LibriVox, Project Gutenberg[edit]
LibriVox (http://librivox.org/) has many high-quality public-domain audio recordings of public-domain works, including books, plays, poems, and essays. Could a bot be created to:
- add those recordings to this page?
- add those recordings to their respective works on Wikisource?
Also, Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) has many public-domain works in .pdf and plain text formats. Does Wikisource already use this as a resource? --Mattmatt1987 (talk) 17:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- We do use both, although more Gutenberg than LibriVox at the moment. Personally, I have been adding LibriVox recordings manually but I have no idea if this is something a bot could do. I'm actually a little behind on adding the short stories I've already moved to Commons:Category:LibriVox recordings (there is a tool for moving them to Commons at least, although even there the information needs to be entered manually). Someone else might know about whether the bot is possible if you ask at the community discussion forum, Wikisource:Scriptorium. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 21:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikiradio[edit]
Hi all, as you all know, that we have Wikiradio with us, which transmits real-time audio service via the Internet as synchronized set of tracks. I just added English Spoken Wikisource as one of the station of the radio. Please feel free to add new audio files to this station. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 10:10, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
