You can now read and play a title at the same time on mobile! Here’s how:
Open the title you’d like to play or read.
You can tap on Read or on the Play icon.
If you tap on the “Play” icon
The audio will start playing, and the text will be displayed too, so you can easily read along.
If you'd like to play the audio without reading along, just tap on the player and drag it to the top of the screen, so the text will be hidden.
If you tap on “Read”
Only the text will open, and you can keep scrolling down the screen to read until the end of the Blink. To bring the player back, just tap anywhere on the screen.
Can I read without the audio playing?
Absolutely! You have the option to select “Read” on the front cover of each Blink to only open the reader.
If you already started listening to a Blink and would like to switch to just reading, you can follow these steps:
Press pause on the player to stop the audio.
Tap anywhere on the text: this will automatically hide the player and open the full-screen reader.
Just tap anywhere on the screen once again if you wish to re-open the player.
