Making an audio file (MP3)

Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:

Where: Reader › More (⋮) › Audio file (MP3); Tools › Audio file; or tell Ai "make this an audio file".

The whole document is read with the selected voice and becomes one audio file; everything shows in the "Audio file (MP3)" window.

  1. 1Open the document and choose the voice you want (full player › voice chip).
  2. 2Tap ⋮ › Audio file (MP3). The window opens right away, showing the percentage, "12 of 40 parts ready" and the time left.
  3. 3You don't have to wait: close the window with "Keep reading". Preparation continues and the chip at the top shows progress; when it's done the window opens by itself. Don't close .
  4. 4When it's ready: Listen (plays in the window), Share (WhatsApp, Drive, Files…) and Open Downloads folder.

Where the file goes: it is saved under the document's name in Downloads › (it shows in the Files app or a music player). It is also kept inside the document: in the same document, ⋮ › Audio file (MP3) shows "Ready" in the menu and reopens the file for free; if Drive is connected it is on your other devices too. "Make again" makes it from scratch.

With a cloud voice the file is MP3; with the device and natural voices it is M4A. Making it with a cloud voice uses your monthly cloud voice minutes; if it stops halfway, "Continue where it stopped" doesn't spend the finished parts again.

Web (quillo.tr): Tools › Audio file or reader ⋮ › Audio file (MP3). In the browser it is always an MP3 made with the Cloud voice. Because the audio is put together in the browser tab, don't close the tab; you can close the window and move around , the chip shows progress, and on phones the screen is kept on. When it's done, "Download MP3" saves the file to your Downloads folder (on iPhone Files › Downloads), and "Share" opens the share menu on phones. If the tab closes, open the document again and press "Continue where it stopped"; finished parts aren't spent again.
iPhone: Reader › ⋯ › Audio file. On iPhone the file is M4A. You can close the window and keep reading; the chip shows progress. When it's done: Listen, Share or Save (to Files); the file is also kept inside the document.
