You can add a chapter to your audiobook by:

4. providing multiple web page addresses

Other highlighted features:
1. skips advertisements and menus while reading aloud web page content

3. one tap to play multiple news
4. advertisement will be removed when VoiceOver is activated

Hello, I am native Italian-speaking and I have translated many known apps - such as Lire Full text RSS, DiceWorld and Seeing Assistant Home-
I'd like to help you with translation into italian
and:
what about integrating it with:
- iOS file app
- dropbox
- google drive
and then:
what about a possibility to split audiobook in chapters? For example when in a txt book, end of chapters is marked with a particular indication, such as "***"

Not sure if I am doing something wrong but for some reason, when I click play when in an audio book, written by me actually, I only get clasical music, probably from ludvig von betoven. I am aware I wrote that wrong.

Thanks for your feedback.

Normally, the music indicates it tries to download content from the web.

But there is a known bug that when the content is empty, it will play the music without a stop.

As a warm reminder, please tap “Done” button to save the text you have input for your article. If you tap the “Back” button instead, it will cancel and return.

It would be great if AirRead can be localised in Italian! However, due to our limited resources, we may not realise it in a short time, sorry for that.

You can import files to AirRead directly from iCloud or dropbox app. Or you may do it within the AirRead app.

When you import text file, AirRead will detect and split it into chapters. Your suggestion to have custom chapter's delimiter is great! We will consider it in future release.

I wonder if it would be possible to see how long the entire playlist is instead of just the parts of the list.

It is a good idea and we will implement it in the next version. Besides showing the remaining time, we will show the number of articles waiting in the playlist as well. Thank you very much for your suggestion!
