I couldn't find a direct option to adjust the font size. Could you add that?

#72Really nice. I think we might have similar backgrounds. Say hi sometime if you like. Feedback: I couldn't work out how to begin audio - it didn't autoplay in Arc (which might block autoplay) but then maybe is also be hiding some sort of audio control. Scroll didn't seem to trigger it. Actually, after mucking around hard refreshing trying to work out what I'm meant to click after the thing that was meant to carry stuf…

#73I tried listening to Dracula, found the audio a bit monotonous tbh, but love the overall idea! It was smooth reading the story alongside.. though I do believe that you should either highlight the line being said out loud, or scroll to the section, or basically do something that makes it easier to track where the audio is right now. Would be very helpful if I missed a word or two, and just kinda want to go back and read them instead of looping the audio back.

there's a subtle line on the left that should track vaguely where you are in the paragraph, i added a little easter egg yesterday: if you hold the play button the indicator grows to highlight the lines in the text, so that may help
but in general: noted that it's hard to follow along!

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
moby dick didn't align properly, there's a confidence gate it didn't pass. i know, it makes me sad too, i'll keep working on it this is the list of everything: https://tale.fyi/audiobooks librivox is all human volunteers, so i think it makes a difference from eleven labs, but i might add a fallback to ai readings for folks who want that reset feedback noted!

i actually wrote this up (and narrated it, ha) into a full tale: https://tale.fyi/@sam/aligning-800-audiobooks-8-000-hours-to...

#76Forced alignment using CTC over LibriVox recordings to sync text and audio is a brilliant use of compute. Whispersync for the open web—love it!
i really loved this description, and i wrote up the technique into a full tale:

#77This looks lovely, thank you. Is there a source repository available?
not right now! i'm still deciding what i want to do with this tbh, the most exciting thing is the aligner, i might extract that into an open source project... that's a good idea
i did end up open-sourcing the aligner! https://github.com/samuelcole/tale-align
