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...

Hooray! Thank you all!

Ooo exciting! Our Middle English poem will soon be ready for the world :)

When I make an error while recording, I snap my fingers to leave a big spike in the recording, then re-read th...

And please make it very clear to your users that your app is not a LibriVox creation, and that they must ask YOU for help and support, not us. Thank you!

(We get a lot of tech support/complaint email about problems with the many apps out there)

I knew you'd find help here, JayKitty PM me when you start your Tom Sawyer and maybe I'll claim a chapter

Leni! How nice to see you again :)

thank you, Artom!

I am the admin she spoke to. In her intro email she mentioned that she would like to have our code on github. My reply was this: Great! Yeah, there has been discussion in the admin forum about putting the code on github. I don't know what became of that plan -- not my area of expertise! If you post ...
