Written steps

  1. 0:00 Select individual words

    AppWriter can highlight text while it is being read aloud. Here we compare highlighting single words with highlighting a full sentence. AppWriter is open, and the text is in Notesblok.

    Open the menu by the ear.

    Under Highlight, choose the middle icon. It is called Word.

    Close the menu by the ear.

    Select a short sentence in the text.

    Click the play button. Follow the blue highlight that moves from word to word.

  2. 0:54 Select whole sentences

    Open the menu by the ear again.

    Choose the icon to the right under Highlight. It is called Sentence.

    Close the menu.

    Select the same sentence again.

    Click the play button. Now the whole sentence is highlighted while it is being read aloud.

  3. 1:36 Try it yourself

    Try both views with your own text. Choose Word if you want to follow one word at a time, or Sentence if you can follow a whole sentence better.

    You can switch between Word and Sentence and explain which selection helps you follow the reading aloud.
