Read-aloud uses a synthetic Turkish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
A thin object is not necessarily light in weight, and a high-pitched voice is not necessarily loud.
