PAM – a helpful companion for your LingoCradle files

Skip info & start PAM

The PDF & Audio Manager (PAM) was created to bring your locally stored LingoCradle PDF and audio files together in one place — making your learning experience smoother, easier, and more focused. It runs directly in your browser and requires no installation.

PAM is a free companion tool (a web application), not part of our paid products and not required to use them. All PDFs and audio files can of course still be used independently at any time with the standard programs on your device.

What PAM offers

  • View your PDF and control the audio in one place
  • Fine-tune the audio playback speed to your preference
  • Let the text scroll automatically as you listen
  • Hide either the source or target language for focused practice
  • Search the full text and jump directly to every matching spot
  • Jump straight to the chapters you want to practise

How to use it

  1. Select the desired PDF file from your locally stored SentencePower or ConvoPower folder.
  2. Then choose one or more audio files: for bilingual audio, select files from Set A; for target-language-only audio, select files from Set B.
  3. On small screens (e.g., smartphones), tap the toggle button to reveal the PDF and audio controls.
  4. Once everything is loaded, start playback and use the controls to read, listen, and navigate through the content as you prefer.

Notes

PAM works in modern browsers with JavaScript enabled. It is offered as a free extra and used at your own responsibility. Compatibility may vary depending on your device, operating system, and browser.

For displaying PDF files, PAM uses a small open‑source viewer (pdf.js) that allows your browser to show PDF pages without installing any extra software. The viewer is loaded once from external servers (CDNs) when you start PAM.

Your PDF and audio files always stay on your device, are processed locally in your browser, and are not uploaded to any server.
