Move from source to speech

  1. 01

    Open the sleep timer from the reading options

    Make this check before selecting a final voice or generating a long recording. A clean source makes the later choices easier.

  2. 02

    Choose a duration or end-of-note option

    Keep the meaning intact. Editing a listening copy should make the sequence easier to hear without changing the underlying claim.

  3. 03

    Cancel or replace the timer when plans change

    Listen all the way through the sample. Check the start, the transitions, and the ending before moving on.

Make the next session easier

Give the note a clear title and a consistent tag. Add it to the queue only if it belongs in the next listening session. A short, intentional library is often more useful than a large collection of material you never revisit.
