How @Voice keeps reading momentum intact
@Voice supports background reading, auto-advance, reading lists, bookmarks, history, and sentence-level controls so it is easier to keep momentum when attention shifts.
What @Voice already supports: Current playback features include background reading, auto-start, auto-advance, repeat each sentence, reading lists, bookmarks, and recent-history support.
A good ADHD-friendly reading workflow
- Send the text, page, or file into @Voice.
- Start playback right away or save it into a list so the next thing is ready when you are.
- Use bookmarks, history, and sentence controls to recover your place quickly after interruptions.
Practical setups for staying engaged
The goal is usually not perfect concentration. It is making it easier to keep moving through material without rebuilding your place every time attention breaks.
- Use background playback so reading can continue while you walk, reset, or switch to a simpler visual task.
- Save material into lists so the next item is already prepared instead of forcing a fresh decision after every article.
- Drop bookmarks when something matters so re-entry is fast after interruptions.
Why it helps when focus comes and goes
- Reduces the number of decisions needed to keep reading.
- Works well when you need audio in the background while walking, commuting, or resetting focus.
- Lets you batch material into queues instead of reopening the same tabs repeatedly.
- Makes it easier to come back after interruptions because history and bookmarks are built in.
