auto alignment of transcript and audio?

[Nick Thieberger]

Has anyone had experience of software that takes a textual transcript
and aligns it with the media it transcribes? I know it exists for
major languages but have not seen it working and do not know of the
software. It would be interesting to know how applicable it could be
to the many hours of (handwritten/typed) transcripts of recordings we
have in the PARADISEC collection.

Thanks,

Nick
