Do you think it might be a good idea to set up a site to share the aligned overlays from Storyteller? This way, people won't have to waste CPU/GPU time re-aligning the same files over and over again.
It should be OK from a copyright perspective, as it won't be distributing any copyrighted material, only the media overlay information.
A challenge I foresee is that the media overlays are only reusable if you have the exact same input EPUB file, and have processed it with Storyteller to mark up the sentence boundaries. EPUBs have unique identifiers, though, so maybe this would be fine! We’d need to add a new processing flow to Storyteller, but it should be doable.
Feel free to hit me up in the Storyteller chat if you want to discuss more! Thanks for sharing this idea!
The entire Great Books of Western Civilization are on both, and I know I'd make more progress on reading it if I could hand off between reading and listening more easily!
It's highly likely to be globally unique, and it can also help with the missing forewords/afterwords/bonus content sections.
In addition, you can also add fuzzy matching for the title.
