The Current State of Korea’s Libraries and Their Relation to the Publishing Industry

Publishing Industry   The Current State of Korea’s Libraries and TheirRelation to the Publishing Industry   2021.11.01     Libraries have been around for a very long time in Korea, but the same cannot be said for libraries that fall under the modern definition. Pioneers who wanted to establish a new country as the late 19th century Joseon Dynasty passed, followed by the early 20th century Korean Empire, had the goal of establishing libraries under the modern concept.

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments   2021.05.03     Recent issues surrounding audiobooks   The voice service provided in announcements, news reading services, or e-book devices uses TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology that converts written letters into sound.

Recently, as more people read books while traveling, e-books are transforming into audiobooks. Most people wish to hear a human’s voice when listening to one. The audiobook market is growing rapidly, but the production time, cost, and technological limitations have been slowing progress down. However, as the A.I. (artificial intelligence) voice synthesis technology is now being applied where it can process natural language, synthesize voices, and recognize the context, listeners can feel as if a real voice actor or actress is reading the story. If this technology becomes capable of expres...
