article to reading mode?  Also, presently it does not read devnagri.
Has anyone tried it?  How to share an article from newspaper to it?

Thank you.

[AI] Learning of The Day: Google’s Reading Mode app helps visually impaired people read long-form content

2022-12-19 Thread NAB Delhi Helpline
Google has released a new app called "Reading Mode". It helps people with
visual impairments and dyslexia read the content on the screen. This is
especially helpful for articles, as they can now access the information
with ease.

Reading Mode simplifies the content on the screen, making it easier to
read. It has controls for adjusting contrast, font type, line space and
size, as well as the ability to have the app read out the content and
control the playback speed. Finally, Reading Mode includes a toggle to make
the app highlight the current text being read by the voiceover feature.

The newly released app works on any device running Android 9.0 or above.
Once you install it on your phone, you will have to turn on the toggle for
the app under the Accessibility settings. This allows the app to have a
floating button on the screen all the time, so you can turn any app or
webpage into a more accessible version.
