Recording

Open a book to your recording artists

The shelf is the artists' permission list. A book on it is a book anyone in the family can record.

  1. A book screen in Voicebooks with the cover, the recordings made of it and a record button

    Find the book in the catalog

    An admin's primary button is Record this book. When there's another grown-up in the family, a second link rides under it — Add to the bookshelf without recording.

    Add it

    Tap that link. The book is on the shelf; every recording artist can see it and record it. It counts as one of the shelf's books.
  3. The Voicebooks notifications inbox

    Or answer an ask

    Artists can ask for a book from the catalog themselves. The ask lands in your inbox and on the book; approving it shelves the book.

Good to know

  • Alone in a family, an admin never sees the word "bookshelf" — recording is the only door, because the shelf grants nobody anything.
