Features:
- Create an outline on your Mac or PC, using an outlining program that saves in OPML.
- Save the finished outline into your Dropbox folder. Using Dropbox means new outlines and subsequent edits sync instantly to your iPhone.
- Launch OutlinesOutloud on your iPhone. New files from your Dropbox folder will sync automatically.
- Set any outline-specific preferences. In the Settings pane, select the speech rate, text colors for display, and whether you’d like to hear prefixes before all, some, or none of the rows.
- Select the outline you’d like to listen to. Green vs. gray icons make it easy to see which outlines you’ve listened to and which are new.
- Press PLAY. During playback, you can jump backward and forward, loop sections, display or hide text from any row, and scroll to any part of the outline. Pressing the auto-locator will return you to the row that’s currently speaking.
