1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
one or more machine-readable media including instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
display, on a first device to a first participant, a first user interface for presentation of audio content associated with an electronic document, the first user interface including a navigation tool configured to visually represent a plurality of first selectable indicators associated with a plurality of discrete contextual events in the audio content and a second selectable indicator linked to a second participant, each of the plurality of discrete contextual events corresponding to a portion of the electronic document that is associated with a particular semantic attribute and each of the plurality of first selectable indicators being associated with a respective playback point of the audio content, the respective playback point being associated with a respective discrete contextual event from among the plurality of discrete contextual events;
receive a first user selection of the second selectable indicator;
initiate, in response to at least the first user selection, a first telecommunication session between the first participant and the second participant;
receive a second user selection of a respective selectable indicator from among the plurality of first selectable indicators, the respective selectable indicator being associated with a first discrete contextual event from among the plurality of discrete contextual events; and
