Actually my goal is to create something kids and their parents can use. Where a child can tell a story (which is recorded). Then the parent can type it in and the child and/or parent can work together to create the "word highlighted when its read" feature for that particular story.
It would be sweet if these time markers could be captured manually from within Etoys, perhaps in one of the sound tools then read by a script that links them to your named text blocks. Audacity can be used for this.
