Short description. “Karaokes” is a format for mobile devices like iPhone and Blackberries that mixes text, audio and video. On screen a text scrolls down while a specher reads the content. The sentence that is beeing locuted is highlighted. The actual video is generated automatically from regular textbooks using techlologies as XML, TTS and Open Laszlo.

Target audience. karaoke is perfect for those who commute using public transportation and wanted to review the lectures that have readed the day before. Under these circumstances it could be better than a book, difficult to read standing or on a bus; and in front of a simple audio file generated with a TTS tool it shows a visual interface on wich to see pictures and tables and even re-engage in case of lost.
