I’ve seen mentions of the “read aloud” feature, but I do not see anyplace in the reader to have it read an article that I have uploaded. How can I create audio or have an article “read” to listen and read at the same time?
(Not to make comparisons, but one of the best LingQ features these days is that it can generate very good audio of an uploaded text and you can then use keyboard shortcuts to “read” sentence by sentence or read the entire article and it highlights lines as it reads.)
Read about it here: Introducing Read-Aloud - Readlang Blog
The button (if available) is here at the bottom of the page:
Note that the availability of this feature is dependent on your browser and device. So if you don’t see this button it’s likely because your browser does not have voices available for the language of the text you have uploaded. The browser with the best selection of voices seems to be Microsoft Edge (on all platforms except for iOS).
Hmm. That’s strange because I do not see that button, but it will pronounce words that I mark for learning. So I’m not sure what the difference is. And other tools like LR that also use the browser’s built in language processing work. Are there any plans to make this more available?
On flashcards have you considered an option to have the entire sentence read and not just the word to reinforce the word in the context of the sentence?
Also is there a reason that every time I activate the readlang extension on a website I also have to click to enable text to speech?
Sorry for all the questions–I’m trying to get up to speed on Readlang. I’ve used LingQ extensively because I thought Readlang was abandoned and only recently realized the project was active again.
