The only problem I still don't know how to solve is step 1 of the whole operation, namely laying my hands on a PD paper text for a long enough period to execute the whole operation Oh, but you have it easy! You live in Poland! Last time I checked Poland was full of Polish books :mrgreen: - and ther...

OK. I'll change "PL" to the proper long forms and post it in the wiki page. 8-) Thank you, that sounds fantastic! I also like the idea of eventually creating etext in this process. Lots of work, I know, but for some books it is well justified. The wiki note is perfect, it says two most im...

I was thinking of adding something to FAQ in the welcome forum, but maybe something here: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Book_Resources just one sentence, that a physical book can also be a resource. Bob is right, the full text need to be provided for word-perfect proof listening - and it may en...

For weeks I've been trying to record a lengthy chapter. I was running out of voice, and could not complete in one reading. Then I started thinking, changed approach and recorded the chapter (55 minutes raw) in one pretty easy go. I recorded standing (before I was always sitting). I found that standi...

Hi, just stumbled upon this thread: https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=41359 where someone is asking if we can read from hard copy book that is in public domain but does not exist (yet) as digital resource. I understand that as long as it is proven beyond doubt that the book is inde...

I don't know how it works for Windows users, but for Mac computers, you can go to settings and choose a language in which computer will speak to you when requested. This is called Text to Speech. Then, from any application, when you highlight a word or sentence, there is option to hear it spoken. I ...

Just to let you know that I didn't abandon the project - struggling with the next chapter that is very long (will be about 45 minutes), tried to record in one go and my voice gave up, will need to do it in two pieces and paste together... was planning to do it this weekend but the weather turned gor...

I came. I saw. Windows only! (at least this is what system requirements says, I have CrossOver on my Mac, maybe it will work...)

I have chosen this name in 2003 when my first (and only) short story in English has been published. My mother gave me love for books and reading. She hated her real name and asked all her friends to call her Nina, and brown was her (and also mine) favourite colour. She died long time ago and this is...
