In the hectic modern life, our eyes are often tired of reading a lot of words on the screen. However, now there's an easy way to free your eyes, and that's to have your phone read those words aloud automatically. Taking Huawei mobile phones as an example, we can achieve this function with the help of the "Smart Life" app.
First, you need to open the "Smart Life" app. This app is developed in-house by Huawei and aims to provide users with an intelligent home life experience. On the app's main screen, you'll see a "+" symbol, which is the entry point for creating a new scene.
After clicking on the "+", a window will pop up with the option to create a new scene. In this window, you can give the new scene a name, such as "Auto-Read". The name is intuitive and gives you an idea of what the scene is for.
Next, you'll need to set the trigger conditions for this scene. Since our goal is to have the phone automatically read the text on the screen, we can choose the trigger "Tap manually". This way, whenever you need to read aloud automatically, you can start it with just one click.
After setting the trigger conditions, click the "Add Task" button. In the task list, select the Voice Skills task. This task is used to set up voice commands so that the voice assistant can recognize and execute them.
In the editing interface of the voice skill, you need to enter a command so that the voice assistant can recognize and execute it. Here, you can type "read" so that when the voice assistant is triggered, it will automatically read the text on the current screen.
Finally, don't forget to click the " " button in the top right corner to save the task. In this way, the function of "automatic reading aloud" is set up.
In the future, when you need to read a lot of text, just pull down the screen and you will see the shortcut card of "Read Aloud". Tap on it to trigger the task of automatic reading. You can also use the control window to pause, fast forward, or close the current voice task, which is very convenient.
It is worth noting that the "Smart Life" app is not limited to mobile phone users of Huawei's HarmonyOS system. As long as it is a device that supports the HarmonyOS system, such as Huawei's smart home devices, etc., you can set up and use the "automatic reading" function through this app.
In addition, in addition to Huawei's "Smart Life" app, there are some third-party apps that can also implement similar functions. These apps often have richer customization options and voice libraries to meet the needs of different users. However, no matter what kind of application or system you use, you need to ensure that it has legal authorizations and licenses to avoid infringing intellectual property rights or violating relevant laws and regulations.
In short, the "Auto Read Aloud" feature is a very useful tool, especially for those who often need to read a lot of text. With simple setup and operation, you can easily convert these words into speech form and let your eyes rest. While enjoying the convenience brought by technology, don't forget to arrange your work and rest time reasonably to protect your eyes and health.
