Re: [GROUP]Multilingual Short Works Collection 026 - Poetry & Prose by Various - thw
Thanks Michael. I did what you asked for in 1 & 2. Thank you, Anas! The intro/outro text sounds good. There's just one additional issue to address: please lengthen the silence at the end to ~5 seconds. It seems to have gotten lost along the way. As for 3, yes I see what you're saying with the '...

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by tags, but the poem talks about how one should be sad over some unfortunate events that happen to them, for life is ever changing; one day can be be full of happiness, the next full of sadness. He also urges one to be patient and to persevere. He ends the poem w...

The biography is beautifully succinct as it is. Thank you!Kitty wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2019, 11:26 am ok this is the author page I created now: https://librivox.org/author/14646
it was searchable with simply inputting "shafi'i".
If you want to elaborate a text for the biography, you can tell me, I can still change that.

And we can use tags, just give me a few suggestions, and...

Re: [OPEN]Multilingual Short Works Collection 023 - thw
There's also the question of using special characters in the Latin alphabet version. It's unlikely that users would use those special characters while searching. I don't know how special characters are handled by the Librivox search engine. If it will retrieve an entry cataloged as "al-Shāfiʿī...

Re: [BIO] A Boys' Life of Booker T. Washington by C.W. Jackson-Leni
Hello,
I'd like to claim "Making Speeches," section 10, please.
It's my first time recording, and AnasYousef would be fine as the name posted.
OK I'm new to this. Do I start recording, or is there something else to do first?
