Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to ask this.
I've been experimenting with a tool to automatically fix epubcheck and Daisy ACE errors in epubs. Also, to map epub2 to epub3 format (as a precursor to fixing issues). Cleary leveraging the rapid rise of AI technology.
This is largely a hobby for me at the moment -- not sure if the technology is quite there yet, but having been involved with ePub generation for ~25 years, across many publishers workflows, it seems to me like we are getting closer.
My tests are working pretty well at the moment, so I'm looking to expand my test-base to stress it more and see if there's any interest out there.
This is a hands free tool -- you provide an ePub, if epub2 it creates an epub3. If an epub3, it runs epubcheck and ACE, then works through the issues found and fixes what it can, creating a new epub and a detailed report of what was fixed, how it was fixed, and if not, why not. It will optionally also re-run epubcheck/ace on the new ePub to allow easy review of the improvements.
Does that sound useful? If so, please see epubs.online for a few more details and/or contact me at
crdjm1@gmail.com. As noted, I'm really looking for some test cases, with issues, that I'd run as test cases.
If I've broken some forum rules here, I'm sorry. As noted, not sure as yet where I'm taking this, just trying to move it a long a bit for now.
Many thanks,
David.
