Speech Central, How to know your location in a book?

iOS and iPadOS

Is there anyway I can know my location in a book? In EasyReader, there is option where the location is provided in chapter, level, percentage and page if applicable. If this feature does not exist in Speech Central, please, developer, integrate it in future releases.
Thanks.

Speech Central shows the progress in this places:
- on the item list you have the remaining time and percent read.
- on the lock screen or in the control center of the iOS you have remaining time
- on the player screen you have percent read (on the slider) and on most of the devices (except for iPhone SE variants) you have the remaining time and page progress (the last one on the PDF documents).

Thanks for your response. Another thing is the continuous reading, when I press VO+A VoiceOver on iPadOS continues reading and automatically moves to the next paragraph, on MacOS it stops with the paragraph being read and does not move to the next one. Is there anyway I can get VoiceOver to move on on MacOS without me pressing the right arrow key?

I forgot to mention that on the Mac currently there is no time position in the player interface, that is a good catch and will be resolved in the next generation of the app (as the code is being completely rewritten).

Regarding that specifics, those are specifics on how VoiceOver works on the Mac and iOS. The app's logic is the same (or equivalent), but the operating system is different.
