Hi Joana -

Welcome back! I have just begun to listen to this section and must stop and finish DPLing tomorrow. You are a really good reader. I do have concern about the quality of the sound, though. It is as if you are inside a metalic container. This might be something that could be adjusted with an app like Audacity. Not sure and I am not one to give system advice.

Could our admin (sorry, don't know your name...) please give a brief listen and let me know whethr or not this is indeed a concern? If so, any recommended fixes?

Thanks - Betsy

Hi Betsy,

my name is Bernd (lorda).
I had a short listen to section 3 and I think the sound is OK.

Hi Bernd -

Thanks for this quick reply. No problem then! Joanna - please don't let me slow you down. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

I could DPL this project, if you still need someone. - Betsy

We do. Thank you very much for your assistance with this!

Once additional sections are completed and listened to,(maybe around half or so) I would like to work with you also on creating a summary for the book. The title of the book gives it away but some multi-paragraph explanation would be beneficial.

This is mostly very well read. I do have some notes of items that need fixing, though:

17:32
Written: “Infirmities”; spoken: “informities”
22:26
Written: “…is some confirmation of …”; spoken: ““…in some confirmation of …”
26:58
Written: “generosity”; spoken: “generation”

I also have concern about background noises. They come and go a lot through the recording. But here are a few that really stood out to my ears:
20:47
Background noise – perhaps moving the microphone or something like that?
More at 24:08 and 24:24

Your actual reading is very good. But I do find myself distracted by surrounding noises - especially in that time area around 20-24 minutes. I would be grateful if our Admin would give a listen to that portion and provide an opinion. Thanks!
