Any number of media files can be inserted in a page. Media files can be linked to a button, to an image or to a portion of text. The user needs to press the button, click on the image or click on the text to listen to the audio (or to watch video). The default label on the button is "Click to Listen". When the pointer is set on the image or on the text, the label appears as a tip text. Text labels can be changed. There are three options for the insertion of a media file into the text.
