Listen feature
When you click the listen button, this feature opens the player and begins reading the page content aloud. At the same time, the text being read is highlighted, which helps improve comprehension.
With the settings, you can adjust the listen feature to suit your preferences. You can modify the reading speed and the way the text is highlighted, either by word or sentence.
If it is not possible to read the entire page aloud, such as on the homepage, you can always select specific text to listen to certain parts of the page. Additionally, you can choose to have the page scroll automatically to follow the highlighted text.
