You could also us an identifier. You can create an arbitrary identifier to either open the directory for the audio file, or open the file. As an example, to add a reference to an MP3 file, I created an identifier rule as:
Code:
Key: mp3 Name: MP3 Template: file:///E:\Music\{id} |

@CRussel:
No need to recreate the wheel and/or do manually what can already be automated. The following tool does everything you have requested plus a lot more. It also does not do what you do not want unless you specifically tell it to, such as copying your audio files to the Calibre directory structure. The Original Post clearly explains its flexibility. Among other things, it will automatically create a custom Identifier to the original path if you tell it to via Dynamic Variables. The latest version is 1.0.16 dated 2016-09-07 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=277104 DaltonST |

Thank You!
That does look like it will do what I want. I had looked at it briefly, but got confused by the embroidery discussion and missed how it would do what I'm looking for. |

I'm looking for peoples opinions please.
I am working on a voice recognition frontend to Calibre. I've got a functioning grammatical parsing engine running in both online and offline modes. this will turn Calibre into a Echo like device. Since my libraries have Audiobooks now this seemed kind of cool. I'm building this for my young daughter to read her stories. My question here is; what do you think i should make the top 10 spoken commands? obviously, play, pause, search author, search title, and search Genre are already in progress. What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance. |

@casteroil - I use convert, count (pages), modify (ePub), view (specific format), library (switch) and edit (book) a lot. Probably not the sort of things your daughter will want to do in the short term at least.
Maybe you could make it configurable, where users could choose their favourite 10 from a larger menu of commands - e.g. 'edit' for me would open the current book in the book editor, whereas for someone else it would open the single book metadata editor window for the current book. Good luck with your project - BR Last edited by BetterRed; 01-09-2017 at 04:43 AM. |

I think BR is heading down the same track. There are 2 general uses of Calibre:
1) Access to books 2) Management of the Library and Content Your daughter is clearly in the #1 group BR and Myself are heavily into #2 Useful commands (could be group sensitive) Transfer [attached device implied], Send [default folder], Mail (to) Plugin <plugin name> << a variation on BR's idea Spell, Character <A B C Period> Stop,End << for when spoken words are not decoded |

Shortcut keys 1-5 for rating
It would be very handy if there where shortcut keys to set the rating for the selected record. Could be (ctrl-) 1 - 5

I'm using a grammatical parsing engine so there are no specific command lines. "play" and "unpause" do the same action as "continue story"
Copy to device is on my list as is a VCD terminal app to type out authors names directly on the Ebook device. it may be easier to just map the increment and decrement keys to GPIO pins and use a rotary encoder i think. Other than that, search sort and save are the best things i can come up with. but then i suppose there is the possibility to play Podcasts in reverse chronological order for instance. Thoughts?

Ah, yes. as you said this is intended for only the group 1 crowd as you said. i am going for the easiest possible way to access as large a volume of books and audiobooks as possible. in a way this is sort of the exact opposite direction some dev's here are taking, but it would achieve "made as simple as possible,.. but no more".
Could you fine people please let me know if this is not the appropriate forum for something like this? i dont want to annoy folks if im posting to the wrong location. |

But if it won't be implemented as calibre plugin then we should probably move the discussion into its own thread the Related Tools sub-forum. If you want me to move the discussion to date, I need a thread title and a destination - Plugins, or Related Tools. BR |

yes, part of it is a plugin but the implementation makes Calibre screen free. I'm not sure how to categorize that. other than i suppose to call it a talking Calibre bot since searches render value strings in English. So then... related tools? Dunno.
