You would think (or at least I thought before I started on this mission) that there would be at least 17 free tools on the Internet for synchronizing text and audio. After all, the idea is pretty basic. But the only ones I was able to uncover were expensive, complicated tools whose documentation did not make it entirely clear, at least to me, that I would be able to do what I wanted to do. And of course the additional sexiness of EXMARaLDA is that the synchronized text w/ audio is just a fringe benefit of the deep XML structure that the tool helps you create.

A very awesome tool. It might even convince me to start using sound files more. No problems whatsoever in FireFox. A very awesome tool. It might even convince me to start using sound files more.
