes ==<br />
It is very helpful if you enter each section's word count in the Notes field. This will enable readers to choose better which sections they can manage in the time they have available. Forum discussions have shown that average reading speed is approx. 2000 words in 15 minutes. How to count the words, see: [[Word Count]]<br />
<br />
# Click inside the notes column to add word counts, text links, file durations or other notes. This field can contain html as well as simple text.<br />
# Click Save to save your edits. <br />
''Note: You '''must''' click Save before leaving the field in order to save the information. If you switch to a new field or new window without clicking Save, you will lose your work.'' <br />
<br />
'''Example of a Magic Window:'''<br />
[[Image:MW_Wordcount.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==Adding links to text sections==<br />
Sometimes you may want to divide a very long chapter up into smaller sections (most readers prefer sections no longer than 4000 words, i.e. ~30 minutes' reading time). You can give your readers links to those sections (use Google docs or similar to host the text portions). This is also helpful when the sections are not clear-cut, e.g. when there are no chapters.<br />
<br />
# Click in the "Notes" field.<br />
# Paste in this code: <font color=red><tt><a href="">Link to text</a></tt></font><br />
# Click Save before leaving the field, or you'll lose your work!<br />
# Now, between the quotation marks, paste in the URL to the text, e.g. <font color=red><tt><nowiki>https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en</nowiki></tt></font><br />
# So the whole thing reads: <font color=red><tt><nowiki><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcMZiSudHexxZHQ3MjR2d18zZ3RqajNi&hl=en">Link to text</a></nowiki></tt></font><br />
# Click the "Save" button.<br />
# Right click your new link to open in a new tab and make sure it works :)<br />
<br />
'''Example of admin:'''<br />

<br />
=Signing up readers=<br />
== Assigning and removing readers ==<br />
As readers sign up, add them to the reader list.<br />
<br />
# Click on the BC admin link under your MW.<br />
# To assign a reader to a section, click the "'''Assign reader Sections'''" button above the table. <br />
# Enter the first few letters of the reader's username and then select the correct reader from the dropdown list. '''''You must select a reader from the dropdown.''''' Please do not just type in a full username without choosing the reader from the list. <br />
# Enter the section number(s) that are to be assigned to the reader and then click Add.<br />
# The reader assignment should appear in the reader column in the table and the status should change from Open to Assigned.<br />
# To add more than one reader to a section, repeat the process above to add the additional reader(s).<br />
# Optional: Record the date the reader has claimed the section in the Notes field - please use the word for the month as this will be less confusing for volunteers: something like "Claimed 03 June." (Tip: leave in the word count and the text link, if you have one, until the reader actually submits the section. If you have to orphan the section, all you have to do is remove the claim date!) The claim date will be used to determine when sections should be put back in the pool if a reader doesn't submit their recording within the two-month guideline. <br />
# To remove a reader from a section, simply repeat the process above, but click '''Remove''' rather than Add. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:MW_Add_Reader.jpg]]<br />
<br />
== Adding a new reader to the dropdown list ==<br />
'''If your reader is new to LibriVox''' and is not in the dropdown, you will need to add them to the reader list before you can assign them a section to read. <br />
# Click the "Add new reader" button. A popup window will appear. <br />
# Enter the reader's forum username and catalog (display) name and a website if one has been provided. <br />
# Click Add Reader to add the new reader to the system.<br />
# NOTE: If you get an error message that the email can't be found, contact your MC for help. <br />
# Once this is done, you can now assign sections to this reader as outlined above.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Adding submitted files=<br />
When they are submitting files, readers should provide the file location (a URL) and the file duration. The latter is important because your MC needs it during cataloguing to check the file hasn't been chopped off somewhere during the process.<br />
<br />
==Adding file durations==<br />
See 5.2 above.<br />
<br />
==Adding link to uploaded file==<br />
# Click in the Listen URL column and paste the link provided by the reader. <br />
# '''Hit Enter on your keyboard to Save.''' <br />
# NOTE: Please be careful that the Listen URL does not include any extra spaces at the beginning or the end. This will cause your MC a big headache during the cataloging process!! The best way to avoid these bad white space errors is to copy the link by right clicking on it and selecting copy link location. Then right click in the Listen URL column in the Section Compiler and choose paste.<br />
# A link to the new file will appear in the Link column. <br />
<br />
==Changing the status of a section==<br />
This information will show in the last column of the MW.<br />
<br />
# To change the status of a section, click in the status column. Use the down arrow to expand the list and then click on the appropriate status. <br />
<br />
(Alternate method: Click once in the status column, then type the first letter of the desired status (i.e., R for Ready for PL, P for PL OK) and hit enter to save.) <br />
<br />
'''The status designations:'''<br />
*'''Open''' - no reader assigned<br />
*'''Assigned''' – section assigned to a reader<br />
*'''Ready for PL''' – file uploaded by the reader and ready for proof listening<br />
*'''See PL Notes''' – proof listener has listened to the file and posted edits for the reader<br />
*'''Ready for spot PL''' – The reader has made the requested edits and the file is ready for the proof listener to spot check<br />
*'''PL OK''' – file is ready to catalog<br />
<br />
Note: The section compiler rows will not change color. When you go back to the forum, Open sections will appear blue in the Magic Window and PL OK will be green. Ready for PL and Ready for Spot PL will have blue text, and See PL Notes will have red text.<br />
<br />
=Special Instructions for Collections – Entering Section Metadata=<br />
If you are the BC of a collection or compilation, when you enter each section, you will also need to add the author and source and language for each section to the section metadata. <br />
<br />
# Click on the icon in the Meta column next to the title. <br />
# This opens a new area at the top of the table where you will enter the Author, Text Source link and Language. <br />
## To enter the author, click in the author field and type a few letters of the author's last name. Select the correct author from the dropdown list. (See notes below for special cases.)<br />
###If you don’t know the author’s name, please choose “Unknown” from the author list. Use “Anonymous” if that is specified on the text. If the author is not a person, try entering the first few letters of the agency, company or organization to find it in the list. <br />
###''If the author you are trying to enter is not on the dropdown list, that means this author is not in the database yet. Please contact your MC to have the author added.'' If you have the author’s dates of birth and death and a Wikipedia link, please provide these to your MC along with the author’s full name and any known pseudonyms. <br />
###If an author uses a pseudonym, and you can’t find it in the list, please try the author’s real name. Only the main entry shows on the dropdown list, but pseudonyms are searchable in the catalog. In this case, let your MC know so they can check to make sure the pseudonym is associated with the author’s entry in the database. <br />
###If you have any other questions about authors (i.e. spelling seems incorrect, multiple authors, translators, etc.), please contact your MC.<br />
##Copy and Paste the text link in the source field. If all the sections are from a common source (like a book of short stories or poems), just past the same link to the online text for the book in for all the sections. <br />
##Use the dropdown to change the language from the default if this is a multilingual collection. ##''Do not make any entries in the Duration field or in the fields for the mp3 urls. These fields will be automatically filled in when your MC catalogs the project.'' <br />
##'''Click Add to save your entries.''' <br />
#Note: the metadata will not display in the magic window. It is there so the information appears on the catalog pages and is searchable. If you want the author and text link to show in the magic window, you will need to enter these into the Notes field as well as in the metadata fields. Do not enter any of this in title field!!<br />
<br />
=What if I need to change the number of rows in the table?=<br />
#To add a section to the table, click the button "Add new section" at the top of the table. <br />
#You can fill in the title, reader and notes info and then click Add or you can just click Add to add a blank row. <br />
#The new section will appear at the bottom of the table.<br />
#To move a row to a new location in the table, simply click in the row you want to move in the section numbers column and drag and drop the row where you want it in the table. <br />
#The rows will automatically be renumbered. <br />
#If you need rows deleted, please move them to the bottom of the table and then ask your MC to delete them. <br />
#Note: the click and drag function may not work on tablet screens.<br />
<br />
=Special Instructions for Dramatic Works=<br />
#Set up the section compiler with a row for each role or character. (Some BCs find it easier to make rows for each scene/chapter each role is in. This adds a lot of rows to the MW, but it is easier to keep track of which scenes have been submitted.)<br />
#Once editing begins and final acts or chapters are available, add a row to the section compiler for each finished section and put the title. Mark these sections as “Assigned” so they don’t show in the MW as open. <br />
#Do not assign readers to the finished acts/chapters unless your MC instructs you to do this.<br />
#You can leave these rows at the bottom of the table while the project is ongoing or move them to the top, whichever is more convenient. <br />
#The original rows with the individual roles will be deleted when the project is cataloged.<br />
#If instructed by your MC, prepare the cast list to be added to the catalog description. As an aid in doing this try out the [https://ia600309.us.archive.org/0/items/LibrivoxM4bCollectionAudiobooks/CastCoder.html Cast Coder], a nifty app for generating the code needed to add LibriVox Cast Listings to the catalog pages.<br />
<br />

=FAQ=<br />
==Are there rules about how we must enter information in the "Notes" fields?==<br />
You can enter information in the "notes" fields in whatever format is most efficient for you. There's no real standard; just try to keep everything as clear and comprehensible as possible for you, your readers, and your proof-listeners.<br />
<br />
==What do I do if I have a work which is divided into several "books", each with subdivisions, e.g. "Book Two, Chapter Four, Part Three"?==<br />
When you first enter the project, total up how many files you will have. Enter this number in the "Number of Sections" field (this usually corresponds to the eventual "track number") in the Template Generator. Then type out the names of all the sections into the "Title" fields so your readers know exactly what sections they're signing up for. (See 5.2 above.)<br />
<br />
==Can I see a list of all the projects I'm working on?==<br />
Yup! Go to the "Projects" drop down and select "My Projects."<br />

Note: The section compiler rows will not change color. When you go back to the forum, Open sections will appear blue in the Magic Window and PL OK will be green. Ready for PL and Ready for Spot PL will have blue text, and See PL Notes will have red text.<br />
<br />
=Special Instructions for Collections – Entering Section Metadata=<br />
If you are the BC of a collection or compilation, when you enter each section, you will also need to add the author and source and language for each section to the section metadata. <br />
<br />
# Click on the icon in the Meta column next to the title. <br />
# This opens a new area at the top of the table where you will enter the Author, Text Source link and Language. <br />
## To enter the author, click in the author field and type a few letters of the author's last name. Select the correct author from the dropdown list. (See notes below for special cases.)<br />
###If you don’t know the author’s name, please choose “Unknown” from the author list. Use “Anonymous” if that is specified on the text. If the author is not a person, try entering the first few letters of the agency, company or organization to find it in the list. <br />
###''If the author you are trying to enter is not on the dropdown list, that means this author is not in the database yet. Please contact your MC to have the author added.'' If you have the author’s dates of birth and death and a Wikipedia link, please provide these to your MC along with the author’s full name and any known pseudonyms. <br />
###If an author uses a pseudonym, and you can’t find it in the list, please try the author’s real name. Only the main entry shows on the dropdown list, but pseudonyms are searchable in the catalog. In this case, let your MC know so they can check to make sure the pseudonym is associated with the author’s entry in the database. <br />
###If you have any other questions about authors (i.e. spelling seems incorrect, multiple authors, translators, etc.), please contact your MC.<br />
##Copy and Paste the text link in the source field. If all the sections are from a common source (like a book of short stories or poems), just past the same link to the online text for the book in for all the sections. <br />
##Use the dropdown to change the language from the default if this is a multilingual collection. ##''Do not make any entries in the Duration field or in the fields for the mp3 urls. These fields will be automatically filled in when your MC catalogs the project.'' <br />
##'''Click Add to save your entries.''' <br />
#Note: the metadata will not display in the magic window. It is there so the information appears on the catalog pages and is searchable. If you want the author and text link to show in the magic window, you will need to enter these into the Notes field as well as in the metadata fields. Do not enter any of this in title field!!<br />
<br />
=What if I need to change the number of rows in the table?=<br />
#To add a section to the table, click the button "Add new section" at the top of the table. <br />
#You can fill in the title, reader and notes info and then click Add or you can just click Add to add a blank row. <br />
#The new section will appear at the bottom of the table.<br />
#To move a row to a new location in the table, simply click in the row you want to move in the section numbers column and drag and drop the row where you want it in the table. <br />
#The rows will automatically be renumbered. <br />
#If you need rows deleted, please move them to the bottom of the table and then ask your MC to delete them. <br />
#Note: the click and drag function may not work on tablet screens.<br />
<br />
=Special Instructions for Dramatic Works=<br />
#Set up the section compiler with a row for each role or character. (Some BCs find it easier to make rows for each scene/chapter each role is in. This adds a lot of rows to the MW, but it is easier to keep track of which scenes have been submitted.)<br />
#Once editing begins and final acts or chapters are available, add a row to the section compiler for each finished section and put the title. Mark these sections as “Assigned” so they don’t show in the MW as open. <br />
#Do not assign readers to the finished acts/chapters unless your MC instructs you to do this.<br />
#You can leave these rows at the bottom of the table while the project is ongoing or move them to the top, whichever is more convenient. <br />
#The original rows with the individual roles will be deleted when the project is cataloged.<br />
#If instructed by your MC, prepare the cast list to be added to the catalog description. As an aid in doing this try out the [https://ia600309.us.archive.org/0/items/LibrivoxM4bCollectionAudiobooks/CastCoder.html Cast Coder], a nifty app for generating the code needed to add LibriVox Cast Listings to the catalog pages.<br />
<br />
=Other Areas of the Workflow Tool=<br />
Note: If you click on a link that is an MC only area, you will get a page that says you do not have permission for that page. There are links to go back to the main workflow page or logout. To go back to the previous page just use the back button in your browser.<br />

=FAQ=<br />
==Are there rules about how we must enter information in the "Notes" fields?==<br />
You can enter information in the "notes" fields in whatever format is most efficient for you. There's no real standard; just try to keep everything as clear and comprehensible as possible for you, your readers, and your proof-listeners.<br />
<br />
==What do I do if I have a work which is divided into several "books", each with subdivisions, e.g. "Book Two, Chapter Four, Part Three"?==<br />
When you first enter the project, total up how many files you will have. Enter this number in the "Number of Sections" field (this usually corresponds to the eventual "track number") in the Template Generator. Then type out the names of all the sections into the "Title" fields so your readers know exactly what sections they're signing up for. (See 5.2 above.)<br />
<br />
==Can I see a list of all the projects I'm working on?==<br />
Yup! Go to the "Projects" drop down and select "My Projects."<br />
<br />
'''(Have a question? Need clarification? Think something should be added to this page? Found a bug in the system? Have a feature request? Contact your MC or post in the forum.)'''</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=CD_Covers&diff=32084CD Covers2021-11-04T15:30:58Z<p>Jo2: /* PD Picture Sources */</p>
<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 2-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Make a copy of this 300x300 picture with the title <code>book_title_yymm_itemimage.jpg</code><br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [https://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [https://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [https://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. -->ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used to the PDF. You'll find suggestions of the wording on the examples in the tutorial.<br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />
<br />

'''You'll need to select the MC, which for CD covers is: covers - covers'''<br />
<br />
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's LibriVox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

<br />
== CD Covers ==<br />
You can see all our thousands of covers at [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The Librivox Free Audiobook Collection]over at Internet Archive. Sort by Date Published to see most recent covers first. Or, sort by other criteria, such as author's last initial. <br />
<br />
To print an individual cover from the LV catalog, click the '''"Download CD Case Insert"''' link under any thumbnail and open it in the free Adobe Reader. In the printer dialog box, make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. On the simple jewel case pattern, cut out the artwork and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case. In the case of the multiple CD case designs, follow cut out/folding instructions for either an origami paper CD case or jewel case front and back covers. HINT: Standard copy paper works fine, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharper.<br />
<br />
== How To Thank A Cover Artist ==<br />
BC's and Soloists may publicly thank the artist who designed the cover for their project by hitting Post Reply in LV's [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=64062/ Covermaker's Chat Thread], or by Private Message. To find out who made your cover, click the "Download CD Case Insert" link under the Cover showing on the LV Catalog page.<br />
<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

<div>= Online book resources =<br />
Our main resource for the books we record is the [http://gutenberg.org/ Project Gutenberg]. It has a huge catalog of public domain e-books, and they do extensive legal checking before releasing their titles. Generally, if it was published in 1925 or before, it's public domain in the U.S., which is good enough for us. Nevertheless, there are also other resources online which are listed here. But bear in mind that the book has to be in the public domain (see [[Copyright and Public Domain]]). If you are in doubt, don't start recording until the copyright status is approved by an administrator.<br />

= When a Book Is Not Online =<br />
If no e-text is available for the text you want to record, you might be able to use a hard copy. Please post in Book Suggestions and discuss this with an admin before starting the project. In such cases, we normally want to see a picture or scan of the title page and copyright page of the hard copy before the project starts to verify its copyright status. If you go this route, note that your proof-listener will not have access to the text for word-perfect or special (referencing the text) proof-listening. (Alternately, you may also scan or photograph the whole work and upload it to Archive yourself, so that the text is available for everyone. Please visit Archive.org's help pages for instructions on this.)</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Recording_%26_Text_Policies&diff=32082Recording & Text Policies2021-11-04T15:29:22Z<p>Jo2: /* LibriVox and "Sensitive" Topics */</p>
<hr />
<div>Our objective is to record texts as they were published. This means:<br />
* You may not change the published text in any way (eg. to remove swear words, language or ideas you find objectionable, or to "update" a text). Our objective is to record texts as they were written.<br />
* You may not add or remove text.<br />
* You may not add an audio introduction or editorial comment. You can however include this kind of thing in the catalog text.<br />
<br />
'''We do not allow computer-generated (synthesized) voices in our recordings. LibriVox recordings are made by volunteers using their own voices.''' <br />
<br />
<br />
===Texts that can be recorded for LibriVox include the following:===<br />
<br />
Published books that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
Published short works that are in the public domain in the USA (essays, newspaper articles, short stories, poems, etc) <br />
<br />
US government documents that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
Texts of notable speeches that are in the public domain in the USA<br />
<br />
===Texts that CANNOT be recorded for LibriVox include the following:===<br />
<br />
Texts that are still under copyright in the USA<br />
<br />
Self-published novels, short stories, poems, essays, etc<br />
<br />
===Our policy on text sources:===<br />
The fact that a text was published more than 95 years ago doesn't mean that all internet versions of it are acceptable for our use. Some sites slap restrictions on texts; others do not state clearly what edition their text came from (they may have been edited or from a still-copyrighted edition).<br />
<br />
Texts acceptable for LV:<br />
* Scans of works which show the publication year as being more than 95 years ago<br />
* Texts available on Gutenberg.org, whose copyright status on the book information page shows as PD in the USA (see note below)<br />
* Texts from other sites that state ''clearly'' which edition the text came from, and that do not restrict the use of their text with a CC or other license (gutenberg.au, bartleby.com, and plenty of others may qualify)<br />
<br />
Sources that share transcribed works (e.g. works rendered into html or a cleaned up PDF) without a clear statement of what edition they came from aren't allowed, just like they're not allowed for >95-year-old works. Wikisource is not acceptable unless it has a scan that clearly shows a publication date of 96 years or more, because they restrict use of the texts with a CC license.<br />
<br />
''Note also that HathiTrust restricts views on many of their works for out-of-USA viewers. So if you can, please use Gutenberg or Internet Archive first, and Hathi as a later option.''<br />
<br />
===How are books selected for LibriVox?===<br />
<br />
All works recorded for LibriVox are selected by volunteers. <br />
<br />
There are several ways: <br />
<br />
*Someone (a listener, or a volunteer) suggests a book (or text - we also read short works and poetry!) We have a forum for that (ingeniously named "[https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=1 Book Suggestions]") where people can post suggestions along with a summary of the book. Very often suggestions from this forum are picked up by volunteers and realised -- either as solo, or as a collaborative project (see [[How LibriVox Works]] for information on these). Here are some great external sources for texts: [[Book Resources]]. <br />
<br />
*A reader comes to the forum and already knows which book s/he wants to read, and starts a solo project straight away. <br />
<br />
*A reader has already recorded a book and 'donates' it to LibriVox. <br />
<br />
So basically, book selection boils down to what people would like to hear or read. Most volunteers either choose to read books they love, or books they've always wanted to read or think sound interesting. <br />
<br />
Since LibriVox's lofty goal is to record all books in the public domain, everything will be recorded eventually!<br />
<br />
===Can all books be recorded for LibriVox?===<br />
No. At LibriVox, we can only read books that are in the public domain, i.e.. free of copyright. <br />
<br />
===How can I tell if a book is in the public domain?===<br />
<br />
Project Gutenberg has a huge catalog of public domain e-books, and they do extensive legal checking before releasing their titles. Generally, if it was published in 1924 or earlier, it's public domain in the U.S., which is good enough for us. After that, it gets more complicated. <br />
<br />
For more information, see [[Copyright and Public Domain]].<br />
<br />
===I wrote an unpublished book! Will LibriVox record it?===<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, no. We are focused on producing audio recordings of published public domain books. However, we encourage you to publish an audio version over at scribl.com, or upload them directly to archive.org. And if you hang out on the forums here, and do some recordings, you might find some willing volunteers to help you record yours too.<br />
<br />
===LibriVox and "Sensitive" Topics===<br />
<br />
Every work included in the LibriVox collection is potentially a sensitive and sacred text...depending on the reader or listener. We approach every work with respect, but we will not exclude a work because of it being potentially offensive or disrespectful. The nature of our collection is historical due to it being primarily published in 1925 and earlier, and we will be running into works that will raise questions, concerns, or conflicts (i.e. religion, slavery, woman's status in society, treatment of indigenous peoples, etc.) <br />
<br />
We acknowledge that some of the information and perspectives presented may be offensive, or even just plain incorrect, but we're preserving history as presented by people of a specific time period without making judgements or statements about these perspectives.<br />
<br />
===May I change the text?===<br />
<br />
Occasionally people ask if they can change the published text, for instance by omitting or substituting offensive words or ideas. <br />
<br />
The answer is '''No.''' We present the text as it is written: no additions, omissions, or substitutions. If the text contains a word you just cannot say, consider choosing something else to record. (There is so much available to record! No need to cause yourself discomfort.) If you wish to make an "editorial comment" about the content of the text, you may do so in the written catalog summary, but you may not add it to the recording.<br />
<br />
===I'd like to record a book that's already in the LibriVox catalog. Is that OK?===<br />
<br />
Yes! As long as the book is in the US public domain, you can record it for LibriVox, even if we have other versions.<br />
<br />
Please note that we do not allow the same recording to be used in more than one LibriVox project. For example, if you record a poem for a LibriVox poetry collection and later decide to record a book of poetry that includes the same poem, you must make a new recording of that poem.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker&diff=32062Checker2021-09-11T18:07:50Z<p>Jo2: /* How to use Checker */</p>

[[File:Checker, showing audio validation.png|thumb|Checker, showing validation of an audio file]]<br />
<br />
''Checker'' is an open source tool that looks for common problems with Librivox recordings.<br />
<br />
You can download the tool from '''[https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ the developer's website, here]'''. The current version was released April 30 2021 (1.1) and included the following updates:<br />
<br />
*refreshed visuals<br />
*macOS installer now supports both Intel and Apple CPUs<br />
*new installers for Linux (and Chromebooks with the Linux (beta) feature)<br />
*added ability to check for updates on demand/automatically check monthly<br />
*fixed issue causing file status rows to be harder to read when selected<br />
*updated code for Java 8+, dated 11 January 2019.<br />
<br />
==What does Checker do?==<br />
<br />
Checker looks for common problems with your Librivox audio recordings. It can save you time by checking your file for common technical issues before you go to the trouble of uploading it.<br />
<br />
The program checks many technical features of your file. It can find problems with volume, MP3 encoding options, audio format, metadata (ID3 tags), and file naming conventions.<br />
<br />
It does ''not'' check the content of the recording (such as reading the wrong word), nor the quality of your performance.<br />
<br />
==How to use Checker==<br />
<br />
To use Checker, either (1) drag-and-drop MP3 files (or a folder or ZIP archive) onto the window or (2) under the file menu choose Check files and then select the desired file from your local drive or (3) if you are checking someone else's files that you do not wish to download and keep, choose check URLs and paste in the url of the file you wish to check, then wait for it to analyze them. Note: These files will be downloaded to a temp folder and deleted when you close checker. Once done, click a file name to see a report of any issues that it found. The report will either state that the file “passed” or else list any issues as errors or warnings. For further detail click on the information tab. Errors are serious problems that should be fixed before uploading the file. A warning is less serious, or in some cases a potential problem that Checker is not sure about.<br />

<hr />
<div>Before a project enters the [http://librivox.org/search LibriVox Catalog], usually all its audio files are proof-listened.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is proof-listening? ==<br />
<br />
Proof-listening is the process of listening to a recording in order to catch recording mistakes, and verify that the file meets the technical requirements. All recordings are "prooflistened" to catch repeats, big stumbles or long pauses. A ''Proof-Listener'' (PL) is the volunteer who does the proof-listening, and will report back any errors in the file. <br />
<br />
'''Note to all Prooflisteners:''' We do not allow computer-generated (synthesized) voices in our recordings. LibriVox recordings must be recorded by volunteers using their own voices. If you PL a section that sounds like it may be computer-generated, please PM the MC for the project for a second opinion before marking the section as PL OK.<br />
<br />
== What is a Dedicated Proof-Listener? ==<br />
<br />
A ''Dedicated Proof-Listener (DPL)'' is a volunteer who commits to PL-ing all the files in a project. Being a DPL can be a big commitment if the project is a very large one. If you are not the DPL of the project, please do not jump in and PL sections unless the DPL or BC has specifically asked for help with the PLing.<br />
<br />
A DPL can keep track of their PL workload by going to their Reader page, clicking on Reader Section Details, then clicking on PL View. This lists their DPL projects and which stage of PL each section is currently in.<br />
<br />
== How to Proof-listen ==<br />
<br />
The topmost thread of the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21 Listening Forum] has a lot of information:[https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?t=17680 Listeners & Editors Wanted FAQs]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Find a project ===<br />
<br />
In order to proof-listen (PL), you must first '''find a project''' in need of a PLer. There are many ways to do this. <br />
* Check the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21 Listeners & Editors Wanted Forum] and pick a project that interests you. <br />
* Browse the Readers Wanted forums, and find a project that interests you there. Projects with a tilde (~) at the beginning of the subject line do not have a DPL.<br />
* Check the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=28 Launch Pad]. Some of the new projects are looking for a Dedicated PLer.<br />
<br />
=== Levels of Proof-listening ===<br />
<br />
Always check the first post for the level of proof-listening requested, or post in the thread to ask. '''Please do not offer feedback beyond the level requested.''' <br />
<br />
# In general, we ask for '''standard listening''' -- repeats and gaps:<br />
## Listen for repeated words or passages that the reader likely intended to edit out. <br />
## Note any long pauses or bad background noises that disrupt the flow of your listening pleasure.<br />
## Note that the intro and outro has the correct wording as noted in the first post of the project thread, and 5 seconds of silence at the end.<br />
## If the recording seems too loud or too quiet, please note that as well.<br />
## It is NOT necessary for you to follow along with the text; just listen as you would normally. <br />
# A request for '''word-perfect''' (example: Einstein's Relativity) includes all of the above, and reading along:<br />
## Follow along with the online text and note any differences between what is written and what you hear. (Note: sometimes the online text is wrong, or differs from the edition that a reader worked from! It is important to use public domain texts. In some cases, the corrected text is actually under copyright(example: Ulysses)! If in doubt, ask the BC.)<br />
# A reader may request '''special''' feedback, and that would be whatever was asked for. (example: "Needs listeners who can understand French / Spanish / ...") The special need will be explained in the top post for that Prooflistening thread.<br />
# And some Prooflistener requests are '''CC - Constructive Criticism sought.'''<br />
## Sometimes folks would like feedback on how to improve their reading style or their recording setup -- they'll write CC at the head of their subject line and post details in the top post about what type of feedback they want.<br />
<br />
=== Prooflistener Notes ===<br />
<br />
A good prooflistener note gives the minute and second at which a gap or repeat or whatever other mistake occurred. It's good to give some context if needed to make searching in the text easy:<br />
:12:33 repeat, "She shells sea-- " (it's at 12 minutes, 33 seconds)<br />
:27:54 gap, about 7 seconds<br />
:31:02 "She nodded in commission" should be "She nodded in commiseration", <br />
:35:16 "He fell of the high horse of his" I hear "high course of his"<br />
<br />
In order to see the timecode, you will need to download the file and open it in a media player. When you simply click on a file, it will often open in QuickTime in the browser window (on some computers), but that window will not show time code. If you open the QuickTime application and then open the saved audio file in QuickTime, you will see timecode.<br />
<br />
Folks quickly learn to edit any errors in their file from last to first -- that way the timecode notes stay accurate during correction.<br />
<br />
== Feedback and Fine Lines ==<br />
<br />
Please see [http://librivox.org/pages/feedback/ Feedback], a LibriVox web page explaining the function of feedback in a kind and productive community.<br />
<br />
We try to catch things like long silences, repeated text, editing problems, volume problems, static, etc. But we don’t really make comments on reading style — too fast/too slow, not enough oomph. For instance, we '''never''' say: “This reader is not good enough for LibriVox.”<br />
<br />
Our policy is to accept ANY reader who wishes to read for us. We have such a huge task ahead of us: to record all the books in the public domain! We can’t achieve that without an open door policy for everyone who wants to help. Plus, it’s part of the LibriVox way. We welcome anyone who wants to help. That’s how we got this far, and we want to go a lot further.<br />
<br />
All that being said: WE DO CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OUR RECORDINGS.<br />
<br />
If you're ever uneasy about a file you've prooflistened, send a PM* to the Book Coordinator or Meta Coordinator (MC) or to any admin you're comfortable talking to. (*Private Message -- use the PM button at the bottom of a post by the person you want to message)<br />

''Checker'' is an open source tool that looks for common problems with Librivox recordings.<br />
<br />
You can download the tool from '''[https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ the developer's website, here]'''. The current version was released April 30 2021 (1.1) and included the following updates:<br />
<br />
*refreshed visuals<br />
*macOS installer now supports both Intel and Apple CPUs<br />
*new installers for Linux (and Chromebooks with the Linux (beta) feature)<br />

*updated code for Java 8+, dated 11 January 2019.<br />
<br />
==What does Checker do?==<br />
<br />
Checker looks for common problems with your Librivox audio recordings. It can save you time by checking your file for common technical issues before you go to the trouble of uploading it.<br />
<br />
The program checks many technical features of your file. It can find problems with volume, MP3 encoding options, audio format, metadata (ID3 tags), and file naming conventions.<br />
<br />
It does ''not'' check the content of the recording (such as reading the wrong word), nor the quality of your performance.<br />
<br />
==How to use Checker==<br />
<br />
To use Checker, drag-and-drop MP3 files (or a folder or ZIP archive) onto the window, then wait for it to analyze them. Once done, click a file name to see a report of any issues that it found. The report will either state that the file “passed” or else list any issues as errors or warnings. Errors are serious problems that should be fixed before uploading the file. A warning is less serious, or in some cases a potential problem that Checker is not sure about.<br />

<div>:''This guide also in [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Como_o_Librivox_funciona Portuguese]. / Este guia também está disponível em [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Como_o_Librivox_funciona português].''<br />
<br />
''' Overview '''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''LibriVox's objective is "To make all books in the public domain available, narrated by real people and distributed for free, in audio format on the internet."'''<br />
<br />
<br />
There are three key ways to help.<br />
<br />
* '''Recording''' is easier, harder, and more fun than you'd think! <br/> You'll need equipment (usually a $30-50 USB mic) and software (usually Audacity - free) and a computer and time. And an enjoyment of reading aloud to others. Everything created at LibriVox is given to the public domain.<br />
<br />
* '''Editing''' help is always in demand! <br/> If you enjoy computers and shaping things, you may enjoy editing. Most folks at LV use the free, open-source program Audacity (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX).<br />
<br />
* '''Prooflistening''' may be the best way to understand LibriVox! forum guide <br/> Nearly every LV recording is prooflistened (so we can remove repeats or gaps before a book is catalogued). Even a little prooflistening exposes you to LV's diversity of projects and readers, gives you ideas about your own projects, and makes the LV community come alive as nothing else can.<br />
<br />
Welcome! You are now part of [[How LibriVox Works]]!<br />
<br />
==Volunteering, not just reading==<br />
<br />
LibriVox is entirely run by volunteers. The majority of them read and record texts in the public domain, and make them available in audio format, also in the public domain. That said, there are many other tasks that need to be carried out. Among these are:<br />
<br />
* '''Proof-listening''' (checking completed recordings for mistakes like long pauses, repeated sentences, etc)<br />
* '''Editing''' (most volunteers edit their own recordings but some help is always appreciated)<br />
* '''Promoting''' (Creating and distributing posters, etc). See [[Promotional Material]].<br />
* '''Book Coordinating''' (launching and coordinating projects for groups, and for solos.)<br />
* '''Meta Coordinating/Moderating''' (experienced volunteers who take care of the cataloging process, and taking care of the forum)<br />
* '''Helping volunteers''' (welcoming at the forum, explaining, directing, creating and updating wikis)<br />
* Numerous other tasks (some ongoing, others quick one-offs, or longer projects)<br />
<br />
For a more detailed explanation in the ways you can volunteer, see [[How to Volunteer]]<br />
<br />
(If you're new to recording and are looking for a place to start, try this [[Newbie Guide to Recording]]).<br />
<br />
Since most volunteers are involved with reading and recording for LibriVox, we'll look into that process first.<br />
<br />
==The LibriVox recording process==<br />
All the information below is excellent and well worth reading, but for those who prefer to watch, you might want to start with this short video overview of the LibriVox recording process[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOqI_Orr4SU.com The LibriVox Recording Process: Is It Magic?]<br />
<br />
(See below for an explanation of the different roles)<br />
<br />
Usually, the process works like this:<br />
<br />
# A book or shorter work is suggested in the Book Suggestions forum. From there, two things can happen:<br />
## It is taken up as a solo project<br />
## It is made into a collaborative group project, with several readers reading parts of the text. In this case, someone volunteers to become a [[#Book Coordinator | Book Coordinator]].<br />
# Once someone agrees to read the book,<br />
## The soloist or Book Coordinator posts it as a Solo or Group Project in the New Projects Launch Pad. A [[#Meta Coordinator | Meta-Coordinator]] (MC) claims the project, sets it up in the database, and moves the thread to the appropriate forum.<br />
## If it's a solo project, it moves to Going Solo, where the reader occasionally posts progress reports and receives encouragement from wannabe listeners, until the reading is completed.<br />
## If it's a group project, it moves to Readers Wanted: Books (or Short Works or Dramatic Works). The [[#Book Coordinator|Book Coordinator]] liaises with volunteer readers, who 'claim' parts of the work and post the completed readings in the thread. Once all chapters have been claimed, the project is moved to the Readers Found forum.<br />
## At any point in the process, a [[#Proof-Listener | Dedicated Proof Listener]] (DPL) may volunteer to proof-listen the work. <br />
## Proof-Listeners listen to the files for mistakes, long pauses, stumbles, etc, and post feedback in the thread. <br />
## If applicable, the reader fixes his recording and uploads the corrected version.<br />
# When the recordings are done,<br />
## The Solo reader or [[#Book Coordinator|Book Coordinator]] notifies the [[#Meta Coordinator|Meta-Coordinator]]<br />
## The recordings are posted on [http://archive.org Archive.org] and on the [http://librivox.org/search LibriVox catalogue], where they are available to listeners.<br />
<br />
== The roles involved in making a LibriVox recording ==<br />
To make the core work at LibriVox - creating recordings - possible, some team work is needed.<br />
<br />
===Reader===<br />
<br />
Anyone can read for LibriVox. No prior experience is necessary. We have a continuous stream of 'newbies' join us, many of whom have never recorded their voice before. We have readers from many countries, and with many native languages. Most record in English, but we have projects in other languages, too. We don't mind accents, so everyone may read in whichever language they feel comfortable. Readers need a computer, a cheap microphone (mics or headsets for around US$30.00 are good enough) and recording software, which is available as a free download. Other than that, just some time and enthusiasm. <br />
<br />
Readers can record a text on their own (as a solo project) or join one of the group (collaborative) projects.<br />
<br />
===Editor===<br />
<br />
Most readers edit their own recordings, but some detest the task so much that they prefer to 'outsource' ;-) it. Several volunteers on the forum are keen editors and help may be found in the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21Listeners Listeners and Editors Wanted forum].<br />
<br />
===Proof-Listener===<br />
<br />
Proof-Listeners check completed files for long pauses, repeated sentences etc. The files are listed in the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21 Listeners and Editors forum] and feedback is posted there, too.<br />
<br />
A volunteer may commit to listening to all the files for a certain project, thus becoming the Dedicated Proof-Listener.<br />
<br />
===Book Coordinator===<br />
<br />
Often shortened to BC, this title is slightly misleading, as not all projects that are undertaken collaboratively are books. Book Coordinators also coordinate collections of poems and other short works. Basically, a Book Coordinator manages other volunteers who contribute to a collaborative recording, and collects and prepares files for the Meta Coordinators. See [[How To Become A Book Coordinator]].<br />
<br />
===Meta Coordinator===<br />
<br />
Meta coordinators (the name comes from metadata), or MCs, help and advise Book Coordinators, and take over the files with the completed recordings (soloists are also Book Coordinators in this sense, as they prepare their own files for the Meta coordinators). The files are then prepared and uploaded to the LibriVox catalogue, in a lengthy and cumbersome process. <br />
<br />
===Listener===<br />
At the end of the chain, another important role: the listener of the final product! Many volunteers were Listeners first. Files are, of course, available for download free of charge, from the [http://librivox.org/search LibriVox catalogue].<br />
<br />
==The Moderators and Administrators==<br />
<br />
With the number of LibriVox volunteers growing exponentially (almost 1,000 forum members in Spring 2006, just 6 months after LibriVox was started), and the tasks that need to be juggled increasing in number, too, some organisation is required.<br />
<br />
Moderators and Admin do the general housekeeping to keep things running, but ALL volunteers should feel comfortable helping out in any way they see fit. And volunteers should feel free to suggest projects, and to run with them (assuming there's some community support for the idea!).<br />
<br />
So what do Moderators do? They have three prime responsibilities:<br />
<br />
# welcoming and helping out newbies (though of course we hope all volunteers do this too)<br />
# managing the collection, meta data, uploading, and cataloging of LV books. This is the demanding one!<br />
# making sure that our (very few) policies (say on copyright, language) are known and implemented.<br />
<br />
Other than that, the Admin & Moderators are just like anyone else, and volunteer their time reading and wandering around the forum, mostly because they are LibriVox addicts.<br />
<br />
So how do Moderators get chosen? First, we want to keep the number of moderators as low as possible - less administration, more reading. But when we do add more moderators, they generally should have these characteristics:<br />
<br />
# be a LibriVox addict<br />
# be diplomatic and helpful (maintaining harmony on the LibriVox forum is important for the success of the project)<br />
# demonstrate hyperkeenness in Book Coordinator duties. This is probably the most important one. Our big workflow issue is file management, meta data verification & uploading of files. This takes a certain talent, and a certain perseverance, a certain attention to detail. It's not very glamorous, but some people are really GOOD at it and enjoy it. Those people go to the top of the candidates pile quickly.<br />
<br />
BUT DO NOTE: as mentioned above: we don't really want to have too many Moderators, it makes for a top-heavy project, and what we want is the opposite, a place run in a distributed way by all the volunteers who put their time and energy into it.<br />
<br />
Our current list of mods and admins (in alphabetical order by screen name) can be found on [https://forum.librivox.org/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=1803 this page], which is always the complete list.<br />

== The Forum and Discussion ==<br />
LibriVox is not like other forums you may have participated in. In addition to being a place to discuss the various projects going on, the forums are used for project management. This means that various pieces of the forum have a specific purpose, and any discussion is secondary to the project at hand in particular places. Because of this - and this will probably be the biggest difference you find with the LibriVox forum and others - posts that are no longer needed ''may be deleted.'' If a post of yours has been deleted, it is most likely due to an admin cleaning and organizing things.<br />
<br />
'''Places you may expect a post to be deleted:'''<br />
<br />
* [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=1 Book Suggestions] - When someone decides to begin a project that has been suggested in this forum, the thread containing the suggestion of that book may be deleted or moved.<br />
<br />
* [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?t=140 Orphaned Chapters in Readers Wanted] - This is only an advertisement thread. Once the announcement of an orphaned chapter is no longer needed and everyone who needs to see it has, it may be deleted. Any important discussion regarding the orphaned chapters will occur in the project thread, not the Orphaned Chapters thread.<br />
<br />
* [https://forum.librivox.org/viewforum.php?f=21 Listeners Wanted] - Some MCs will clean up their own Listeners Wanted threads once they've received the information and edited the main post to reflect the changes. Only an admin or MC can delete posts, and they will only delete posts in another person's thread with their permission.<br />
<br />
* [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?t=1114 Weekly Poetry Planning] - Suggestions for upcoming weekly poems are contained in this thread, as well as discussion for which poem will be chosen. Once the information discussed in the thread has been updated in the main post, posts may be deleted.<br />
<br />
* Abandoned Projects - If a solo project has been abandoned, or relinquished by the volunteer who began the project, the thread for said project will most likely be deleted.<br />
<br />
In any other place in the LibriVox forum, your posts will not be deleted unless an admin sends you a PM with an explanation. Deletions of this kind are usually due to a post being made in the wrong place (for example, hitting "New Topic" instead of "Post Reply") and will be moved to the correct place. Also, any blatant spam or obscene/nasty posts will be deleted.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker&diff=31957Checker2021-04-18T16:00:38Z<p>Jo2: added detailed instructions for installing with Linux</p>
<hr />
<div>= Checker: An Audio File Validator for LibriVox Contributions =<br />
[[File:Checker, showing audio validation.png|thumb|Checker, showing validation of an audio file]]<br />
<br />
''Checker'' is an open source tool that looks for common problems with Librivox recordings.<br />
<br />
You can download the tool from '''[https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ the developer's website, here]'''. The current version is release 0.96i, dated 11 January 2019.<br />
<br />
==What does Checker do?==<br />
<br />
Checker looks for common problems with your Librivox audio recordings. It can save you time by checking your file for common technical issues before you go to the trouble of uploading it.<br />
<br />
The program checks many technical features of your file. It can find problems with volume, MP3 encoding options, audio format, metadata (ID3 tags), and file naming conventions.<br />
<br />
It does ''not'' check the content of the recording (such as reading the wrong word), nor the quality of your performance.<br />
<br />
==How to use Checker==<br />
<br />
To use Checker, drag-and-drop MP3 files (or a folder or ZIP archive) onto the window, then wait for it to analyze them. Once done, click a file name to see a report of any issues that it found. The report will either state that the file “passed” or else list any issues as errors or warnings. Errors are serious problems that should be fixed before uploading the file. A warning is less serious, or in some cases a potential problem that Checker is not sure about.<br />
<br />
For a video on using Checker to review the decibel level of your MP3: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkhk0megqHE&feature=youtu.be click here]<br />
<br />
==Download==<br />
<br />
Checker is written in Java, and runs on many popular platforms including Windows, MacOS and Linux.<br />
<br />
==Detailed Instructions for installing Checker on Linux==<br />
<br />
To install this useful utility in Linux,the programmer's advice is succinct:<br />
Download and unzip the file, then run the checker script to start the application.<br />
<br />
Here are some detailed instructions posted in the forum by a Linux user.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Go to the Checker page - https://cgjennings.ca/checker.html<br />
<br />
2. Click the 'Download for Linux' link<br />
<br />
3. Save the compressed file - checker-unix-0.96.tar.gz - to [whatever folder you choose for such Downloads]<br />
<br />
3. Extract checker-unix-0.96.tar.gz - you can probably just right click on the file and choose "Extract".<br />
<br />
4. The "checker" script that you have to run has been extracted in a folder of the same name along with other files.<br />
<br />
5. Open the "checker" script in a text editor and follow the programmer's instructions -<br />
Uncomment the following line .....<br />
(That is, just edit out the # at the beginning of the two lines that begin "INSTALL4J")<br />
<br />
5. Open a terminal and as root (su or sudo) give yourself permission to run 'checker' by typing chmod 777 path-to--checker . (I chose the easy option of giving everybody permission to do anything by specifying '777' ).<br />
<br />
6. Now - Run checker! You do this by navigating to the folder containing the 'checker' script, opening a command line and typing: ./checker<br />
<br />
7. If, like mine, your Java is a recent version, running the checker script will give you the message that:<br />
<br />
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.6 and at most 1.8.<br />
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM<br />
<br />
<br />
In which case, you can google "openjdk-8-jre", download and install it with your package manager,and you will get an earlier JVM (Java Virtual Machine) which will work with Checker. I uninstalled my openjdk-11-jre package first but I don't think that is necessary.<br />
<br />
And now you run checker again and all is well!<br />
<br />
<br />
8. For anybody using the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment, you can add Checker to the application launcher and give it a nice icon:<br />
<br />
Right click on the Application Launcher.<br />
Edit applications...<br />
Mark the folder you want it in, e.g. Utilities. Click on New.<br />
Fill in the name you want.<br />
Add the actual command and click on the square next to name to change the icon.<br />
Click Save.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You need to have Java running on your computer in order to use Checker. If you are installing Checker to Windows or to MacOS, the Checker installer will automatically try to install Java for you if necessary, but if that fails you can also install it yourself. <br />
<br />
Further installation instructions can be found on the [https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ download page].<br />
<br />
If you run into problems, make sure you have not disabled Java in your browser.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Podcast&diff=31943Podcast2021-04-01T19:05:40Z<p>Jo2: /* Introduction */</p>

<div><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
A podcast is a way to automatically download audio files to your<br />
computer or podcast phone app, from a specific podcast show as new episodes or files are<br />
released. <br />
<br />
At one time, LibriVox podcast files were available Monday, Wednesday,<br />
and Friday, with a poem on Sunday. There is more information on the<br />
[https://librivox.org/pages/podcast-page/ podcast page] of the main LibriVox site. This service is not currently maintained. <br />
<br />
Books from the LibriVox catalog can be listened to from your computer, phone or other compatible device using your favorite podcast app or feed reader to play the audiofiles (e.g., Feedly, Inoreader, iTunes, Juice, Castbox, etc.)<br />
<br />
What you need to get a podcast:<br />
<br />
* A podcast receiver (sometimes called a podcatcher) which is just software that will find and collect the files you want (see example above). <br />
<br />
* The "feed URL" of the podcasts you want (sometimes referred to as an "RSS feed"), and then you can enter the feed into the podcast receiver (called subscribing).<br />
<br />
Old LibriVox podcast feed url: http://librivox.org/podcast.xml In iTunes, for instance, you click: advanced/subscribe to podcast/ and then paste http://librivox.org/podcast.xml in there. And you're done!<br />
<br />
<br />
To listen to any LibriVox audiobook using your podcast app, enter the RSS feed link which you can find on the left side of the catalog page under Listen/Download (help?), and paste it into your podcast app and search. <br />
<br />
* For example, to listen to Adam Bede by George Eliot, go to https://librivox.org/adam-bede-by-george-eliot/ and copy the RSS feed link by right-clicking on the green RSS button and select Copy Link Address. Paste this link into your podcast app and search. Each section will show as an episode in the podcast/show. Click subscribe to automatically download, listen and enjoy!<br />
<br />
== RSS Feeds ==<br />
<br />
The link to a podcast (which has the extension ".xml") is known as an<br />
"RSS feed" (for "Really Simple Syndication"). This same mechanism,<br />
which is used for getting updates of podcast shows, can also be used<br />
to acquire any specific audio book, including story and poetry<br />
collections, in the [http://librivox.org/ LibriVox catalog].<br />
Every page in the catalog has a short set of links just below the<br />
description. Two of them are related to podcasting and RSS feeds,<br />
labeled, "RSS feed" and "Subscribe in iTunes."<br />
<br />
There are [[How_To_Get_LibriVox_Audio_Files#Subscribe_in_iTunes| instructions]]<br />
for using iTunes to get LibriVox audio books (ie, "subscribing").<br />
<br />
== Other Instructions ==<br />
<br />
# To subscribe using ipodder: right click/control click and copy this link: !LibriVox Podcast Feed. In ipodder, choose "tools" then "add a feed" and paste the link into the "url" field. You will be able to download past podcasts and automatically receive future podcasts.<br />
# To subscribe using iTunes, you may copy the LibriVox Podcast Feed link in the same way, then in iTunes choose "advanced" then "subscribe to podcast" and paste the link into the "url" field.<br />
# Or you can simply click The Subscribe by iTunes button on the catalog page. If you get a pop-up, choose "launch application". iTunes will launch on your computer, and the !LibriVox podcast page will appear. Click the "subscribe" button, and you will be able to download past podcasts and automatically receive future podcasts.<br />
<br />
== Alternatives to Podcasting ==<br />
<br />
If you prefer,<br />
you may download the files you want directly from the <br />
[http://librivox.org/ LibriVox catalog] either as individual files, a zipfile of the whole book or as an M4B audiobook format suitable for use in iTunes.<br />
<br />
Or you can download using the torrent link provided on the catalog page.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Podcast&diff=31942Podcast2021-03-31T18:53:35Z<p>Jo2: /* Other Instructions */</p>

<hr />
<div>LibriVox provides totally free audio books from the public domain. All our files are stored on [http://archive.org Archive.org]<br />
<br />
The first step before you listen is to get the audio files onto your own computer. Once you have found an audiobook that interests you, there are many ways to download the files, and save them onto your computer. Each chapter is offered in three (3) formats: 64 Kbps MP3, 128 Kbps MP3, and [[Glossary#Ogg_Vorbis|Ogg Vorbis]]. Once you've picked which type of file you want, here's how to download it, from the server computer where it is stored, to your PC.<br />
<br />
== Download Them Directly from the LibriVox Web Site ==<br />
===All-purpose, One-at-a-time Method===<br />
* Position your mouse pointer over the link for the file type you want.<br />
* Click the right mouse button; a menu will appear near the mouse pointer.<br />
* One of the options in this menu will be something like '''Save Target As ...''' or '''Save Link As ...'''. Click that option.<br />
* The '''Save As''' dialog box will open. Use it to navigate to the folder / directory on your PC where you want to save the file you are about to download. Now click the Save button.<br />
* This initiates the downloading process, and the file will download to your PC. How long this will take depends on the size of the file and the speed of your connection to the Internet. The range is a few minutes to more than an hour.<br />
<br />
This method is useful when saving files individually. But what if there are 30 chapters in the audiobook you want do download? The methods below will allow you to download multiple files at the same time. <br />
<br />
===Zip Archive File of the Whole Work===<br />
One alternative is to use the link labeled '''Zip file of the entire book''' (in 64 Kbps MP3 format), which is just below the summary of the book near the top of the page. If your connection to the Internet is reliable and stable, this will work. But if your connection is otherwise, particularly if you connect via a telephone modem, you may want to consider the second alternative.<br />
<br />
After this archive file has finished downloading to your PC, you'll need a tool to unzip it (which means to extract out all the individual files stored inside it). <br />
* In Windows XP, double-click on the file, which is named something like ''title_author_librivox_64kb_mp3.zip'', and follow the directions for extracting the individual MP3 files. <br />
* In Windows Vista or 7, right-click on the file, select Extract All, and follow the directions for extracting the individual MP3 files.<br />
* In Mac OSX, double-click on the file, and it will automatically begin unpacking it.<br />
Once they are extracted, you may delete the Zip file.<br />
<br />
===Subscribe in iTunes===<br />
These instructions will work in version 11 and later of iTunes. See below if you have an earlier version of iTunes.<br />
<br />
* Click on the '''iTunes''' button on the catalog page. This will launch iTunes (say "yes" if your computer asks). <br />
[[File:Subscribe.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* Once in iTunes, use the pull-down menu towards the top left, just below the control buttons to select the Podcasts section. You will find the title of the book and first section downloaded.<br />
[[File:Podcasts.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* You have four viewing options for podcasts: Unplayed, My Podcasts, My Stations, List. The buttons for the four views are in a horizontal line below the control buttons.<br />
[[File:Podcast-views.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* You have two options to download the remainder of the book.<br />
** In My Podcasts view, select the title of the book from the list on the left, then click on Old Episodes at the top right of the larger frame, and finally, click the Add All button. This will add the titles of the remainder of the sections, and will allow you to stream them without downloading. If you wish to download the files (e.g. if you want to transfer them to another device), click on the little cloud-with-an-arrow icon that appears to the far right of each chapter to download them.<br />
[[File:My-podcasts.jpg]]<br />
** In List view, you should see a right facing arrow to the left of the title. Click on this, and the list of chapters you already have will appear. In addition, you will see the little cloud-with-an-arrow icon appear to the right of the title. Click this, and you'll get a pop-up warning asking if you really want to download all the files. Click OK.<br />

<br />
* If you have to interrupt your listening, you will find that iTunes remembers the place where you left off, when you get back to the track (even if you've listened to another track in your library in the meantime).<br />
<br />
====Older Versions of iTunes====<br />
* Once in iTunes, on the left sidebar, click on '''Podcasts''' (under '''Library'''). Under podcasts, you should see: '''LibriVox: book-title-by-author-name'''<br />
* Click on the little black triangle (*) beside that. Now you should see all the files. <br />
** If they are in light gray, it means they are not downloaded yet<br />
** If you see a small gray '''Get all''' button, press that. Otherwise, press '''get''' on all the files individually.<br />
* Let iTunes work away at downloading till all the files are in dark gray.<br />
* To listen, double-click a track as usual.<br />
<br />
===Browser "Firefox" and the DownThemAll! Plugin===<br />
The [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox] browser is highly recommended. One of the extensions (a plug-in) for it is [http://www.downthemall.net/ DownThemAll!], which is a download manager. It can handle downloading all the files you want from a particular page in one operation. How convenient. <br />
<br />
The [http://www.downthemall.net/ DownThemAll!] Web site contains a link for automatically adding this extension to Firefox after you have installed that browser. And it contains illustrated How-to's for using it.<br />
At the the bottom of this dialog is box labeled '''Preferences''' which opens a new dialog window where you can add or edit the filters. One of the pre-defined filters is for limiting the files to be downloaded to those with the filename extension ".mp3". However, LibriVox offers two different resolutions of MP3 files, so, unless you wish to download both versions, you will need to '''Add a new filter:''' to specify how DownThemAll! will distinguish between the two. If you want the 64 Kbps files, then enter this as the filter:<br />
/(64kb\.mp3)$/<br />
But use this filter for the 128 Kbps files:<br />
/.*_((?!64kb).)*\.mp3$/<br />
An alternate version for the above filter adds the jpg and pdf artwork that goes along with the book.<br />
/.*_((?!64kb).)*\.mp3$|\.jpg$|\.pdf$/<br />
And, for the Ogg Vorbis files, use:<br />
/(\.ogg)$/<br />
<br />
<br />
====But I'm at the library and the right-mouse button is disabled====<br />
<br />
Yes, it is quite a nuisance that some libraries find it necessary to prevent use of the right mouse button on PCs for security reasons.<br />
<br />
At one library, the following method was found to work around this limitation. This assumes you have some way to copy the file you will download from the library's computer, such as to your own USB device.<br />
<br />
Clicking with the left mouse button on the link to an MP3 file caused the browser (MS Internet Explorer) to start the program Windows Media Player, which soon started playing the audio file. With Windows Media Player still playing the file, the Player's file menu was opened and the '''Save As ...''' option selected. Navigating to the attached USB device and clicking the "Save" button caused the file to downloaded to the USB device.<br />
<br />
Not as elegant as using DownThemAll!, but if your library has a T1 line to the Internet and your other option is a phone modem at home, the savings in downloading time can be substantial.<br />
<br />
===Browser "Opera" and the Link-Panel. (Similar to Firefox's DownThemAll)===<br />
Opera has a neat feature built-in. You can let the side-panel display a sorted list of the Web links of a page. Visit your books catalogue page and let Opera link panel sort and display to you a list of all links pointing to the 64k-mp3 files. Then right-click and '''save''' or '''fast save'''. Then watch the progress of the transfers in the transfer-panel or page.<br />
<br />
* Make sure you can see the panel on the left. If the panel is not there, click on the left border, or go to '''View > Toolbars > Panels'''. Once you have the panel, click on the Links button (here, it's the one below the star).<br />
[[Image:Opera1.jpg | frame | none]]<br />
<br />
* Enter 128 in the search field. <br />
[[Image:Opera2.jpg | frame | none]]<br />
<br />
* Select all the files, right-click, and select '''Save Linked Content As...'''<br />
[[Image:Opera3.jpg | frame | none]]<br />

== Acquire Them Automatically with Podcasting ==<br />
<br />
* [http://librivox.org/podcast-page/ LibriVox Podcasts] describes the several different podcasts that are available, including the book podcast which distributes a selected book at the rate of three chapters per week.<br />
<br />
* [[Podcast| The LibriVox Podcasts]] is the wiki help for listeners who want to get LibriVox audio files via podcasting.<br />
<br />
== Download Them with Torrents ==<br />
<br />
Internet archive is now generating torrents for all of our audiobooks. Use the Torrent button on any catalog page to download the BitTorrent for that book.<br />
An[[BitTorrent| explanation of the BitTorrent mechanism]] and how it works.</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Podcast&diff=31938Podcast2021-03-31T18:37:54Z<p>Jo2: /* Introduction */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
A podcast is a way to automatically download audio files to your<br />
computer or podcast phone app, from a specific podcast show as new episodes or files are<br />
released. <br />
<br />
At one time, LibriVox podcast files were available Monday, Wednesday,<br />
and Friday, with a poem on Sunday, however, this is no longer There is more information on the<br />
[http://librivox.org/podcast-page/ podcast page] of the main LibriVox site. This service is not currently maintained. <br />
<br />
Books from the LibriVox catalog can be listened to from your computer, phone or other compatible device using your favorite podcast app or feed reader to play the audiofiles (e.g., Feedly, Inoreader, iTunes, Juice, Castbox, etc.)<br />
<br />
What you need to get a podcast:<br />
<br />
* A podcast receiver (sometimes called a podcatcher) which is just software that will find and collect the files you want (see example above). <br />
<br />
* The "feed URL" of the podcasts you want (sometimes referred to as an "RSS feed"), and then you can enter the feed into the podcast receiver (called subscribing).<br />
<br />
Old LibriVox podcast feed url: http://librivox.org/podcast.xml In iTunes, for instance, you click: advanced/subscribe to podcast/ and then paste http://librivox.org/podcast.xml in there. And you're done!<br />
<br />
<br />
To listen to any LibriVox audiobook using your podcast app, enter the RSS feed link which you can find on the left side of the catalog page under Listen/Download (help?), and paste it into your podcast app and search. <br />
<br />
* For example, to listen to Adam Bede by George Eliot, go to https://librivox.org/adam-bede-by-george-eliot/ and copy the RSS feed link by right-clicking on the green RSS button and select Copy Link Address. Paste this link into your podcast app and search. Each section will show as an episode in the podcast/show. Click subscribe to automatically download, listen and enjoy!<br />
<br />
== RSS Feeds ==<br />
<br />
The link to a podcast (which has the extension ".xml") is known as an<br />
"RSS feed" (for "Really Simple Syndication"). This same mechanism,<br />
which is used for getting updates of podcast shows, can also be used<br />
to acquire any specific audio book, including story and poetry<br />
collections, in the [http://librivox.org/newcatalog/ LibriVox catalog].<br />
Every page in the catalog has a short set of links just below the<br />
description. Three of them are related to podcasting and RSS feeds,<br />
labeled, "RSS feed", "Subscribe in iTunes", and "Chapter-a-day".<br />
<br />
There are [[How_To_Get_LibriVox_Audio_Files#Subscribe_in_iTunes| instructions]]<br />
for using iTunes to get LibriVox audio books (ie, "subscribing").<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Other Instructions ==<br />
(''The following instructions were copied from another part of the site, <br />
and are awaiting integration into this page.'')<br />
<br />
# Get some podcast receiver software such as juice, or iTunes<br />
# To subscribe using ipodder: right click/control click and copy this link: !LibriVox Podcast Feed. In ipodder, choose "tools" then "add a feed" and paste the link into the "url" field. You will be able to download past podcasts and automatically receive future podcasts.<br />
# To subscribe using iTunes, you may copy the LibriVox Podcast Feed link in the same way, then in iTunes choose "advanced" then "subscribe to podcast" and paste the link into the "url" field.<br />
# Or you can simply click here: One-Click iTunes Subscription. If you get a pop-up, choose "launch application". iTunes will launch on your computer, and the !LibriVox podcast page will appear. Click the "subscribe" button, and you will be able to download past podcasts and automatically receive future podcasts.<br />
<br />
== Alternatives to Podcasting ==<br />
<br />
If you prefer,<br />
you may download the files you want directly from the <br />
[http://librivox.org/newcatalog/ LibriVox catalog].<br />
Or you may try our BitTorrent at [http://www.legaltorrents.com/ LegalTorrents.com].</div>Jo2https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=ProofListening_tips_and_quiz&diff=31693ProofListening tips and quiz2021-01-03T03:46:16Z<p>Jo2: /* Answers to the quiz */</p>
<hr />
<div>Do you want to help out as a PL (prooflistener) or a DPL (dedicated prooflistener) and want a little practice? Especially as a fresh PL/DPL, I have often wondered whether I commented too little or too much, so I made this little quiz so you can see what you would comment on and compare it with my PL notes. If you feel unsure in a project you are DPLing, you can always PM (send a private message) to the BC (book coordinator) or MC (meta coordinator).<br />
<br />
Before you do more, please read this wiki-page[[http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Guide_for_Proof-listeners]]. It mostly explains what to do (and not do).<br />
<br />
<br />
== Encouragement ==<br />
Of course, it is nice to add some supportive, encouraging comments to the reader as well. Also, when PLs or DPLs make notes, readers understand that to mean "fix this, please." Sometimes it might be helpful to point out something to the reader, not for him to fix in this recording, but maybe to think about for the next recording. Examples can be placement of the microphone (if you hear a lot of plosives) or something to do with the sound quality. It is a good idea to make clear to the reader that you don't mean for him to fix it is this recording and that it is not so bad that it renders this recording horrible. Other times, maybe especially if I DPL a solo, I might mention things that are, strictly speaking, more detailed feedback than standard PL. Again, I make sure to preface it as "you absolutely do not have to fix this, your recording is perfectly OK as it is" or "I am competely ok marking the section PL OK without you fixing this" or something like that. As a PL/DPL we want to provide a service to the reader (and LibriVox), helping to check for editing glitches. What really makes a reader improve, however, is practice. In other words, focus on getting the recording you are listening to as good as you can with a not unreasonable amount of PL notes. The reader will get smoother and better in good time.<br />
<br />
<br />
== PLing Dramatic Works ==<br />
A note on PLing Dramatic Readings and Plays (in the Dramatic Works forum): A DPL/PL for a Dramatic Reading/Play might have to read along while listening to indvidual files (especially before all the parts are edited together). It is important that all the lines are there for each character... It might be a good idea to ask the BC (book coordinator) or editor what you should focus on as you listen. That way you can make sure to be on the same page.<br />
<br />
OK, that is enough talk. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Practice making PL notes here ==<br />
This little snippet is from the very start of a recording. When I PL, I pay extra attention to the intro disclaimer - it is soooo easy to zone out and not hear what the reader actually says. And mistakes in the intro can make it really confusing for listeners. Listen to the recording and note down what you would tell the reader. You can right-click and listen in a new tab or window, or download and listen in Audacity or another audio player. The project asks for Standard level of proof-listening. Then you can scroll down and compare with my PL notes or go on to section 2 below. <br />
<br />
'''Section 1:''' https://librivox.org/uploads/xx-nonproject/pl_practice_intro.mp3<br />
<br />
Quote from the first post in the project thread:<br />
<br />
DURING recording: <br />
<br />
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!<br />
<br />
Make sure you add this to the beginning of your recording:<br />
<br />
START of recording (Intro)<br />
<br />
"Section [number] of the Boy Scouts Handbook. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"<br />
<br />
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]" <br />
<br />
Say: <br />
"The Boy Scouts Handbook, by the Boy Scouts of America. [Section]"<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Section 2:''' https://librivox.org/uploads/xx-nonproject/pl_practice_middle2.mp3<br />
<br />
When you listen to do standard PL, it is not necessary to follow along with the text. However, you can, if you want to. I have pasted the text I read below, and you can follow it if you like. What would you comment on here? My PL notes are below.<br />
<br />
Quote from the text I am reading from:<br />
<br />
I came from my fishing as usual, and appeared at the "ball" with the gun and bag—only I had put on my best leather suit. It was late when I got to Sirilund; I heard them dancing inside. Someone called out: "Here's the hunter, the Lieutenant." A few of the young people crowded round me and wanted to see my catch; I had shot a brace of seabirds and caught a few haddock. Edwarda bade me welcome with a smile; she had been dancing, and was flushed.<br />
"The first dance with me," she said.<br />
And we danced. Nothing awkward happened; I turned giddy, but did not fall. My heavy boots made a certain amount of noise; I could hear it myself, the noise, and resolved not to dance any more; I had even scratched their painted floor. But how glad I was that I had done nothing worse!<br />
Herr Mack's two assistants from the store were there, laboriously and with a solemn concentration. The Doctor took part eagerly in the set dances. Besides these gentlemen, there were four other youngish men, sons of families belonging to the parish, the Dean, and the district surgeons. A stranger, a commercial traveller, was there too; he made himself remarked by his fine voice, and tralala'ed to the music; now and again he relieved the ladies at the piano.<br />
I cannot remember now what happened the first few hours, but I remember everything from the latter part of the night. The sun shone redly in through the windows all the time, and the seabirds slept. We had wine and cakes, we talked loud and sang, Edwarda's laugh sounded fresh and careless through the room. But why had she never a word for me now?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Section 3:''' https://librivox.org/uploads/xx-nonproject/pl_practice_end.mp3<br />
<br />
This is the end of a recording (it is not the last section of the book), the last few sentences of a chapter and the outro. Here are the instructions from the first post in the thread. What comments would you make to the reader?<br />
<br />
Quote from the first post in the the project thread:<br />
<br />
END of recording<br />
<br />
At the end of the section, say: <br />
<br />
"End of Chapter [number]"<br />
<br />
If you wish, say: <br />
<br />
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"<br />
<br />
At the end of the book, say (in addition): <br />
<br />
"End of Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects Volume 5, by Giorgio Vasari. Translated by Gaston du C. de Vere ( - 1955)"<br />
<br />
== PL Quiz ==<br />
<br />
And now: a final challenge! Answer these questions for yourself. My suggestions are below.<br />
<br />
You prefer to listen to readers who read a bit faster. Do you comment on that?<br />
<br />
You are PLing a section, and after listening to 3 minutes you already have noted down 10 (or many) different things that need fixing. What to do?<br />
<br />
You don't like this readers accent - it must be a non-native speaker. S/he does not use American (or British) pronuciation. Should you comment on that?<br />
<br />
There was a mouthclick in the recording. Should you comment on that?<br />
<br />
This recording is in [a language in which you are proficient]. Yet you can't understand to what this reader says. What do you do?<br />
<br />
There is a little bit of background noise in this recording. What do you do?<br />
<br />
There are bangs in the recording, it sounds like the reader is moving around and maybe hitting the microphone or cord. Do you comment on it?<br />
<br />
The volume of the recording sounds very low. What to do?<br />
<br />
The recording sounds like it was computer generated using a text-to-speech program. What to do?<br />
<br />
== Compare your PL notes here ==<br />
<br />
'''PL notes section 1:'''<br />
<br />
00:00 - please reduce the silence at the start of the recording. It should be no more than 1 second.<br />
<br />
00:15 - I hear "librivox dot com" - it should be "librivox dot org"<br />
<br />
'''PL notes section 2:'''<br />
<br />
00:12 - stumble "I heard them da dancing outside"<br />
<br />
00:48 - I hear a pause mid-sentence<br />
<br />
01:21 - I hear "He made himself unremarked by his fine voice" - the text says "he made himself remarked"<br />
<br />
01:39 - repeat "The sun The sun shone"<br />
<br />
If you followed along with the text, you might also have noticed that I got the words "cakes and wine" in the wrong order. There is no reason to comment on this. It does not change the meaning. Sometimes we also substitute words, unconsciously, when we read. If you PL something and the reader has replaced a word with a synonym, there is no need to comment on it. If the reader, however, has substituted a word with something that means something different (or opposite), you should put that in the PL notes. <br />
<br />
'''PL notes section 3:'''<br />
<br />
00:04 - repeat "and he was a courteous person .. courteous person and he was"<br />
<br />
00:26 - I hear "End of Lives of etc", it should be "End of Section [number]"<br />
<br />
00:34 - please add 5 seconds of silence at the end of the recording.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Answers to the quiz ==<br />
<br />
Answers to the final challenge questions:<br />
<br />
You prefer to listen to readers who read a bit faster. Do you comment on that?<br />
<br />
No. The reading speed is up to the reader to decide. We all have different preferences (as do the readers who listen to LibriVox recordings). <br />
<br />
<br />
You are PLing a section, and after listening to 3 minutes you already have note down 10 (or many) different things that need fixing. What to do?<br />
<br />
Well, it depends. If it is a new reader, I would keep going and write the PL notes as gently as possible. (You can see how many recordings a reader has contributed/claimed by clicking on their name in the MW (Magic Window). Their reader's page will show whether this is a new reader or someone who has made many recordings.) If it is an experienced reader, I might post and list the PL notes for the first 3 or 5 minutes, asking if they'd like me to do PL notes for the rest of the section, too. Chances are that s/he has uploaded an un-edited recording by mistake, or that s/he decides to re-record the whole section anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't like this readers accent - it must be a non-native speaker. S/he does not use American (or British) pronuciation. Should you comment on that?<br />
<br />
No. There is no "standard accent" for LibriVox so we don't comment of regional variation in pronunciation or the like. Readers from all over the world are welcome to contribute their recordings, and that is reflected in the breadth of languages and varieties of English. If you are considering being a DPL (dedicated Proof-Listener) for a solo you can see if you find a recording this person has already made. If it turns out that you don't like his/her accent or speed, you can keep looking for something else to DPL. LibriVox invites readers to record in languages they speak, other than their native language, as long as they can make themselves understood in it.<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a mouthclick in the recording. Should you comment on that?<br />
<br />
No. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recording is in [a language in which you are proficient]. Yet you can't understand to what this reader says. What do you do?<br />
<br />
This is a tough one. I would send a PM to the BC (book coordinator) or MC (meta coordinator) and get a second opinion. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is a little bit of background noise in this recording. What do you do?<br />
<br />
It depends. If it is a lot of background hum, you might tell the reader and suggest using the noise reduction or see if s/he can reduce it in some other way. A little background hum doesn't do any harm, though. Most readers have to contend with traffic noise, neighbours, etc when recording...<br />
<br />
<br />
There are bangs in the recording, it sounds like the reader is moving around and maybe hitting the microphone or cord. Do you comment on it?<br />
<br />
Yes, I would if there are loud bangs. Maybe the reader can edit them out (though sometimes it is very hard) -- but at least it is good to know about it -- maybe they can be avoided in the next recording!<br />
<br />
<br />
The volume of the recording sounds very low. What to do?<br />
<br />
Tell the reader to amplify it. When I proof-listen, I run the recordings through [[Checker]] or MP3Gain. (An added bonus with the Checker is that it checks that the recording has the correct technical settings.) If the volume falls outside 87-91 dB I ask the reader to fix it. As a PL or DPL you don't absolutely have to check the technical settings (it is the responsibility of the BC, book coordinator). But I figure it doesn't add work much to the task of PLing, so I like to do it. If your are PLing a Dramatic Reading or a Play, the guidelines for individual parts may be different. Please check with the BC (book coordinator) or Editor.<br />
<br />
<br />
The recording sounds like it was computer generated using a text-to-speech program. What to do?<br />
<br />
We do not allow computer-generated (synthesized) voices in our recordings. LibriVox recordings must be recorded by volunteers using their own voices. If you PL a section that sounds like it may be computer-generated, please PM the MC for the project for a second opinion before marking the section as PL OK.</div>Jo2
