Background

In the field, simply "reading a manual" can itself be a barrier in certain situations.

  • Reading text is burdensome. Some people prefer to listen and work with their hands rather than read with their eyes.
  • Even when translated into their native language, some people find it easier to understand by listening than by reading.
  • Their hands are occupied and they have no time to turn pages.
  • They cannot speak smoothly while recording a video.

We developed the narration feature so that manuals can be used effectively in these kinds of situations.

Feature Details

Narration

Content is read aloud in AI-generated audio in the following order: cover → step title → description → custom fields → video subtitles.

If a video is registered on the cover or a step, video playback and subtitle narration will begin simultaneously after the custom fields are read aloud.
If a video has both subtitles and audio, the video's audio will not play while the subtitles are being read aloud.
If you find it disruptive that the video's audio starts partway through after the subtitle narration ends, please set the video audio to mute.

After narration is complete or the video ends, the system automatically moves to the next step.

Multi-language Support

Supports 26 languages, and reads aloud in the language selected on the slideshow screen.
