Background

In the field, there are situations where "reading a manual" itself can be a barrier.

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

We developed the Speech Synthesis feature so that manuals can be utilized even in these situations.

Feature Details

Speech Synthesis

Content is read aloud in 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 reading 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 distracting that the video's audio starts playing partway through after the subtitle reading, please set the video audio to mute.
