Listening and Revising
The Listen view is home base for a book once at least one chapter has rendered — not just a playback screen, but the place you actually judge whether the performance landed, and fix it in place when it didn't. Below, The Drowning Bell — finished, 12 chapters, a cast of 6 — with cover art, title, cast size, and total runtime up top, and quick actions to play from the start, export, preview as a listener would hear it, restructure chapters, or replace the manuscript.
Click any chapter row to play it in the mini-player pinned to the bottom of the screen — it stays there across every view, so you can keep listening while you work elsewhere in the app. Drop a bookmark while listening (the mini-player's marker icon, or the M key) and it shows up in a Markers panel above the chapter list, grouped by chapter, with click-to-seek back to that exact moment.
A plain bookmark is just a note to yourself. Flip one to a re-record marker — the refresh icon next to it — and it grows a "Fix this line" button that jumps straight into the per-line re-record flow for that exact moment. You never have to regenerate a whole chapter to fix one reading that didn't land. Below, The Drowning Bell's Markers panel with both kinds side by side — a plain note ("Great line reading") and a re-record marker ("Mispronounced name — needs a re-record") carrying the "re-record" pill and its "Fix this line" button:
Pick up to 60 seconds of a chapter and download it as a standalone MP3 — no re-encoding, so the quality matches the source exactly. It's the fastest way to hand someone thirty seconds of proof that the apprentice really does sound thirteen.
Drag either handle to set the start and end, and the clip-length readout updates live so you can dial in exactly 60 seconds or less before downloading.
A screenshot of the per-line re-record flow itself (once "Fix this line" is clicked) is tracked as a follow-up (Refs #1289).
