Button	What it Does
Play/Pause	Start or stop playback
Skip Back	Jump to the previous scene

Speed	Play faster or slower (0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, 2x)

## Following Along As the audio plays, the current line highlights automatically and the script scrolls to keep it visible. If you scroll manually to look at something else, auto-scroll pauses. Press play again to resume following. ## Picking Up Where You Left Off The app remembers your position. Close it mid-script, come back later, and playback resumes right where you stopped -- even on a different device. ## Keyboard Shortcuts (Web Only)
