The Document-Reading Experience
Your user will see a Listen button next to your online document link. Clicking the Listen button opens ReadSpeaker docReader in a new window or tab with your document ready to be listened to.
A toolbar at the top of the page enables the user to browse and listen to the document. When your user clicks the Play button in the toolbar, the full page will be read section by section in the order defined in the document.
Hovering over a section of text enables users to click to listen to that section. They can also control the layout mode, reading speed, and both text appearance and highlighting.
