I feel your pain. Essentially the best tool out there is Tobi, and you need to integrate it into your workflow to get the most of it.

I developed an automated tool where you pass in the text fragments and the audio files, and you get back the SMIL files. Clearly this is integrated in our ebook workflow --- e.g., the text fragments are <span>-marked automatically at word/phrase/paragraph level.

Some CC-licensed examples you can freely download and examine:

Divine Comedy, 7h, ~15K SMIL fragments, Italian: http://www.smuuks.it/index.php/en/pr...f-lino-pertile

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 1h, ~1K SMIL fragments, English: http://www.smuuks.it/index.php/en/pr...enjamin-button

PM if you want to discuss additional (private) details.
