So...I've been playing around with Tobi/Sigil/Notepad. It's been a bit frustrating.

Tobi is great for creating the .smil files and it exports the .epub and audio files nicely. BUT I can't edit either the .xhtml or .smil files directly in Tobi. So, it makes in impossible to adjust text selection based on the narrator's phrasing. Not a problem if I only wanted to do whole paragraph selection - which I don't.

So, export everything, make the adjustments manually and re-import, right? Not exactly. Tobi doesn't re-import the .smil files, so each correction to the .xhtml files means re-doing ALL the audio-to-text.

Is there an easier way? (Right now, I'm looking at manually editing the content.opf file.)
