Twisted Wave is a recording/editing app for iOS that should do the job. I tested it a little bit and it seems to work ok. You can't adjust the input volume on an iPhone (you can on an iPad) due to some kind of... something. I asked the Twisted Wave tech support people about i and they explained and ...

(it's not a mac problem -- I'm 100% mac and have no issues.)

Not to beat a dead horse, here, but I just thought of something. Someone who reads a print book (or sees a play) doesn't know what happens next, doesn't know character motivations, story arcs, etc., -- the reader learns these things as the story unfolds and manages just fine -- so does it matter if ...

I read without prep. Always. No matter what. I enjoy the surprise of finding out what I will say next while I'm recording.

(Also I get bored easily )

I hear that story a LOT in the newbie inbox! Like, "I've been listening to librivox books for five years and I suddenly realized that I could volunteer so here I am!"

Viel Spass beim Zuhören! :)

One of the newbies I whose forum account I recently activated said she discovered us because the narrator of the book she was listening to invited her to join us at the beginning of every chapter. What a lovely way to think about it!

When I record, I always have the first post up on my computer so I can read it exactly as the BC said to read it so as to get it right.

Me too, and I've been doing this since 2005

Hi plbeard, BC stands for Book Coordinator. A BC (usually) starts a project and is responsible for maintaining the "Magic Window" (the box in the first post that shows chapter assignments, proof-listening status, notes, etc. There will be a Magic Window in your first post here when you're ready to s...

Chapter 5 notes:

At 1:24, the text has "the bent and venerable Major and Mrs. Ward; lawyer Riverson,". Reading has mayor instead of Major. (Tom's town wasn't big enough to have two mayors.)

Oops! Good catch. Fixed:

This is the first LV recording I've done since February! (It has been a rough year) Thanks for getting me back in the saddle, Jaykitty76 :)

Hey would you change the link to the text to be the main page for that book? It's kinda irritating to be sent to the html version if a reader wants plaintext or kindle. And the database should have the main page listed, not the html page. This is the correct url: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/74 T...

May I claim Chapter 5 please?

(I love the way the minister reads the hymn )

Hooray! Thank you all!
