Abstract:
1. A system for synchronizing activity in electronic text-based and audio-based versions of the same information comprising: one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems implementing at least part of a process for synchronizing activity in two or more media versions of the same information, the process for synchronizing activity in two or more media versions of the same information including: creating, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, an electronic text-based version and an audio-based version of the same information; providing, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, a multi-media monitoring, mapping, and synchronization interface; providing, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, a user access to a first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information through the multi-media monitoring, mapping, and synchronization interface; monitoring, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, the user's utilization of the first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information through the multi-media monitoring, mapping, and synchronization interface; obtaining, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, first media version exit location data indicating a location in the first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information where the user stopped utilizing the first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information; mapping, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, the first media version exit location data of the first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information to a corresponding location in a second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information and designating the corresponding location in the second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information a second media version begin location for the second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information; the user accessing, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, the second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information through the multi-media monitoring, mapping, and synchronization interface; and providing, using the one or more microprocessors associated with one or more computing systems, the user access to the second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information at the begin location for the second one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information corresponding to the first media version exit location of the first one of the electronic text-based version or audio-based version of the information.
