1. A system for providing content synchronization information, the system comprising:
- a data store configured to store content information and content synchronization information; and
one or more computer systems in communication with the data store that are configured to;
identify a content match using the content information in the data store by determining that a degree to which text of a first content and audio of a second content correlate indicates that the text of the first content can be synchronously presented with the audio of the second content, wherein the first content is decoupled from the second content;
identify a device to receive the content synchronization information in response to identifying the content match, the content synchronization information comprising information regarding textual positions of the text of the first content to synchronously present with playback positions of the audio the second content, the device storing the first content and the second content, and the device configured to present the first content and the second content synchronously using the content synchronization information; and
cause transmission of the content synchronization information from the data store to the device via a network.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to one or more configured computing systems identifying when decoupled content includes companion content that can be synchronously presented. Once a content match is identified, a device to receive synchronization information can also be identified. The synchronization information can enable one or more devices to synchronously present companion content.

7. A system for providing synchronization information, the system comprising:
-
a data store configured to store synchronization information for synchronously presenting a first content and a second content; and one or more computer systems in communication with the data store that are configured to; identify a content match by determining that a degree to which portions of the first content and portions of the second content correlate indicates that the first content can be synchronously presented with the second content, wherein the first content is decoupled from the second content; identify a device to receive the synchronization information in response to identifying the content match; and cause transmission of the synchronization information from the data store to the device, wherein the synchronization information is used by the device to synchronously present the first content with the second content. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method comprising:
as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific executable instructions, identifying a content match by determining that a degree to which text of a first content and audio of a second content correlate indicates that the text of the first content can be synchronously presented with the audio of the second content, wherein the first content is decoupled from the second content; and obtaining content synchronization information for synchronously presenting textual positions of the text of the first content and playback positions of the audio of the second content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A computer readable, non-transitory storage medium having at least one computer-executable component for providing synchronization information, the at least one computer-executable component comprising:
a content management module configured to; identify a content match indicating that a first content and a second content can be synchronized, wherein the first content and the second content correspond to different versions of the same or similar content associated with a user, and wherein the user obtained access to the first content and the second content via separate transactions; and identify a device associated with the user to receive synchronization information corresponding to the content match in response to identifying the content match, the synchronization information comprising information regarding presentation positions of the first content to synchronously present with presentation positions of the second content. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
