Once your file is uploaded and ready to read and listen to, let's go over the reading features available for uploaded documents, images, and webpages.
​
Toolbar options will differ if you're reading from an uploaded file (eg. pdf) or if you're reading from uploaded text (text you've typed or pasted in directly to the app).

The toolbar will appear after uploading the file.

Closed Captions

Follow along with the reading using the Closed Captions along the bottom of your screen

  1. Upload the file you wish to listen to or open the file from your Library

  2. Tap Play to listen to the uploaded file

  3. Tap to toggle Closed Captions

Zoom

Uploaded documents preserve the original document formatting. This means that unlike when you type to paste in text, the document and font cannot be altered or edited. Instead, you can zoom in/out or refit the document to the page.

  1. Upload the file you wish to listen to or open the file from your Library

  2. Tap Zoom

  3. Tap to increase or decrease the zoom or to fit the document by width or page

Search

Use the search function to find and navigate to specific text in your document.

  1. Upload the file you wish to listen to or open the file from your Library

  2. Tap Search

  3. Type or paste the text

Adding Bookmarks to a Document

  1. Upload the file you wish to listen to or open the file from your Library

  2. Tap Play to being listening to the document

  3. Tap Reading List

  4. Tap Add Bookmark

  5. The sentence currently being read aloud will be added to the Reading List as a bookmark


    ​

Opening Bookmarks in a Document

Begin reading and listening from a saved bookmark.

  1. Tap Library from the side menu

  2. Select the document from your Library list

  3. Tap Reading List

  4. Tap All Bookmarks to view a list of saved bookmarks for the document

  5. Select a bookmark to open to that sentence in the document

  6. Tap Play to resume reading

Tips: Documents opened from your Library will open automatically to where you had left off last time.

Be sure to open the document from your Library to access its saved bookmarks. The app does not recognize when you upload the same document multiple times so your saved bookmarks will not appear if you re-upload instead of opening it from the Library.
