A practical reading method
Use Text-to-Speech Without Losing Paragraph Context
Record the nearest heading and first few verified words of the current paragraph. Add the page or location supplied by the edition when available. Save one active question and test the return route before ending the session.
Use this when text-to-speech navigation exposes sentence audio but weak visual location. Audio can preserve content while hiding document structure. Three structural anchors make pauses and returns reliable.
