SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RENDERING TEXT SYNCHRONIZED AUDIO
First Claim
1. An execution method in a computer for synchronizing textual content that comprises a sequence of textual units with an audio content that comprises a sequence of sound units, comprising:
- matching each of the sequence of sound units of the audio content with a corresponding textual unit of the sequence of textual units;
determining corresponding time of occurrence for each sound unit in the audio content relative to a time reference;
associating each matched textual unit with a tag that corresponds to the time of occurrence for the sound unit matched with the textual unit.

Abstract
One or more computing devices include software and/or hardware implemented processing units synchronize a textual content with an audio content, where the textual content is made up of a sequence of textual units and the audio content is made up of a sequence of sound units. The system and/or method matches each of the sequence of sound units with a corresponding textual unit. The system and/or method determines a corresponding time of occurrence for each sound unit in the audio content relative to a time reference. Each matched textual unit is then associated with a tag that corresponds to the time of occurrence for the sound unit matched with the textual unit.

10. A system, comprising:
-
an audio content input configured to receive audio content that comprises a sequence of sound units; a textual content input configured to receive textual content that comprises a sequence of textual units; and a synchronizer that synchronizer that synchronizes the textual content with audio content, comprising; a matcher configured to match each of the sequence of sound units of the audio content with a corresponding textual unit of the sequence of textual units; and a timer configured to determine a corresponding time of occurrence for each identified sound unit in the audio content relative to a time reference, wherein each matched textual unit is associated with a tag that corresponds to the time of occurrence for the sound unit matched with the textual unit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of rendering TSA content comprising textual content having a sequence of textual units and audio content having a sequence of sound units, comprising:
-
retrieving the TSA content; retrieving tags associated with the textual units, each said tag corresponding to a time of occurrence of the sound unit in the audio content matching the textual unit; rendering the audio content; and showing the textual unit on a display based on the rendering of the audio content according to the time of occurrence of the sound unit in the audio content matching the textual unit. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
