A sample text to listen
- So, how can I use this text-to-speech feature?
- If you paste and play a text here,
you can teach or learn how to say it.
Another possible use is doing a voice-over for a video.
Plus, you can explore any word by clicking on it,
and it will be highlighted and added to the vocabulary.
Or you can select a text chunk and work with it in the same way.
- How about its meaning?
- You can type the meaning into the input field at the top of the info about the word/chunk.
By the way, two words have already been added to the vocabulary,
and students can learn them in different vocab modes they will find in the settings.
- Thanks. Is reading by chunks the only way to listen?
- If you want to read more than one chunk at a time,
you can set the Read switch in the settings to read by sentences,
paragraphs or to the end of the text.
- I see. How about dialogues?
Can they be read using two different voices?
- Yeah, if the browser offers several voices for one language,
you just need to set Dialogue voice #2 in Advanced settings.
- Great, thanks.
