LingoCradle's PDF & Audio Manager was created out of the desire to bring our PDF documents and audio files together in one interface – making learning even easier and more organized.
The PDF & Audio Manager runs directly in your browser and requires no installation. It is a free companion tool (a web application), not part of our paid products and not required for their use. Our PDFs and audio files can of course also be used independently at any time with the standard programs of your operating system.
Extras you might like:
• PDF and audio control in one interface
• Adjust playback speed individually
• Auto-scroll function
• Hide source or target text
• Search the full text and jump directly to every matching spot
• Chapter (bookmarks) directly selectable
• and more practical functions …
How to use:
1. Select the desired PDF file in the locally stored SentencePower or ConvoPower folder.
2. Then select one or more audio files: for bilingual audios, the files from Set A, for audios only in the target language, the files from Set B.
3. On small displays (e.g., a smartphone), you need to tap the toggle button so that PDF and audio control become visible.

Modern format, commonly used; can also store images.
