Automating Immersive Reading
Storyteller is an ecosystem of software that automatically aligns ebooks with audiobooks to create immersive reading experiences. The core technology uses a forced alignment algorithm to synchronize text highlighting with narration in EPUB files.
Why it matters
It enhances accessibility and engagement for digital readers by automating the labor-intensive process of audio-text synchronization.
How Storyteller’s forced alignment algorithm works.
All children , except one , grow up . They soon know that they will grow up , and the way Wendy knew was this . One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden , and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother . I suppose she must have looked rather delightful , for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried , ' Oh , why can't you remain like this for ever ! ' This was all that passed between them on the subject , but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up . You always know after you are two . Two is the beginning of the end .
