An atempt to integrate audio recordings with bible text with syncronizations is achieved by the SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language : see http://www.daisy.org/ ). Some examples of Audio Bibles ( in SMIL2.0 format ) are available at our site http://bible.salterrae.net/kougo/daisy/ ( Japanese audio bibles, with audio/text syncronizations) . > The possibilities for some collaborative venture with CrossWire would have > considerable potential to increase the effectiveness of our expertise in > bringing Biblical text to many platforms. EPUB3 format will contain almost all features of SMIL4. I think that epub3 would be the standard format for the audio books. > It's one of those ideas that needs teams of people with the right skills > and > the time available, to make something of wider appeal (in terms of oral > cultures with some basic literacy level) in bringing the Gospel to the new > generation. > > Yours in Christ's service, > > David Haslam > -- [email protected] _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
