Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing digital media such as comics with associated audio files such as audiobooks. The digital media and audio are provided using a computer-implemented application and a website. The system includes a server with associated databases for digitizing physical copies of comics and other graphical content, and creating audio files by using text to speech and natural language processing and storing digital comics and audiobooks. A media player displays digital comics and an audio player plays out audio files in synchronized manner allowing people to listen to comics without having to read the textual content contained in the digital media file.
