The passage reader widget reads a text passage sentence-by-sentence using a simulated human voice. Some of the available voices are very realistic. The passage reader highlights each sentence as it’s being read. You can tap or click on a sentence to move the narration to that point in the text. It's great tool for those who are learning to read.
