→‎Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version) narrative form Introduction for audio computer Read aloud: minor correction - meanwhile the Read aloud function has stopped for now and I won't be able to continue checking the audio until it comes back
Line 26: Line 26:  
The computer often cannot distinguish the past and present tenses of some words. Sometimes it doesn't use the right inflexion or accentuation of syllables of words in the context of the reading. For example, the past tense of "read" is sometimes given by the computer as the verb to read something as if reading right now, but for this narrative form on the page the word is phonetically corrected to "red". On the page it doesn't look right, but in the computer reading it sounds right. The word "live" is sometimes read as in "alive" when it should be pronounced "liv" without the 'e' on the end. The word "untie" is O.K., but the computer reads "untying" as "un-tee-ing". And the computer sometimes pronounces "present" with the accent on the first syllable as "prez-unt", and sometimes reads it as presenting something, to "pre-zent" it. The computer pronunciation can change between episodes of reading the words of the same ordinary text, when you go away and come back for a second reading of it again. For this reason phonetic spellings are used in order to produce the right pronunciation in the computer narrative of the text each time. To accommodate the sighted reader of this harmony of the Gospel conservative version narrative form, all necessary phonetic spellings on the page are bracketed by quotation marks, to show that they are not misspelling accidents overlooked by tired proofreaders.

As an illustration, turn on the Read aloud function on your computer or device, and listen to this page. Compare the reading of the text here below of the genealogy from Chapter Five of ''Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version) shorter form'', and the phonetic adaptation of the same text from the Harmony of the Gospel Conservative Version narrative form. In the first part of this example the computer's reading omits a large section of the block of of text after the fact that Joseph died, skipping everything in the genealogy up to the words "the son of Simeon, the son of Judah". Then it reads it from there to the end with "Adam, the son of God", and then it repeats everything again from the same place starting again with "the son of Simeon, the son of Judah" down to "Adam, the son of God". This defect in the computer reading of the existing text is eliminated with the adapted narrative form.
