The audio is a 2 minute, 7 second excerpt from the beginning of the first chapter, with the spoken introduction trimmed. A sentence and word timing map was generated locally with Echogarden 3.3.0 and the matching chapter text. The deployed demo serves the audio, EPUB and precomputed map as static files.
Sentence following uses OperaLibre’s actual ebook reader and remains experimental. The map covers the audio excerpt only. No speech is synthesized and no alignment job runs in your browser or on the hosting account.
