Pause button in Speak out instead of Automatic

I am loving the speak out feature, especially for reviewing passages I already know or getting the passage down better as I’m becoming familiar with it.

But I find the autopause feature very annoying. I wish this could be turned off. I would prefer a button to be able to pause. Sometimes, as I’m having trouble thinking of the next part and it would be nice to be able to pause the listening so I could read out loud the part that’s already showing so it can help trigger the next words in my mind. Or to be able to press the pause button if I feel I need a break to think. Having it as automatic just interrupts my thinking.

It could be nice as someone else stated above that there was different levels of the speak out. One level where it could give you a letter of the word. But especially for review, I like that it does not show anything. Also, it could be nice to have a button for a hint where it would show you the next word when you do get stuck.

Also, there is a bug with the auto pause. Even when I leave the speak out feature, it keeps coming up every few moments unless I exit the app.

But I’m really loving your app. Keep up the good work.
