Book narration repeats text: how to find the cause
If book narration repeats text, first compare the passage with the exact file you uploaded. Then check whether playback returned to an earlier position after a chapter change or a switch between devices. Hearing a passage twice does not establish the cause: the source may contain duplicates, or the repetition may occur only during playback.
Identify where the repetition begins and ends
Write down a few words from the beginning and end of the repeated passage, the chapter name and its approximate location in the audio. Note whether you hear one sentence, a full paragraph or several pages again. For example, two adjacent chapters may begin with the same heading while containing different text. Compare the words after the heading as well.
Keep just one book open on one device during this check. This makes it easier to notice whether repetition happens without any additional action.
Examine the file you actually uploaded
Open the source outside TGRadio and search for the phrase you recorded. Read each match together with the surrounding paragraphs. Identical passages at two locations can explain the repetition without assumptions about the voice. A recurring line, quotation or recap may also be intentional.
If you imported a link, compare the available page text with what you heard. A page may include a repeated introduction or wording that differs from another edition of the same book.
Check the order of the book’s parts
When repetition occurs between chapters, inspect their order in the source. EPUB imports follow the spine order and headings in internal HTML files. FB2 imports use top-level sections from the main body. An incorrectly assembled file may contain the same chapter twice, even under different headings.
Inspect and repair that structure outside TGRadio. Changing a file extension will not remove duplicate passages or rearrange chapters. Import the corrected source as a new book.
Separate repetition from a return to an earlier position
Think about what happened immediately beforehand. Did you select another chapter, reopen the book or continue on another device? Your listening position is stored in your profile. To narrow down the cause, listen through the affected passage continuously, without navigating or playing the book elsewhere.
Hearing familiar words after a manual jump is not enough to establish duplicated text. If the same paragraph repeats at the same location during uninterrupted playback, record that observation separately.
Act on what the comparison shows
If the source contains a duplicate, remove it from a copy using an external editor, then upload the corrected book. Do not assume that the old version’s listening position or saved audio will transfer automatically. Changing the voice does not repair duplicated source paragraphs.
If the passage appears once in the file but consistently plays twice, give support the book title, chapter, approximate audio position and a short identifying phrase. Explain whether you were listening online or to a saved section, and what you did before the repetition. These details make the issue easier to reproduce without guessing its cause.
