## Example

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddTask&Type=TranscriptAlign&TxtFile=C:\data\transcript.txt&CtmFile=C:\misc\speechtext.ctm&Out=AlignedTranscript.ctm&MatchType=words

This action uses port `13000` to instruct IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to compare the transcript `transcript.txt` with the speech-to-text output `speechtext.ctm` to produce an aligned transcript, `AlignedTranscript.ctm`. The action instructs IDOL Speech Server to use the `words` alignment mode.
