File naming

The files are numbered sequentially.

Example:

00001_C01.wav
00001_C01.txt

Meaning:

• —00001 is the sequential clip number
• —C01 means chapter 1
• —C02 means chapter 2
• —C58 means chapter 58
• —.wav contains the synthetic speech
• —.txt contains the corresponding transcript

Sorting the files by filename restores the original order of the novel.

Each WAV file has a transcript file with the same base filename.

Audiobook reconstruction

Playing or concatenating the WAV files in sequential filename order reconstructs the synthetic German audiobook.

The reconstructed audiobook may be created, converted and listened to privately.

Public audiobook publication, commercial release or redistribution requires permission from Maurice Hartmann.

Limitations

The audio is synthetically generated and may contain pronunciation errors, unusual pauses, inconsistent emphasis, generation artifacts, occasional transcript/audio mismatches and varying speaking rhythm between clips.
