This is an old revision of the document!
Under our original workflow, it would take 4.5 years to convert all our purchased titles from 2023. We have a deliverable of 4000 titles to be completed from May 2023 to March 2024. This page will outline the simplified workflow to reach this deliverable.
Each team member will received a spreadsheet at the beginning of the month. Each spreadsheet will contain 80 assigned titles. Every time you export, pass to QA, or use Hand to Rachel you must update the spreadsheet. At the end of the month, send your updated spreadsheet to Rachel to confirm all the assigned titles have been completed.
Each title should take an average time of 20 minutes
to convert.
We will no longer be doing the Split and Join for clipped tracks (i.e. when there is a couple of seconds of the previous track at the beginning of another track).
We will no longer be splitting and renaming the Sign Off/End Credits track.
The only track we will split is the First Track to separate the Title Page
if it is attached to the first chapter/introduction/preface etc.. The Title Page can include the following:
These will all stay together in the first track and be renamed Title Page
.
For the rest of the tracks, it will vary a bit title to title, but for the most part name each track: Track Two, Track Three, etc.. with no heading hierarchy and not splitting or joining.
If the book has clear Parts and Titles that are easy to label, you can still label these and add heading levels keeping to a simple naming convention: Part 1
, Chapter 1
, etc.. Only do this if you can keep within the 20 minute time from for conversion.
If the book has a chapter split over more than one track, you can join those tracks.
