DAISY

Usually produced and distributed by specialized libraries or NGOs, the DAISY format offers a significantly enhanced reading experience for ebooks that are not available in EPUB3. Thorium supports reading DAISY 3 and 2.02, both in their text only, audio only, and syncronised text and audio.

PDF

despite a well-known lack of flexibility (no reflow option) and accessibility, many ebooks are still available in PDF only, especially in public libraries.

Audiobooks

a standardized format for audiobooks has been designed by the W3C Publishing Working Group in 2020, and EDRLab was part of this WG. Thorium is supporting the packaged (LPF) audiobook format, which will soon be widely used by booksellers, or so we hope.

Visual narratives

EDRLab has designed a standard format for comics, manga, webtoons and other styles of digital works based on sequances of images. Divina is the name of this format. This is still an experimental format, and we hope that publishers will size it in 2021+.

4.6 - Frequently asked questions

How can I enjoy Thorium in Fullscreen?

Ctrl + F11 in a reader window, will toggle this window fullscreen. Note that this is different from the Zen mode available from the top right pictogram. Keyboard shortcut is the only way to go full screen.

Why can't I open an ebook without it being save in the Thorium Reader library?

Thorium, like several other ebook readers and reading systems stores imported publications in its own filesystem space, as this provides a guarantee that per-publication state and external metadata (e.g. bookmarks, settings, highlights, DRM status, etc.) can be reliably attached.

Why is there no read aloud nor annotations for PDFs?

EDRLab prioritises its work on offering a great experience to EPUB users. In Thorium Reader, advanced features like TTS and annotations are consequently available for EPUB first, and we expect that other app developers will get the best from PDF files. It does not mean that advanced features will never be available on PDF in Thorium, simply that our limited budget is used for what we consider best for ebook readers.

I accidentally rotated my PDF pages, how can't get it back?

The shortcuts for rotating PDF pages are:

• Rotate the document clockwise: r
• Rotate the document counterclockwise: shift + r

I can't select the adequate voice for read aloud function (TTS)

Thorium uses the voices from the computer's operating system, in combination with the language information provided by the book.

• If you are using windows you can follow Microsoft’s guide Download the language pack for voice.
• If you are using Mac OSX the guide Change the voice that the Mac uses to pronounce text.

Once the required voice is installed, Thorium will choose the voice corresponding to the language of the book.

It may happen that the book has the wrong language. In this case, Thorium allows you to change the voice to one that is present in the system via the Voice menu

How can I transfer the entire book collection from one machine to another?

Having a UI for exporting the whole catalog is not a priority currently.

The publications are stored in a well-known directory.

• on Windows10: C:\Users\ user name \AppData\Roaming\EDRLab.ThoriumReader\publications\
• on MacOS: /Users/ user name /Library/Application Support/EDRLab.ThoriumReader/publications/
• on Debian: /home/ user name /.config/EDRLab.ThoriumReader/publications/

In case of a migration from one computer to another or similar usecases, you can copy all ebook files in this repository and open them in the new installation of Thorium.

Self build instances alternatively stores publication in a publication-dev folder.

If I downgrade Thorium to an older version, what happens to my bookmarks and highlights?

Since Thorium 3.4.0, the storage of notes has been modified for better performance and reliability, which brings an important evolution in how Thorium persists your highlights and bookmarks.

Important: If you plan to downgrade to an earlier version of Thorium (such as 3.3.0 or older), any notes you have created in Thorium 3.4.0 or later will not be accessible in the older version, as they use a different storage format.

To preserve your bookmarks and highlights before downgrading:

1. Open Thorium Reader
2. Go to the Library view
3. For each book with notes, open it and export your bookmarks and highlights
4. Use the Export notes button to save your bookmarks and highlights to a file
5. Then downgrade to your desired version

We recommend staying on version 3.4.0 or later to benefit from the improved note storage and avoid compatibility issues.

4.7 - Stuck?

If you do not find the answer to your problem on this site, you can tell us your problem via our support tracking tool or contact form.

Here is the information we need:

• Operating system and it version
• Thorium version (it is indicated at the bottom of the library under the title About Thorium)

5 - Accessibility

Thorium Reader is for everyone, including people who are blind or have other types of visual, cognitive or motor disabilities. The application is compatible with accessible technologies like screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, Narrator and VoiceOver. It includes a read-aloud feature with visual highlighting. Thorium Reader can be used with the mouse or the keyboard, and keyboard shortcuts are configurable. The display can be customized to meet the needs of users, including colors, text size, spacing, font and layout.

Accessibility information

Accessibility information Currently Thorium displays in the Book information panel, the accessibility information provided by the publisher. Thorium displays this information as it was defined. In case of doubt or complaint, please contact the distributor or the publisher of the file.

Reading with a screen reader

Reading with a screen reader Activating screen reader support Thorium automatically detects assistive technology, but, since 3.3, users must explicitly activate screen reader support by ticking the checkbox in the application settings (this is a global preference for the main library window as well as all reader windows). In the previous versions, this support was automatically activated. We had to modify this feature because third-party applications can request the same privileges as assistive technology at the level of the operating system, which in turn causes Thorium to incorrectly detect screen readers.

Accessibility policy

EDRLab is a non profit developpement laboratory and places accessibility as a core requirement of it’s actions. That include the developpement of Thorium Reader. However, the core aspect of innovation and experimentation of our work may affect accessibility at some points. Funding limitations may also affect our action and will to provide the best reading experience for all readers. These are the main reasons why we cannot, at this moment, afford a full accessibility testing cycle at each release.

Reading with a screen reader

Activating screen reader support

Thorium automatically detects assistive technology, but, since 3.3, users must explicitly activate screen reader support by ticking the checkbox in the application settings (this is a global preference for the main library window as well as all reader windows).

In the previous versions, this support was automatically activated. We had to modify this feature because third-party applications can request the same privileges as assistive technology at the level of the operating system, which in turn causes Thorium to incorrectly detect screen readers.

Thorium adapts its behavior when screen reader support is enabled:

• Text input fields for bookshelf searches require explicit validation (e.g., pressing Enter or clicking the search button) to trigger the search, instead of the default instantaneous “search as you type” behavior.
• In the reader window, the presentation of EPUB HTML documents is forced to “scroll” mode instead of the default “paginated” view, in order to avoid issues with CSS columns.
• Webviews are fully refreshed during navigation because some screen readers do not support Thorium’s optimized HTML rendering.
• The automatic estimation of the user’s reading location (i.e. position inside the text) based on how far the HTML content is scrolled inside the visible viewport is disabled. This is necessary because screen readers do not consistently move into view the actively-spoken text.

Annotating & bookmarking

Based on the feedback we have received so far, it looks like it is very difficult for screen reader users to select an actual range of characters. Such assistive technology allows users to select text inside the screen reader’s virtual buffer, so the application isn’t aware that the user is reading at a particular location and is selecting text there.

Consequently, screen reader users prefer to use the bookmarking feature which anchors a simple, optionally-labelled bookmark to a coarse reading location (there is an icon button in the top toolbar, but the CTRL + B keyboard shortcut can be used too). Thorium actually does pick-up the mouse cursor click on a single text character, as this helps focus a bookmark on a more precise HTML location.

In Thorium, currently the bookmark label editor supports multiple lines of text input, which makes it possible to annotate coarse document locations. This can therefore be perceived as a replacement for the actual annotator, but there is no import/export of bookmarks data.

More feedback is welcome through our discussion tracker there:Message to Thorium screen reader users… #2867.

Using bookmarks with NVDA

Windows screen readers use a virtual buffer for reading. To place a bookmark where you are currently reading press the key combination NVDA + Enter, and NVDA will say “activate “. This synchronizes the virtual buffer with the current real location so Thorium can deduce the object on which the cursor is located. Then use Ctrl + B to place a bookmark. A sound notification will inform you of the number of bookmarks in the current publication.

understanding all and each users’ needs

We capture feedback about customers’ experiences from an accessibility perspective through different channels: * Developpement Issue tracker dedicated Label Accessibility * Email contact form * Indivdual feedback collected by our members organisations dedicated to serving people with disabilities

Thorium Reader accessibility features are informed

When an accessibility feature is introduced, we make that information public through

• the version change log
• a short mention on the website landing page
• listed for reference in this website resources section, accessibility page
• all accessibility related explanations are available in the documentation, not in a separate chapter or place.

We are maintaining an Accessibility Conformance Report for Thorium Reader.

Support for assistive technology

A specific attention is given to non visual access through screen readers.

As much as possible we intend to maintain a similar access path between visual and non visual access. Whenever necessary, we use dedicated technologies like ARIA-Role.

New functionalities are tested with screen readers.

Accessibility testing

Thorium EPUB accessible reading features are community testing through epubtest.org

opds.informations	Imagine a world where you can explore and download digital publications from public libraries and digital booksellers with just a few clicks. That’s exactly what the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) catalog format offers. With OPDS, you can navigate through catalogs from various ebook providers, sign up, borrow, buy a publication, or visit your personal bookshelf. You can even download an ebook or audiobook directly into Thorium Reader for instant reading.	So, how do you find an OPDS catalog? It’s simple. Look for a hyperlink (URL) leading to the catalog. Copy this URL into the Link field above. Keep in mind that there’s no one-stop shop for all active OPDS catalogs. You’ll need to contact your preferred library or bookseller and ask for their OPDS catalog URL. If you’re not sure where to start, Wikipedia has a few registries of OPDS catalogs in various languages that might be helpful.	The Name field is left at your convenience; it provides an easy way to identify the feed in Thorium Reader.

6.4 - Your help is precious

You too can help Thorium Reader become the best reading application reading application by becoming a member of EDRLab. Or by making a donation to the EDRLab via the Github sponsorship "piggy-bank", which accepts small monthly donations.

Thorium is built by its community. If you want to participate, please contact us !

You can also:

• Report an error or suggest a change by opening an Issue in our [support tracking tool](https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader-doc/issues/new).
• Participate in the translation of resources.

6.5 - Contribute to this documentation

Thorium and its documentation are developed thanks to the user community. We need help to translate this documentation.

To do so, you can contact us.

If you are comfortable enough with GitHub and the Markdown format you can propose a new translation via a Pull Request.

To do this: clone the repository and create a branch with the name of the language you want to add, make a copy of the content.en folder and rename it with two letters corresponding to the language you want to add (for example content.es will contain the Spanish translation). The names of the files must not be changed as they insure correspondence between languages.

The i18n folder contains the translations for the fixed elements of the header and footer. Several languages are already present, if your language is not present, copy paste the .yaml file and rename it with the first two letters of the letters of the language you want to add.

Finally to activate the menu of the language you add, edit the file config.toml and add the language with the following code:

[languages.en]
  languageName = 'English'
  contentDir = 'content.en'
  weight = 1

You must replace .en' with the first two letters of the language you are adding and fill in the name of the language as the languageNamevalue. Theweight` indicates the order of appearance in the language menu.

Example for Spanish :

[languages.es]
  languageName = 'Español'
  contentDir = 'content.es'
  weight = 3

Localized images such as screenshots should be added to the folder statics/images/local-(two letter language).
