If someone used \u003cb\u003esyncabook\u003c/b\u003e to create an ebook for a LibriVox recording and commited source files to this repository, you can create an ebook for that recording using \u003cb\u003esyncabook\u003c/b\u003e just by getting the files with `download_files` command and then assembling them to EPUB with `create` command.\n## Repository contents\n\nThe repository contains all neccessary source files needed to produce an ebook except for audio files. Each book has a directory with the following contents:\n\n* `metadata.json` file contains all information neccessary to produce an ebook (title, author, narrator, etc.)\n\n* `sync_text/` directory contains XHTML files with the book's contents and which are synchronized with the audio\n\n* `no_sync_text/` directory contains `nav.xhtml` (table of contents) and `colophon.xhtml` (credits to contributors) and any other files which are not synchronized with the audio\n\n* `smil` directory contains SMIL files (synchronization data)\n\n* `text.txt` file contains plaintext transcript of the book\n\n* `plaintext/` directory contains transcript of the book splitted into multiple files which are then converted to XHTML files\n\n\n`map.json` is a mapping from the LibriVox audiobook URL to the corresponding directory in the repository. It is used by \u003cb\u003esyncabook\u003c/b\u003e's `download_files` command to get the files given LibriVox URL.\n\n## How to use\n\n\u003cb\u003esyncabook\u003c/b\u003e provides `download_files` command that downloads files from \u003cb\u003esynclibrivox\u003c/b\u003e repository as well as auido files from librivox.org. In order to create an ebook using files from this repo you need to run two commands:\n\n```\n$ syncabook download_files `librivox_url` `ebook_dir`\n```\nand then\n```\n$ syncabook create `ebook_dir`\n```\n\nIf you've cloned this repo and have all neccessary files except for audio, run `download_files` command with `--skip-text` argument to download audio files only:\n\n```\n$ syncabook download_files --skip-text `librivox_url` `ebook_dir`\n```\n\n## License\n\nAll materials in the repository are under CC BY 4.0 license.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fr4victor%2Fsynclibrivox","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fr4victor%2Fsynclibrivox","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fr4victor%2Fsynclibrivox/lists"}
