- | ======== Converting MP3 to DAISY Audio using Converter Plus======== | ||
- | |||
- | This page is the instructions for how to use Converter Plus (formally NAC). As this is an ongoing project, this page is subject to updates as we improve the application and workflow. | ||
- | |||
- | The purpose of Converter Plus is to perform a rapid DAISY conversion, requiring as little human intervention as possible. Moreover, all required interaction takes place in one simple phase, so operators need not return to the computer to complete a conversion. The interface is clean and simple, so is entirely accessible to screen readers. Independent of any particular device or platform, a conversion can be requested from virtually any web-capable device anywhere in the world. Finally, because the original audio files are not modified, the quality of the input tracks is not affected by a conversion. | ||

- | =====Communication and Project Workflow===== | ||
- | |||
- | After you have concluded your onboarding and training you will be assigned 40 titles a week. | ||
- | |||
- | Rachel will upload a spreadsheet to your dropbox that contains the URL links and the titles of your assigned books for that week. Please follow the instructions below for how to sideload a title. | ||
- | |||
- | If you come across an error message, stop your work. Email Rachel the full name of the project, exactly what you did to cause the error and a full copy-paste of the error. It is important that you do not paraphrase the error message, as we will need the exact wording to know what the issue is. You will have to put your Converter Plus work on hold until we solve the error. | ||
- | |||
- | If you have an issue with the file, such as it is not divided into proper chapters, you can pass the book to Rachel without exporting it. Please see below in '' | ||
- | |||
- | Any questions or concerns around your work beyond this you can email Rachel directly. | ||
- | |||
- | It is important you go through this documentation and process carefully. This project is all about paying attention to detail and asking questions if anything is confusing. | ||

- | When you have finished a book you will export it and '' | ||
