Purpose of the Feature
In the field, there are situations where "reading a Manual" itself can be a barrier.
- Reading text is a burden. Some prefer to listen while working with their hands rather than following text 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 and they have no time to turn pages.
Even in these situations, the read-aloud feature allows users to make use of Manuals.
Feature Details
Read Aloud
The AI voice reads aloud 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 read-aloud will start 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 audio starts playing partway through after the subtitle read-aloud, please set the video audio to mute.
