Getting to know the reader

Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:

Where: Tap a document in the library.

The top bar is the colour of the background and kept simple: the back arrow on the left, the document name in the middle with the page counter below it ("Page 3 / 40"), and only ⋮ (More) on the right. There are no other buttons; everything is on the dock and in the ⋮ menu.

The Ai orb sits in the right corner of the top bar (tap: chat, press and hold: voice mode). A glass dock floats at the bottom of the page: the mode capsule (Listen · Markup · Notes). While listening, a playback row is added below the dock. When Markup is on, its toolbar sits just above the dock; listening doesn't stop. Tap Markup again to close the toolbar; tapping Listen or Notes also closes it and switches straight to that mode.

A document is prepared the first time it opens ("Opening PDF…", "Reading page 1 / 40…"). On scanned pages the text is recognised on the device; this happens once per document and the result is kept.

The page you stopped at and the sentence you were listening to are remembered for each document; open it again and you continue from there. The sentence being read is highlighted in turquoise, and with a cloud voice the word being read is underlined.

The back arrow and the phone's back button return to where you opened the document from: the same folder if you opened it from a folder, the same search if from a search (see "Back and Home").

Web (quillo.tr): On quillo.tr the top bar has back, the document name and page counter, the Listen · Markup · Notes capsule in the middle on wide screens (headphone and highlighter icons on narrow screens), and on the right Translation, Search, ⋮ and (on wide screens) the night/day button and the Ai orb; on narrow screens those two are in the app's top bar. While listening, the player is a floating bar at the bottom.
iPhone: The same layout: ⋮ and the Ai orb at the top, the glass dock (Listen · Markup · Notes) at the bottom; for now Back returns to the library.
