When you finish a book you need to export the project and then pass it to QA for Quality Assurance.
After this is completed, remember to also pass the RT ticket back to the Production Coordinator.
This page walks you through each step in order.
After you select Export the Project
you will be on the export page. Here you will see some information about the file including:
If you are asked to compress the quality of the title, see the Compress Quality
section below for more instructions. If you are not asked to compress the quality see the Export
section below.
There are 4 conditions that will cause COP to ask you if you want to compress the file:
If one or more of these conditions occur, you may be presented with one or more following options:
Compress to Audio Production Quality
: is offered if the book is recorded at a bit rate higher than 128 kbps, or has music and special effect throughout the book.Compress to Standard Talking Book Quality
: this is the most common option and is offered if the book is smaller than the above rate, or has no music and special effects throughout the books.Compress to Acceptable Talking Book Quality
: is offered if the book is smaller than the above rate, or has no music and special effects throughout the books.Compress to Minimum Talking Book Quality
: is offered if the book is smaller than the above rate, or has no music and special effects throughout the books.
The most common option will be Standard Talking Book Quality
.
If you are presented with one of the above options, select the option before you export to compress the file. We do this so it is easier for the user to upload the book to their device.

Button will disappear and be replaced with plain text that reads: Will Compress to [blank] Quality
