Reading Screen HelpReading Screen Overview
At the heart of Open LORE reading software is the powerful and engaging READING SCREEN. Using Image Sync™ technology, playback tracking proceeds down the page while images are placed on the side and automatically displayed in sequence - minimizing interruption of the reading flow due to in-text images. Powerful tools such as search, table of contents with playback, bookmarks, and interactive dictionary are standard. Playback controls include forward and back buttons, image browsing, text only mode, zoom-in, and zoom-out to adjust font size.
