Is there any way to sync audio with text. I have to highlight text "word by word" for audio fil开发者_C百科e. I have no idea on how to begin with this. I have not yet worked on Audio files. Which View (UITextView or UIWebView) should i use to display my text for the implementation of this feature ? I'm building this as an iPad Book reading App. All suggestions are welcome.   - Thanks in advance

There is an open file format LRC which specifies time and lyrics for audio files. You can adopt this format to easily into your application.

Hope this helps.

Try implementing a voice recognition software such as PolitePix OpenEars then as each word is recognized change the color of it in your app. OpenEars will only recognize words specified so it is a great option for children's stories.
