Abstract: A synchronised soundtrack for an audiobook. The soundtrack has a soundtrack timeline having one or more audio regions that are configured for synchronised playback with corresponding narration regions in the audiobook playback timeline. Each audio region having a position along the soundtrack timeline that is dynamically adjustable to maintain synchronization of the audio regions of the soundtrack with their respective narration regions in the audiobook based on a narration speed variable indicative of the playback narration speed of the audiobook.

Abstract: A method and system for streaming a soundtrack from a server to a remote user device for a reader of electronic media content. The soundtrack is defined by multiple audio regions. Each audio region defined by an audio track for playback in the audio region, a start position in the electronic media content corresponding to where the playback of the audio region is to begin, and a stop position in the electronic media content corresponding to where the playback of the audio region is to cease. The streaming of the soundtrack is based on control data generated by the remote user device.

Abstract: A method of creating, with a hardware system, a synchronised soundtrack for an item of electronic media content in which the playback of the soundtrack is synchronised with the user's reading speed. The method generates a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display comprising a reading display pane displaying at least a portion of the electronic media content in a reading format and a linear progression display pane displaying a linear progression of a range of reading position identifiers corresponding to at least a portion of the electronic media content displayed on the first display pane. User interaction with a GUI of the interface is used to configure audio data for each new audio region of the soundtrack. Both the reading display pane and linear progression display pane are simultaneously updated with graphical representations of the newly configured audio region showing an association between the audio region and the corresponding text region in the electronic media content to which it relates.
