Audio Reading and Voices ​

Wmb Table can read text aloud when you want to listen to a sermon, a Bible chapter, or a personal document. This page explains the settings in simple words.

What this feature is for ​

Audio reading is useful to:

  • listen to a sermon
  • listen to a Bible chapter
  • listen to a personal document
  • follow the text while it is being read

This is especially important when a sermon does not already have its own audio recording. In that case, the app can read the text for you.

Where to open it ​

  1. Open Settings
  2. Click Audio Reading

If you want something easy:

  1. keep the suggested provider
  2. click Test voice
  3. adjust the speed if needed
  4. go back to your reading

Types of voices available ​

The app can use several families of voices.

System voices ​

These are the voices already installed on your computer.

Sherpa-ONNX TTS ​

It only needs an internet connection.

Choosing a voice ​

The important thing is not the technical name. What matters is:

  • clarity
  • language
  • listening comfort

If you use Edge TTS, the app shows many voices grouped by language.

Auto voice switching ​

The app can automatically choose a voice that matches the language of the document.

This is very useful if you work in more than one language.

Reading controls ​

You can also set:

  • reading speed
  • highlight mode
  • the pause between sentences or paragraphs
  • automatic playback when a document opens

Where it works ​

Read aloud can be used for:

  • sermons
  • Bible chapters
  • personal documents

If a sermon already has real audio, you can use that too.
