How it works

A short tour of the editor, then every screen with what its controls do. After this you can edit, dub and listen without waiting for anyone.

1. 01Signing in

   Use the address and password you were sent. No Google account, no emailed code — the password is the gate.

   Lost the password? Write to Tal; his address is on the Contact screen.

   

2. 02The first time

   We ask for your full name and whether you agree to be credited in the published book. The name is required; the credit is your choice — declining changes nothing about your work.

   This screen also carries Tal's details. He is the address for anything about the content.

   

3. 03The library

   The book and its chapters. Each row shows your language and where it stands — translated, recorded, or waiting.

   You see only the languages assigned to you. A missing language is a permission, not a fault.

   

4. 04Reading and listening

   The English original on the left, your translation on the right, paragraph against paragraph. Play chapter plays the finished recording.

   A whole chapter plays only when every paragraph is recorded. If some are missing you get a counter instead of a player.

   

5. 05Editing

   Press Edit and type straight into the right-hand column. Nothing reaches the book until you press Save; Reset puts back what was there.

   The text is also the narration script — what is written is what gets read aloud.

   

6. 06The controls under every paragraph

   Listen plays the current recording. Re-dub records the paragraph again from the text in the box — you hear it first, then keep it or discard it. Don't narrate marks a box or caption that should not be read. Agent opens the writing agent for that paragraph.

   A take that fails the quality checks is not saved, and the previous recording stays. You get the reason and can try again.

   

7. 07Each language is its own edition

   Every language is an independent edition of the book. Moving a paragraph (by dragging it) changes the order in your language only, and so does "Don't narrate". The other languages do not change, and each paragraph still faces the English paragraph it was translated from.

   After a move, the chapter audio is rebuilt in the new order from the existing recordings. Nothing is re-recorded.

8. 08Dubbing a whole chapter

   Dub chapter records every paragraph that is missing or whose text changed since it was recorded. Re-record chapter records every paragraph again, including the ones already recorded — for example after the dubbing direction changed. Both run in the background: the counter climbs, the screen is not locked — keep working, or leave and come back.

   One run per chapter at a time. If a re-record stops halfway, press it again and it continues where it stopped.

   

9. 09The writing agent

   Write one instruction in your own language. With no paragraph selected it works on the whole chapter; select a paragraph and it works only on that one. It only suggests: proposals appear in the boxes, marked, and you approve each one.

   Once approved — dub and listen. That is how you fix several paragraphs at once and reach the result without waiting for us.

   

10. 10Translation and narration guides

    A rule that holds for the whole book in your language — write it here once. Wording, a fixed term, how something is pronounced. It joins the instructions the engine gets on the next run.

    A direction applies to new recordings only. After changing it — an accent, say — press Re-record chapter so the existing recordings follow it too.
