Travel checklist

  • Book or document downloaded locally.
  • Optional voice installed.
  • Current reading position saved.
  • Charger or enough battery for the trip.
  • Backup copy for important travel or study documents.

Test opening and search

Test audio separately

If you plan to listen, start read-aloud with the screen off before travel.

Keep one simple fallback

A normal Android system voice or a plain local copy of the file can be useful if heavier options fail.

If the first fix does not work
