Hello, Yuqing,

Section 34(89:13) has been uploaded for your PL. Whew!!

This is a tough section. There are a couple of places I feel unsure. However, I couldn't find any other text source online for me to feel confident about changing, so I just read what the original source shows.

Take your time!

Section 34 - SEE PL NOTES

23:23 才好叫學生益知勉學 - 知 was read as 加
48:21 瀟湘館立腳不牢 - 牢 was read as 穩
58:44 擱下筐子 - 擱 was read as 攔
1:18:01 恰巧戴勤走後 - 巧 was read as 好

So few slip-ups for such a long section! Well done :thumbs:
Loved the voice acting!
Cheers,
Yuqing :D

Hello, Yuqing,

Corrections were complete. Thank you for your encouraging words, which are important to keep me going! I honestly started wondering what got to me almost 3 years ago to think I could do this!

The next chapter will be some time to come with my current schedule.

Hello, Yuqing,

I finally finished Section 35. However, Audacity 3.4.2 I recently updated to doesn't seem to have an Export to MP3 option. Do you know if there's any tip on the librivox site instructing users on how to make this available?

Thanks.

That's some amazing progress - well done!

I had a look around and couldn't find anything helpful, sorry :oops:
Any tips from our MC MaryAnn? Thank you!

Hmm. I have 3.4.2.

Look under File / Export Audio
From there you can pick the format: MP3
Be sure check your settings:
Channel: mono
sample rate: 44100 Hz
Bit depth: 16 bit

Couple of pictures of how it looks for me are here: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/Audacity_export.zip

MaryAnn,

Thank you for the assistance. The only parameter I didn't see is the "bit depth". I still exported a file, which I hope is ok. Thanks again.

Yuqing,

I uploaded Section 35 for your PL. Need to let you know a few things -

1. 莫聲□先生- I searched online from a number of sources, but simply couldn't find what this missing character is after 莫聲. I decided to just read the way it is since it's just a name. The locations are 1:37 and 1:52.
2. 清懼老者 - I believe it's a misprint from 清癯老者 (27:48)
3. 類主政 - Based on the same name at other places, it should be a misprint from 婁主政 (33:43, 44:17).
4. □著點腰兒 - Cannot find any other source to help me determine what the missing character is! So, I read 彎著點腰兒 (73:00).

A long read! Thanks.

It's really long indeed! Thanks for putting in so much effort.

I'm afraid Checker wants to see a 44.1 kHz sampling rate to let your work pass. Is there any way you might be able to fix this?

I agree with the word adjustments you made. Thank you for flagging them to me!
I'll PL the content as soon as I can :thumbs:
Cheers,
Yuqing :D

MaryAnn,

I wonder if you could give me some quick help. I've never invested much time to learn Audacity. This new upgraded version obviously includes new features and rearranged things, and my limp-along mode wouldn't work any more! I found the "project sample rate" in the Quality section of the Audio Setting. It does show 44100 Hz for my recording device. If this indeed is right, is it possible that my export process somehow changed it? Hopefully, you can help me get out of my confusion.

Thank you.

MaryAnn,

I just fired up the Export window to see the sample rate parameter and it does show 44100 Hz!

Interesting ... checker shows it at 24,000 kHz.

I just ran one of my very recent files (made with this version of audacity) through checker and it came back with 41,000 kHz ... so I don't think it a checker problem.

Let me do some looking on the settings in Audacity ...

OK,
Check Edit / Preferences (or Ctrl P)
Audio Settings

There is a place there to enter Quality as well ... make sure they are set to 44100 Hz and 16-bit ...
