I need 9 British-read good quality short stories. Long story

SonOfTheExiles · Post by **SonOfTheExiles** » December 12th, 2015, 4:12 pm

Hey, I think that's a terrific project!

I remember some older relatives back in the 1970s who were involved in ... I think it was called something like "Talking Books" ... with the Royal Blind Society, and I've always considered that Librivox was well placed to contribute in this area.

The best "assistance" services are the ones the person in question can access and pilot themselves, rather than "be assisted to".

Best of luck with the demo, and feel free to help yourself to any of my stuff should the service get expanded.

Cheers,
Son of the Exiles

This is an excellent idea. Please do check back in and suggest any other parameters you had in mind. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for pieces that should be under twenty minutes for my reading queue.

Hello! I've been burning a lot of midnight oil lately - I think it's almost good to go!

Does anyone in the UK fancy giving it a thrash? 0330 22 33 465* - librivox is on menu 3

Have a play and a listen, leave a voicemail etc. Please feel free to dial 141 before to with-hold your number, the only thing that won't work is the feature that remembered where you were the next time you call in the same day (another neat thing, eh?).

I've not updated the help yet, but I've just added a new function to the skip menu, so while you're listening to a track, the following keys skip back and forward as follows:
1 and 3: -/+track
4 and 6: -/+30s
7 and 9:-/+3m
2 restarts the track, 5 pauses it. Zero replays the current menu, * returns to main menu, # is the help (you won't lose your place in the track).

It's not perfect yet, but it's 00:45am and I'm determined to get to bed before 1am, so it's close enough to have a play with.

Don't worry about what time you ring, the system's not in anyone's house, it's sitting in Docklands somewhere so you won't wake anyone up!

Feedback greatly appreciated either here, via pm or even by leaving a message on the line itself.

*This is a normal rate number, charged at a standard landline rate.
So for 99% of people on landlines in the UK, it's free at the weekends, most people have evening calls (7pm-7am) included, and the rest of time if you've not got an inclusive call package, then it's whatever the normal charge is, same as an 01 or 02. This is NOT an 0845 or a revenue generating number. You'll get a warning beep at 45 mins and cut off at 59 mins as that's the maximum length that included calls are free. Double-check with your provider!

Thanks!

Come on, give it a try, don't be shy!

So, next up, who fancies curating a monthly podcast of 9 items like this?

All I require is 9 links and titles and I'll take care of the rest!

RuthieG · Post by **RuthieG** » December 16th, 2015, 5:08 pm

I tried it! I listened to ME! It works very well (even if it is a little bit weird listening to yourself at the other end of the phone

).

Peter Why · Post by **Peter Why** » December 16th, 2015, 11:54 pm

Very straightforward; I played part of one of Cori's poems and the start of my Tobermory, also main menu item 1 for more information on the set-up. The "feedback" choice has two options, but I couldn't tell which was appropriate.

digitaltoast · Post by **digitaltoast** » December 17th, 2015, 2:52 am

Oooh, you are all lovely! I got some feedback by the voicemail (at least that works!) and also from other testers.
So if you found any of the following...

"The help is a bit quiet".
Stupid 2am oversight. There's a script which "normalizes" the audio for phone lines - applies some compression, boosts the middle, then applies low and high pass filters. I changed the file then forgot to run it. What you heard was what it would sound like on a "normal" phone system, which is why hold music is often too quiet...

"Sounds slightly distorted on my mobile"
I may be overdriving the line a bit - someone asked if I could go louder, so I cranked it a notch.
I've cranked it back down one notch. Tricky to find the perfect medium - mobiles don't suffer from the loss of gain that long landlines sometimes do.

"When I hung up during a track and called back, I got the message and then cut off".
Stupid typo - a missing closing bracket which the compiler doesn't pick up.

"I was skipping forward some tracks and found myself listening to something from another menu".
What happened there wasn't a bug, but just poor design!
You "fell off" the end of the audio queue, it took you back to the main menu, then caught another press of '3', which took you to the Librivox submenu, then another 3 which was the poem.
What about if I put some non-skippable audio that plays "that was the last track", then returns you to the current menu rather than the main menu?

"Skipping with 4 and 6 maybe could use some feedback as it's a bit confusing".
This is where I could do with some guidance! So you're jumping << and >> by 30s each time. If there's < 30s to the end of the track, it starts playing 30s from the end of the track.

Any suggestions for explaining this better would be good! I don't really want to be adding a "you just skipped 30 seconds" message each time.
If an mp3 player does/doesn't do it then my system should/shouldn't do it!

Also, is it annoying having the "one-shot" explanation file before the menu?
The problem is that if I put this explainer into a track, that uses one of the "slots".
What I'll do is make it so that pressing any key during an intro jumps to the menu, not the corresponding track.

I was also thinking that the layout of the skip keys sucks. To me, having a large "whole file" skip at the top, then a smaller 30s leap in the middle, then a 3m leap at the bottom doesn't make sense. Originally there was no "7/9 3m skip" so it just got bolted on. How about this instead:

1/3 = 30s skip
3/6 = 3m skip
7/9 = file skip
*/0 = main/local menu.

New point testing things I know are broken so give me an hour and I'll post back here again. Thanks again all!

Might I suggest that, as well as getting people to "try" your system, you also get a few folks together to try and "break" it? That is, brainstorm a few test scripts to completely "Sod's Law" the set-up? Might save time later.

Cheers,

Good idea, and funnily enough, I did just that on another forum - I wanted to see how people used it "normally" and when "trying" to break it

SonOfTheExiles wrote:That is, brainstorm a few test scripts to completely "Sod's Law" the set-up? Might save time later.

Yeah, that was a bit embarrassing as most of the tests had, in theory, been done and passed.

As you can imagine, I've seen more 3am finishes than I care to remember in the two weeks that I've got to do this in, and human error slips in!

*warning - geekery from now on!*

Someone said how it must be difficult to keep state and debug a UI without the "g" part! I have a flowchart and state diagram of how it SHOULD work, and I can see a log window and review a log of what people did to break it, but ultimately, it's line after line of code (380 lines for the core menu scripts alone to be exact!).

What I am showcasing/demonstrating with the podcast and Librivox line is just the "front" end, as it were. There's a whole telephony-driven back end for an organisation that buys the "real" version of this.

Then there's the fact that I'm pushing a system far beyond what it was ever intended to do - what possible use could there ever be to remember a menu level, track number and playback time of a message on a phone system. Have to track current menu depth, write current track and time to a realtime DB every second, seek to that point if they hang up while listening to a track and not in a menu and so on. No-one had written that, so I had to write that, along with several other custom bits, then hook into them.

All with a compiler which doesn't grumble at things like invalid bracket pairing because there are cases where that may be valid.

All of which, as you can imagine, led to quotes between £1,800 in the UK for the very cheapest, to "somewhere between $20k and $30k (yes, really!) from a company in the USA to "that wouldn't be possible". Turns out it IS possible!

Which is why I ended up brushing off and updating my decade-old telephony programming knowledge and doing it myself, hopefully gaining a new skill in the process!

Here are some suggestions for your next podcast, all read by Cori Samuel:

Track 7 "The Valley Of Childish Things" by Edith Wharton

https://librivox.org/short-story-collection-vol-044/
Track 20 "The Walking Woman" by Mary Hunter Austin

https://librivox.org/nine-unlikely-tales-for-children-by-e-nesbit/
Track 7 "The Sums That Came Right" by Edith Nesbit

https://librivox.org/childrens-short-works-vol-009/
Track 13 "When Mother Fell Ill" by Eleanor H Porter

If you like this idea of "single reader" collections, I might try to do another one...

ScottLawton · Post by **ScottLawton** » December 18th, 2015, 5:25 pm

Clever idea! Best of luck with it.

I'm sure some grown ups will appreciate children's stories, e.g. fairy tales & magic. e.g.

https://librivox.org/the-magic-world-by-e-nesbit/ an influential collection of twelve short stories, nicely read (as always!) by Ruth Golding ... one is 17 min, with a pair in the low 20s; the rest are longer.

Also, if you don't find what you need from http://ekzemplaro.org/librivox/catalog/ then I don't mind doing a search on my independent version of the LibriVox DB. If you do the work of turning names into reader IDs (perhaps starting with a few as a test), I should be able to include that in a query by section length. Of course it would still require manual filtering to find things that stand by themselves, but at least a few familiar items are likely to stand out.

Post by **annise** » December 18th, 2015, 9:43 pm

If it takes off maybe you could consider including a "serial" - 1 chapter a week. ? Not suggesting War and Peace - but something shorter

Anne

Elizabby · Post by **Elizabby** » December 19th, 2015, 5:59 am

Hi Scott, my next idea was to try the same thing with these readers, if you wanted to give them a shot:

https://librivox.org/reader/3470 (Jason Mills, reads lots of short things)
https://librivox.org/reader/2607 (Ruth Golding, reads lots of everything!)
https://librivox.org/reader/103 (Karen Savage, not sure if she has much short stuff though)
https://librivox.org/reader/1259 (Elizabeth Klett, reads very clearly though not always British sounding)

digitaltoast · Post by **digitaltoast** » December 19th, 2015, 8:47 am

You lot are gold-dust! Thank you! I don't think I've got time to change the list much before Christmas, but you've given me brainfood for several months after!

I was also thinking of running a fun little "record your own Christma short story" thing - ring in, record a few minutes (poem, story, cracker joke) on the voicemailbox, and then I'd put them out over Christmas week.

I suspect I've left it a bit late for this year ...

Done! I restricted the search to sections which have their own author linked in the DB. Those are more likely to stand alone rather than being part of a 'chapter book' . Of course it omits lots of genuine candidates but greatly reduces the need to filter manually AND still leaves plenty of choices. (And, additional reader IDs would yield more choices.)
