This is really impressive! One thing I’ve often wanted is a way to listen to an ebook (say, while cooking), and then later be able to sit down and read from where I left off. This essentially requires the same functionality that Storyteller offers (syncing progress through an ebook and audiobook), though arguably overkill for this use case (since I could handle a more coarse alignment). In any case, is this something Storyteller would be good for? Or are there other tools for the job?


That is actually the exact use case that I originally built Storyteller for! I wanted to listen to my books on long runs, and then switch to reading when I got back.

The Storyteller mobile apps have great support for this, I think. They have fully fledged audiobook players and ebook readers, and you can switch between the two with one tap. And then of course you can also double tap on a sentence and start playing from there, with the app highlighting the currently read sentence.


What about reading on a koreader? Is bookbridge still the best bet?


i think smoores response got flagged for some reason, but there’s a StorytellerSync plugin https://github.com/Sirozha1337/storytellersync.koplugin


There are two koreader plugins:

1. StorytellerSync (https://github.com/Sirozha1337/storytellersync.koplugin), which syncs your KOReader progress directly to your Storyteller server

2. Audiobook (https://github.com/stradichenko/audiobook.koplugin), which has a WIP media overlay implementation that works with Storyteller readalouds


Storyteller works great for this. It even syncs your position across devices. So when I really want to settle in to read, I go ahead and switch from my iPhone where I was listening to my Boox e-ink reader which syncs right to where I left off.


I genuinely could not tell if this was a parody/satire or not, I think because the aesthetic reminds me of how a product like this would be presented in a horror movie or something


It look like a disney animatronic it seems Open Duck Mini is it's predecessor

Agreed. Also it seems like, if the actual test scores and perceived test scores were both sampled iid, the “perceived” line should just be flat, with everyone being at 50th percentile. The fact that the displayed graph deviates from 50 in a way that more resembles the empirical data makes it seem like a cherry-picked random sample
