๐Ÿ“– Play Source and Translationโ€‹

  • Playback follows the current language view
  • In Source view, it plays the source content; in Translation view, it plays the translation for that language
  • To listen to English/Japanese translations, first use AI Translate to generate and switch to that language, then tap play
  • Source playback language auto-matches your system language; translation playback uses the target language voice settings

  • Pause/Resume playback
  • Skip Back/Forward by segment
  • Speed adjustment (0.5xโ€“2.0x), applied after releasing the slider
  • View the currently spoken text and overall progress
  • The mini player shows current progress and speed, making it easy to glance and enter the control panel

๐Ÿง  Voice Types and Membershipโ€‹

  • Non-members: uses system voice to read the full text with stable experience
  • Members: unlock Advanced Voice, cloud-generated segmented audio that sounds more natural
  • While Advanced Voice is being generated, the panel shows a notice; some segments may temporarily fall back to system voice
  • In the player panel, tap Unlock Advanced Voice or Try Advanced to learn more and upgrade

โ“ FAQโ€‹

FAQ
  • Play button not visible: playback is unavailable until parsing finishes; try again later in Reading View
  • Tap has no response: check network and volume; for very long articles, the first start prepares text and segments
  • Playing source instead of translation: in the translation popup, tap View to switch to the target language, then play
  • Speed not applied: release the speed slider to apply; if it still misbehaves, stop and start playback again

โœ… Tipsโ€‹

Tips
  • Prefer using with Bilingual View: listen while reading both source and translation for better understanding
  • When learning English/Japanese, generate and switch to the translation first, then play, to match target-language listening practice
  • For long articles, be patient during initial segment preparation; adjust to a comfortable speed as you go
