Thanks, i've signed up! One thing that would be nice would be to restart the current line, perhaps pressing left would restart the current paragraph. Otherwise, i'm really excited about it and will give more feedback once i've used it more.

I've signed up, but I'm not sure what's supposed to be happening. I'm on the German story, and the instructions say, "Select a track from above, then click on a paragraph below after the audio loads. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to help you navigate and Shift to Play/Pause." There are no tracks to select from as far as I can see, but there is a button to press which plays the full audio. FYI, I am using Windows XP and Firefox.
I have also emailed this post, but I though people here might check it out. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The user interface definitely needs work. I couldn't figure it out either. For German, you'll have to do the following: 1. Select German from the main menu. 2. Click Der Process. 3. Click a the first chapter link under Franz Kafka. (Verhaftung...) 4. Click the Listen button right of Gert. 5. Click the Play button, then use the up/down arrows to select the next/previous paragraph. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's exactly what I did, but the audio lasts for over an hour, so I don't think it is working paragraph by paragraph. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The audio does indeed last for over an hour, but if you press the up/down arrow keys, you can skip sections or return to the previous section. (You cannot select random sections.) If the arrow keys are not working, it might be browser or OS issue. Edited by Doitsujin on 09 February 2014 at 6:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Jeffers and Doitsujin,
I added instructions for each page to make it more clear what the user should do. I also made it possible to click on a paragraph in either language (previously only English) to select that portion of audio. There may be some issues in older browsers that do not support features we are using (for Internet Explorer, you must use at least version 10), but it has been confirmed to work on recent versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Mobile browser support is still being tested: it works on iOS, but currently you must manually click the "play" button in the audio player before the audio will properly load, after which all features will work; We are working on a fix for this. I recommend using Firefox since it runs smoothest on that platform. Please let me know about any other issues you run into. 1 person has voted this message useful |
