WorkAudioBook now works with a character by character dictionary look-up--drag finger across desired characters--so it's much easier to use with Japanese now. Check it out. Plus if anyone actually wants to sync subtitles to audio manually (e.g., an audiobook, which wouldn't have .srt file), in the Windows version there are a few functions that make it a pretty quick and fairly painless job, e.g., hotkeys that allow the user to select the phrase up to a punctuation mark.
Also, some people may find StarPlayer useful. It allows users to repeat phrases with the touch of a button, go back one phrase, control the speed (starts sounding pretty robotic at 70% and below, though), control from headset, etc.
WorkAudioBook actually has better phrase by phrase controls, but is still lacking in a speed control, though the author has it on the to do list. Apart from the speed control, the thing that makes StarPlayer so useful for me is that it actually shows just the controls when I have two apps open on the screen (most audio apps I've used don't do that). I have a Note II, which allows apps to share the screen. Thus StarPlayer only uses 1/7 or 1/14 (screen captures) of the screen and allows me to maximizing reading space with JadeReader.
Just curious if anyone knows of any Android apps that actually allow smooth audio playback at lower speeds. (E.g., on Windows VLC is great for smooth playback even at 50% a lot of times.)
