Purpose of This Feature
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 than by 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
Content is read aloud by 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 read-aloud will start simultaneously after the custom fields are read aloud.
If a video has both subtitles and audio, the video audio will not play while the subtitles are being read aloud.
If you find it disruptive that the video audio starts partway through after the subtitles are read aloud, please set the video audio to mute.

Notes
- This feature uses AI.
- The language used for read-aloud depends on the language set in the auto-translation feature as well as the Browser's language settings, among other factors.
Note that language detection is performed for each section that is read aloud.
If you are not using the auto-translation feature, it is recommended to ensure that the original language of the Manual matches the Browser's language settings. - By design, the read-aloud feature is not available in the following cases:
- When viewing a Release Outside Manual without being logged in
- During Draft Preview display
- When displaying a Manual within a task
- When displaying a Manual while In progress in Training (Web Browser / Mobile Browser version)
- When displayed embedded in another site - In the mobile app, in addition to the above, the feature is also not available if the device is offline when the slideshow screen is opened.
