What you'll hear.
Every word on the slide, read in order. No summary, nothing made up. Here's one slide, and what happens to each part of it.
The phonological loop
- Holds about two seconds of speech
- Rehearsal keeps items active
- Disrupted by speaking aloud
- The title, firstHeadings are kept, so you hear where each slide starts.
- Every bullet pointWord for word, each word lit up on screen as it's read.
- Words in diagramsRead, or passed over if you turn on Skip while listening › Figures.
- PicturesNot described. Yapify reads text; it doesn't guess what a photo shows.
