LibriVox Forum

so, did I see that right? This new guy has current bids on many librivox recordings for 15 dollars, and the auction is just getting started. I haven't looked at his feedback ratings yet, but I am sure he is getting rather good business to sell them for that price. Really, if people are up to it, som...

yes Kri--the fee is very reasonable, considering the time investment involved, but what I am sure people would not like is the charging of a blatantly unreasonable fee for mass profit. This person was very honest and streight forward about his intent, but that does not mean that others will be. If m...

come to think of it, ebay is a great way to spread librivox recordings fairly to those that want librivox recordings to be shiped to them on cd or dvd. Since a non member has already started, why don't librivox members join the fun, by providing their own work in this way and charging a fee sufficie...

on the negative side, this method did deaden my mind to what I was hearing. there is no art or skill in it really, but I am willing to experiment to see what results I get. Many sighted readers may not prefer this method

Has this been discussed before?

making do with what I have at the moment, I have just done an experimental sesion with my ipod. I listened to a sentence, paused it, then simply repeated what I heard. These recording were not text to speech, but it should be similar. I found that what was comming out of my mouth had my uneque expre...

I will exeriment with this when I do my next chapter.

in theory this idea should work. It occured to me because of what I was talking about in my last post. Perhaps I should conduct my own tests and give some results first? I can't resist blabering for a bit so bare with me. Using a good text to speech engine, one could in theory have it read out the t...

you mean like project gutenberg? Although I almost took it for granted that everyone who uses the intenret knows about project gutenberg, I had it conclusivly proven to me that many people who should be aware of its existence are completly unaware of its existence. Many in the academia, I beleive, w...

the interviews are always very interesting. The diveristy of this place is amazing. Makes me like it all the more to learn about the people behind the creativity here.

Just to get this out there for those of us who love books but are short on cash--esspecially for texbooks, I use one site that has been absolutly indispensable to me as a poor collage student. www.campusi.com Is a used item sea.ch engine that will search hundreds of sites to give you the best price ...

looks like I'm the youngster here. I just turned 22.

I would first question the quality of its voice recorder and whether the design of the recorder would allow one to make recordings in a comfortable position. I have heard good things about the creative zen line though, but if recording is just an extra feature, you might want to look for something t...

thistlechick-- I myself have come across recordings of which I have listened to multiple versions of the same thing and yet have not been satisfied. After I got through the book, I asked myself if it was really the case that both recordings did not suit my taste or that I could not bring myself to b...

here it is. I was looking for this thread. Awsome job kri.

by the way kri, your re organization of the wiki has made it leaps and bounds better than it was just a short while ago.

Good work!
