The Current State of Subscription-Based Services of Korea’s Published Content

Publishing Industry The Current State of Subscription-Based Services of Korea’s Published Content 2021.10.05 Mobile phones provide convenience as they can be used to write or read while on the move. There have been quite a lot of changes in how books, music, movies, dramas, games, and other content are created and consumed.

The major examples of this would be short-form content, which you can use for a short period, and subscriptions for sale, through which you can have unlimited access to content depending on the subscription period.

Book Funds and Publication 2021.07.05 From support and cooperation to investment and profit It is impossible to trace the origin of book funds. They would have existed from the infancy stage of the publishing industry as one of the various ways of publication. Certain stories could be deemed good stories necessary for the world, but for them to be published in the market as a product called books, you need capital. Funds might have been used as a means to raise money. Indeed, the nature of funds in the past would have been closer to support and cooperation (of course, I cannot look into what those fund-raisers had in mind), whereas funds today are more focused on investment and profit-sharing (people might have different thoughts as well but most of the funds I participate in are supportive and cooperative).In the Korean publishing industry, book funds only account for a small proportion, both in terms of attempts and size of investments. It was the early 21st cent...

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. As it has no accent and cuts the sentence in weird places, we have to track what it said while listening to the voice. 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...
