  1. In the Pages pane, click a page that has words in a text box.

This includes text boxes, captions and speech bubbles added to images and can include image descriptions. You may want to start with the text box for the book title on the Front Cover page.

  1. Click PIC Advanced.

Consider these options.

  • The pic Insert Segment Marker button is displayed so where you need to manually insert a segment marker, you can click it.
  • Recording Mode: You can select (pic) By Sentence, and then insert segment markers manually. Alternatively, if you want to record all the sentences in a text box at the same time, select (pic) By Whole Text Box. Then you can adjust timings.

 PIC Import Recording is enabled when By Whole Text Box is selected. Click it to find and import an existing audio file for the current text box.

Then, disable (pic) that feature again to make the other Talking Book Tool controls available again.

Tip

  • Advanced options can selected differently for the different pages in your book.

  • You cannot change the Recording Mode selection, after you have recorded text.

If you need to change it, click Clear to delete the current audio recording.
