<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I like what you did! That is great!
Siri, is of course only available for iOS, so unless there was a
SWORD TTS ( I remember using some open source TTS once... but I
don't think it was as realistic sounding as that). But this would
obviously keep the file sizes down, and remove the need for
something like mp3 codecs (though ogg is most likely what I would
use anyhow).<br>
hmm... ok here are some links<br>

though I think some of those a proprietary.<br>
It might be interesting, this way all new modules would
automatically have an 'audio' component, and it could all
programatically be linked together (like your word by word
highlighting)<br>
Thanks for the food for thought<br>

<div>One difficult issue is the large size of audio files.
This makes it impractical for most people to download
all available audio for a module at one time. It seems
there needs to be some way that users can be notified
when audio is available for a module, but also be able
to choose the chapter(s) they want to download, and get
them only when they want them. Maybe the SWORD module
manager allows this already I don't know.<br>
<br>
</div>
I should mention that xulsword did not use the SWORD API
for its module manager because it would have been
difficult to wrap the C++ functionality into Javascript,
and doing so would not have made XUL's RDF database coding
any easier, plus using Firefox's build-in parallel
download capabilities makes it possible to work with
xulsword (including most of the module manager itself) and
download various modules all at the same time.<br>

<div>The new xulsword (3.6+) which hasn't officially
been announced yet, but which is available now as
a google code download, has a module manager which
handles audio. As of today, audio for WEB is
available from IBT's audio "repository" where it
can be downloaded in zip module format. However
currently xulsword for Linux cannot play the audio
(only the Windows version can, but this should be
remedied in the future). This demonstrates one
possible module manager implementation for audio.
But xulsword expects no other special markup to
handle the audio. It simply looks for an audio
file for any chapter it's displaying, and if it
finds one, it shows a clickable audio icon above
the chapter.<br>

<div>Alternatively you could use the
OSIS methods specified or use HTML
elements. Most Sword applications
render out HTML into a reasonably
modern display engine. You could
cover a great many Sword users by
embedding audio elements into your
module for play. Controlling
multiple such files on a single
rendering might be difficult and
might require some additional
tweaking to applications.<br>

Audio Bibles<br>

Hi, I e-mailed the Bible
Time list about this,
but I thought I would
e-mail this list as
well.<br>
Is there support for
Audio Bibles built into
SWORD? Are there any
audio Bibles hosted
already? If there
aren't any would it be
ok to package some to
include in the repos,
assuming Audio
integration could be
included in most SWORD
programs.<br>
I am specifically
working on an Ubuntu
Touch Bible app, and
would like to have an
offline Audio Bible, as
"Faith comes by
hearing". It would be
great to include this
functionality. Of
course if crosswire wont
host this, I suppose I
might get a repo going
somewhere.<br>
<br>
The audio Bibles I have
in mind are of course
public domain, namely <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://librivox.org" target="_blank">librivox.org</a>. Of course
they contain an intro
about librivox and are
not in verse by verse
sections. There is also
a public domain KJV
bible read by firemen
(though I can't remember
where I found that
one... something like <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://firefighters.org">firefighters.org</a>... not sure though)<br>
<br>
Anyhow thanks for any
pointers you can give
(especially specific
header files if they
exist)<br>
<br>
May the LORD Jesus
Christ continue to bless
all of you for your
precious work!<br>
<br>
