+ | Q: I'm working on Sin Eater, my first MP3 to DAISY, and after the end of the last chapter file comes this blurb: | ||
+ | "This is the end of Sin Eater, but keep listening after the credits for a special note from the author. If you enjoyed this audiobook, find more just like it from Podium Publishing, the leader in Sci Fi and Fantasy audiobooks, available exclusively on Audible.com." | ||

+ | Q: I have another question about an Andy Weir title - The Martian. The audiobook seems to have a chapter of bonus content that isn't in the ebooks TOC. The narrator on the last track says: "And now some selections from the files of Marc Watney. Diary of An AssCan." | ||
+ | |||
+ | All this to say - I'm not sure how to name this track and it isn't in a TOC so I can't refer there. The narrators wording is kind of long... Can I call it " | ||

+ | Q: In Rough and Plenty (Project name Rogers), the TOC uses roman numerals for the chapter numbers (the TOC uses lower case roman numerals whereas the chapter headings use upper case. I've been trying to follow the roman numerals, but converter plus keeps mixing the cases so it ends up being Iii or Vi. Is this something that can be fixed or should I switch to using numbers instead? Thanks for your help! | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: COP has a built in Capitalization function to aid people with screen readers have the proper capitalization when using the app. It is still a bit buggy, and I am unable to fix the Roman Numeral bug at this point. You can just replace the Roman Numerals with Arabic Numerals (1,2,3 etc..) | ||

+ | Q: I have two questions regarding “Rough and Plenty” (Project name Rodgers). | ||
+ | |||
+ | This title has long chapters, many of which have been divided into two tracks. The narrator begins each track with “Chapter 1, part 1, Shelburne County….” Or “Chapter 2, part 2”. I’m wondering the best way to handle this. Should I combine the two parts into one track because they are one chapter - or should I keep them separate? Ch 1 P1 is 1:11:29 in length and Ch1 P2 is 49:12 if that makes a difference. If I keep them separate, should I match what the narrator says in my titles and use heading level 3 for the “part 1 / part 2” like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | First track of chapter | ||
+ | H1: Hemmed-In Communities | ||
+ | H2: Chapter 1: Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, Mid-1970s | ||
+ | H3: Part 1 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Second track of chapter | ||
+ | H1: | ||
+ | H2: | ||
+ | H3: Part 2 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Second question, the publisher has a track titled “Alt Text and Captions” that begins abruptly with the alt-text for figure 1. Can I leave this named as such? I wanted to check since I don’t see a relevant term listed in the Audiobook Glossary section of the wiki, and it isn’t included in the ebook and the narrator doesn’t say a title! Thanks for your help! | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: The heading structure looks good. You can keep the name as is for the Alt-text section and give it a H1 heading. It is not an ideal way to record Alt-text, which is why we are pushing so hard in the industry to create standards. | ||

The second track begins with an image description (which closely represents the images on the front cover) followed by a short paragraph titled "The Six Virtues" | Q:I am working on the title Transition to Common Work (file name Mancini) and I have a question about naming a track.

+ | A: Great question! Narrators often read the Alt-text directly into a track. Name the track for its heading. In other cases we would then tag the Alt-text, but this is not a requirement for this project. | ||
