      How do I use text-to-speech in Lumin?

      The read-aloud feature enables users to hear the text from their documents using advanced text-to-speech technology.

      NOTE: Any Lumin premium plans offer a wider variety of voice options, while the read-aloud feature is accessible across all Lumin plans.

        3. Select this option to adjust the reading speed to your preference.

      WARNING: When the read-aloud feature is active, manually scrolling through the document will disable the auto-scroll function.
