Article

An "Article" in TextAloud is the text area on the main window, beneath the panels containing the Title/Voice Fields and Pitch/Speed slider controls.  The speaking functions of TextAloud speak the text loaded in an article.

There are two different ways (or modes) of working with articles: Single-Article Mode and Multi-Article Mode.  In each mode, only one article is visible from the main window.  The difference is that in Single-Article Mode, new articles always replace the current article, meaning there is never more than one article available.  In Multi-Article Mode, articles are kept in a list, and new articles are continually added to the list.

For more details on these modes see Single-Article Mode and Multi-Article Mode.

There are several ways of loading text into an article.  Articles can be loaded via:

• Windows Clipboard
• Document Import (File -> Open)
• Import HotKey
• Drag and Drop

For more details on each of these methods, see Loading Articles.
