Read Aloud on by default?

Anastasia M

I've searched the forums and the documentation but would still like to ask - is there a way to have read aloud start by default on the first page of a project, as opposed to the user turning it on? Thank you.

Hello Anastasia, not universally on every format or using default actions at the moment.
BUT...
If you need it in an HTML, XPUB, iOS or Android export, you can achieve this using a Run JavaScript action on a Load event with this code:

XPUB.callAppMethod("StartReadAloud", []);

Thank you Angelo!

is the javaScript limited to Actions that are listed in pubcoder? Is there a way to trigger changes to the app menu? I still have this bug that makes app menu icons not shown on menu. If with Java I could trigger all functions in app - like change volume, "turn pages automatically" on/off would be a blessing 🙂
