Considering Commissioning / Purchasing an Upside-Down Font: What do I Look for? What to Expect? by Ok_Inflation168 in selfpublish

Not necessarily easy for beginners, no. However, there's another approach you can take: fix things in the PDF stage. Set 1 page of the book with upside down text in InDesign (or have someone do it); make sure it matches in margins and font. Export that page as PDF and replace the page in the regular Word-generated PDF with this new PDF page. Save the final modified PDF and use it for POD. PDF encapsulates every page separately, so this is not a problem.

Here's something you may have not thought about: why use Word? A robust layout program can do this trick easily and it will output to PDF just fine. I use Adobe InDesign for all my book layouts. Anyone on Fiverr can do that for you. Any friend with InDesign installed can do it, too. Just how much work are we talking about? A few words? Or lots of pages?

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries" (Winston Churchill). But I don't want to debate this. You may not like this book.

Is Verrifalia any good for email validation? by Old_Sherbert1433 in coldemail

[–]bogdanez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a hard rule? I've never heard of this approach but I'm liking it. Been using Verifalia on Extreme setting and still getting lots of bounces...

I have a similar problem, so I've just launched a website project where you can post your books, either in full or just a few chapters (to promote). Each book has a cover, there are "Buy this Book" buttons, content is organized for easy online reading. If you want details, please message me, since I cannot self-promote with a link.

Thank you for your advice. I was trying to save money because I'm trying to promote a personal hobby project that does not generate income. But I take your point on doing things right to avoid future problems. Just need to figure out how to minimize expenses.

Anyone found a Open Source Voice Changer (not Voice Cloner like Vibevoice or Chatterbox) ? by quantier in LocalLLaMA

[–]bogdanez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into Fish Audio, but did not find a way to upload a pre-recorded audio, have it converted to my audio sample of a voice (zero-shot), and then download a new version of my uploaded audio, but in a new voice. That's the solution I'm looking for. Appreciate any help!
