Floating player

While EarsUp reads, a small player sits at the bottom of the page. It shows the heading being read, how far along it is, and the controls.

	Go back one part

1×	Choose the reading speed
	Stop reading and close the player

A "part" is about one or two sentences. Long sections are read in parts so speech does not cut out.

Every control has a tooltip. Point at it to see what it does.

Speed

Click the speed button to open the list: 0.5×, 0.75×, 0.9×, 1×, 1.1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, 2×, 2.5×. You can use the arrow keys and Enter in the list, and Esc closes it.

The speed you choose here is saved. It is the same setting as Voices → Playback → Speed.

Move it

Drag the player anywhere on the page. EarsUp remembers the spot for next time. Double-click the player to put it back at the bottom centre.

Turn it off

If you only want the play buttons, turn off General → Reading → Floating player. You can still pause and stop with the keys.
