A storybook may be defined to have a single audio file that plays for the entire time of the storybook. A timing file can be specified for the audio. This behaves in a similar manner to how timing files and audios work with the scripture passages. In portrait mode, as the audio plays, each phrase on the page is highlighted as it is played. Since there is one audio for the entire storybook, once the timing file indicates that the new timing is on the next page, the page is advanced and the first phrase there is highlighted and so on through the storybook. The audio bar at the bottom controls play of the audio in the standard way:
In landscape mode, a slightly opaque subtitle bar displays at the bottom, showing the text of the current phrase. An audio play/pause bar with the progress of the audio and a timing displays if the user single taps on the screen. After about 3 seconds, if the user does not interact with the bar, it hides. If the user pauses the audio, the bar remains on the screen.
If the user scrolls backward or forward, the audio file is positioned to the start of the new page, as indicated by the timing file.
The following is a sample of part of a timing file:
The first two columns are the start and end time of the phrase and the third column is the phrase name, which is the page number followed by the phrase letter. A sample of the html for a storybook page would be:
Configuration for a storybook with a single file. (This also has motion and background audios defined, which will be covered in other issues)

The text is broken up into phrases in the same manner as Scripture text is in ScriptureViewSophria
