Hi,

I have wondered if this software could also be used to synchronize: text and audio. (for example: an ebook and an audiobook).
If that would be possible it could then be converted to an epub3 format and it would equal a selfmade version of amazons whispersync (Words get highlighted as they are spoken in the audiobook. Perfect for reading along while listening to an audiobook)

best,
gelsas

It's a very cool idea! I think it's a bit out of scope for this project though, unfortunately. The major issue is that the text from a book doesn't have timestamp info attached, the same way video subtitles have. I'll leave this issue open if anyone has any ideas for how to workaround this issue.
