How does Amazon's Whispersync for Voice work? (amazon.com)

2 points by michwill ↗ HN
Amazon (+Audible) has made it possible to sync audiobooks with ebooks. 24k of "whispersync-capable" books are now available.

Does anybody know if they do this alignment by hand (during the recording, for example)?

Did many people want to use this feature?

Oops, the question wasn't actually formed as a question, so I ask in the comment.
