Background
In the field, there are situations where simply "reading a manual" can be a barrier.
- Reading text is burdensome — some people prefer to listen while working rather than following along visually.
- Even when translated into their native language, some people find it easier to understand by listening than by reading.
- Their hands are occupied, leaving no room to turn pages.
We developed the audio narration feature so that manuals can be used even in these situations.
Feature Details
Audio Narration
Content is read aloud by an AI voice in the following order: cover → step title → description → custom fields → video subtitles.
Additionally, 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 begins playing partway through after the subtitle narration ends, please set the video audio to mute.
