I tested Amazon's Polly with German text to speech and it worked beautifully. It'll be a lot of extra work and I don't know how much it'll cost, but considering that only 5 languages are in audio, this gives me a way of doing 38 or so languages. I'll just do a section at a time. It's worth it though. I also have no idea, since I don't speak these languages, how accurate those strange names will sound. But hey, better than nothing.
I've added a button on the personality panel that allows all the audio of the list to be played forward from the current list selection. I also added a label showing which language the user is on.
It actually makes it nice for me to listen to the book where I've left off when I ride my bike. I guess someday, I'll convert the Javascript code into an app that lives inside the phone.
I'm done with the 5 audio languages up to the Creator son. Eventually, I'll have to start with all the attractive CGI effects but for now, I just want it to work. There is a lot of stuff I can do in the 3d panel that the games of today have added that will work. Stuff like God rays. That's the rays you see when the sun shines through openings in the clouds.
Also, I've thought adding a search box to the code as I did create a searchable Urantia book with a thesaurus that was limited to the words in the Urantia book. That was written in C++ so obviously, it would have to be converted. But that comes later. I think I have a few years of work ahead of me.
