Listening to the guide

On a paid pass

Listening to the guide — on a laptop

Most guides are narrated chapter by chapter. Narration comes with a paid pass. On the trial you see a small locked Audio pill instead of the player; the guide itself stays fully readable.

The player sits along the bottom of the reader. Left to right: Previous chapter, Rewind 15 seconds, Play, Skip ahead 15 seconds, Next chapter, and a scrubber you can drag. On a narrow phone only rewind and play stay on the bar.

  • Playback speed — 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75× or 2×. Remembered per exam.
  • Sleep timer — 5 to 60 minutes, or End of chapter, or Off. A timed one fades the volume out over the last few seconds. This control is on laptops and tablets; phones do not have it.
  • Hide audio player collapses the bar to a small Audio pill. Playback carries on while it is hidden — tap the pill to bring the bar back.

Where you left off. Your position is remembered per chapter and rewinds a few seconds when you come back, so you never rejoin mid-word. Playback survives moving between chapters.

With the screen off. Audio keeps playing when you switch apps or lock your phone, and your lock screen and headphone buttons control it.

Not every exam and not every chapter is narrated. Where narration exists the player is there; where it does not, the bar says "no narration yet" for that chapter and the guide is unaffected.

Offline. Chapter audio is included when you download a guide — for paid learners, since narration is a paid feature. If some of it could not be saved, the download row tells you and you can try again online.

If nothing plays, see "Audio won't play".
