Tobi is a multimedia production tool that enables the creation of DAISY 3 Digital Talking Books and EPUB 3 media overlays.
Tobi is designed to ease the process of synchronizing a text document with human narration, including page numbers, hierarchical table of contents, images, footnotes, etc.
Tobi provides a live recording workflow that is fully-integrated with structured text (i.e. document markup). It can also import external audio clips.
Tobi's zoomable and multilevel waveform editor support selection, delete, insert, cut/copy/paste, playback, punch-in punch-out recording, etc.
This tool enables the creation of verbal and pictorial image descriptions catering to specialized needs of end users.
Tobi offers a basic text editing feature (handy to fix typos). Although basic structure editing is planned for a future release, it is recommended to author text documents as part of a proven XML workflow, and use Tobi for multimedia synchronization only.
