In The Great White North Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I recently discovered Whispersync, which highlights words on the Kindle as they are read from the corresponding audiobook. Thinking this would be great for foreign languages, I went to Amazon.de. The "help" feature recognized the word "Whispersync" and had several entries about it but I have not been able to find ANY books that have it. Is there a word for "Whispersync" in German? What am I missing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wow. And in French? I'd love something like this in French for an ipad. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well, after a half hour with the unhelpful Help Chat people at Amazon, I learned that it would still be called "Whispersync for Audio"and he wouldn't completely rule out German books with it, but we couldn't find any. I suspect that Audible doesn't do other languages. I also discovered that you have to buy ebooks through Amazon.com, even though you can buy hard copies, DVDs, etc through Amazon.de Oh well, it was a good idea while it lasted.
