Welcome to webEB!

Welcome to webEB!

We are very pleased to announce the general release of webEB, the web-based version of EasyBooks! Please check out the video to the left that introduces this significant advancement in our audiobook production system. Many thanks to Russell for creating this great video!

webEB has many of the same features of the desktop versions and in addition to the ease of a web app, it now has punch & roll recording! The video shows some of the changes and new features, and this document also explains all the differences in the desktop applications and the web app. A complete reference document is also available for those who are not familiar with EasyBooks yet, and training will soon be available.

This app works in the Chrome browser in Mac and PC, and given the issues with the Mac version of EasyBooks (particularly on the Catalina OS), we ask that all Mac audiobook volunteers switch to this version now. If you are a PC user, you can try out this version if you like, but we will maintain the PC version for a while at least.

Even if you're a PC user who wants to stay with the PC version, please install the latest PC version. The character format in notes will not appear correctly between the versions if PC users don't update.

I want to sincerely thank the development group, a wonderful group of volunteers and staff who tested and have provided valuable feedback on webEB, particularly the Mac users who have been so patient! And we can't forget a heartfelt thank you to Jay Cotton for the many hours of development time he spent developing this web app. <3
