1. A machine-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a stop position tag that indicates a stop position within first electronic content, the first electronic content having a first sensory type;
identifying a start position within second electronic content using the stop position tag, wherein the second electronic content has a second sensory type that is different than the first sensory type; and
activating a sensory output of an electronic device at the start position of the second electronic content.

Abstract
An electronic device receives a stop position tag that indicates a stop position within first electronic content which is a first sensory type. The electronic device identifies a start position within second electronic content using the stop position tag. The second electronic content is a second sensory type that is different than the first sensory type. In turn, the electronic device executes the second electronic content at the identified start position. In one embodiment, the first sensory type is an auditory sensory type and the second sensory type is an image sensory type.

21. A machine-implemented method comprising:
-
invoking a timer and executing first electronic content, the timer generating time-based audio identifiers that correspond to an amount of time that the first electronic content executes; associating the time-based audio identifiers to time-based audio locations within the first electronic content; translating the first electronic content into text; generating second electronic content using the text; translating the time-based audio identifiers into time-based text identifiers; and associating the time-based text identifiers to time-based text locations within the second electronic content, wherein the time-based text locations correspond with the time-based audio locations.
