I adore the audio readout button that you highlighted and am curious if it is something you can opt into as an author?

If the article is meaningful and it catches me after listening I will reread using eyes as well as re-listening.

I've inquired of other authors if they are doing or not doing something to enable the audio play out arrow you highlighted and no one had a clue and I'm curious what you did to make it appear and gratitude for doing so.

I looked it up and you have to have something called TTS - text to speech - enabled but even with that Substack has not fully rolled it out. I would contact Substack.

Substack only communicates by me sending they never reply πŸ™„

What did you do specifically to enable audio play out?

I will greatly appreciate audio versions of your writings as I just cannot keep up with all those important voices I like to follow and support.

I much prefer that the audio is in the author’s own voice - unless that voice is completely unpleasant, which is not so in your case.

I’m too lazy to do that for all. But I have for some. After I cried in the one about my dad I stopped.
