Starting to listen and choosing where
Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:
- 1Press "Listen" on the dock, or the play button in the library; the document starts reading from the sentence you stopped at. A new document starts from the beginning.
- 2To start somewhere else, tap a sentence on the page. If reading is under way, a "Move reading here? › Move" bar appears at the bottom (if Settings › Reading › "Confirm tap-to-read while playing" is off, it moves right away).
- 3You can also select text and use "Read from here" or "Read aloud" (reads only the selection).
The sentence being read is tinted turquoise on the page; with a cloud voice the word being read is also underlined. The view follows the reading; if you scroll the page by hand while reading, following stops and a "Back to reading position" button appears at the bottom. Meanwhile you can move around the page, mark up and take notes; tap the button, or pause and resume reading, and the view returns to the reading position.
Web (quillo.tr): The same on quillo.tr: when you scroll with the mouse wheel or a finger, the view doesn't jump back to the sentence being read; "Back to reading position" or Play/Pause ties the view to the reading again. PDFs longer than 60 pages open without waiting on first open; while the text is prepared in the background, "Extracting text… 12/650" shows at the top, and listening starts once the text is ready. OCR of scanned pages also runs in the background.
