Create Audiobook in Japanese: what to know
Japanese listeners expect natural phrasing and correct readings of kanji, which is the part of Japanese narration most worth checking.
- Some kanji have several readings, and names are the usual trouble spot. Listen to a sample chapter and fix any wrong readings by editing that sentence.
- Japanese text has no spaces between words, so sentence breaks in the source file matter. Use clean punctuation.
- Vertical-text EPUBs are fine. Warblize reads the text, not the layout.
