I think its seconds for the synch points.

Crude transcript reader example

Add page
Give it a title
Choose your MP3
add some text

then click add nested page (remember you can change these later).

Then add the text, and in milliseconds set the sync point.

add a new nested page for the next point

I think thats the right way

I haven't got any MP3s on this pc to test.

Has anyone produced instructions for using the transcript reader page? I don't see anything
in the Help file, but maybe it doesn't cover the page templates.

The demo (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560) shows stanzas of a poem
highlighed in sync with the mp3. I assume there is only one mp3 file involved because when I
use the Nottingham Templates to experiment, I see a sync button.  I assume you enter  the
number of seconds for the next sub page to be shown.  But I'm not getting it, and I am not
sure how to proceed.

What is the workflow for the transcript reader?  And are there size constraints I should bear
in mind? Should I break the reading up into different mp3 files for easier/faster performance
for the end user?

Thanks.
