Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
届く is intransitive: the thing arriving takes が. 届ける is transitive: the thing delivered takes を. A 届 can also name a written notification, as in 変更届.
