01:27

it out over here I have the book The

01:34

01:36

chapter 1 if I want a little help

01:39

reading this I can highlight highlight a

01:48

paragraph and push my megaphone up in

01:52

the corner Dorothy lived in the midst of

01:57

the great Kansas prairies with Uncle

01:59

Henry who is a farmer and Aunt Em so you

02:02

can see it pops up an extra window and

02:05

at highlight says it's reading when I

02:08

pushed the square to stop the reading

02:11

you see that I have a

02:12

button where I can start it again

02:16

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great

02:18

Kansas prairies with Uncle Henry Nathan

02:21

was a fighter and Aunt Em who is the

02:23

farmer's wife I can make the bucks

02:25

their house was small for the lumber to

02:27

build a bet I can twist square to stop

02:30

there are some settings available

02:34

there's an auto select on the voice you

02:37

can make the voice read slower or faster

02:40

you can make the pitch lower or higher

02:43

and you can increase or decrease the

02:47

volume if you don't like the yellow

02:50

highlighting as it's reading you can

02:52

turn that off on the voices you'll see

02:55

that it has a language next to the voice

03:00

description that does not mean that the

03:04

voice is going to read in that language

03:06

I'll show you with this google espanol

03:12

notice pretties we thank anime who was

03:19

the founders wife

03:20

so those voices read with an accent from

03:25

the language that you select in English

03:28

it does not translate and that was very

03:31

high pitched so I would lower that one

03:34
