Hello

I made epub 3 book.

When page turns it takes 2-3 second to start reading again.

I just want to give 1 second pause before it starts reading.

Please let me know how to do this.

Thanks.

Did you create your epub with media overlays or is the reading being done by a synthetic speech engine? Do you get the same behaviour regardless of which reading system you test on, or is it just on one device?

It's not completely clear to me what you mean, but it doesn't sound like anything you can control. Delays in turning pages and resuming reading does not typically reside in the publication, and is not a "feature" of the reading system you can control so much as a limitation.

Hello,

I created epub with media overlay as fix format. It works great on apple ipad ibook app. When new page come that time it takes time to start reading again.

Here is code from xhtml and smil file, I tried to vary clipBegin and clipEnd thru pre-pause tag but no help .

<p>
<!-- For p01.xtml -->
<span id="pre-pause"></span>
<span id="W1"><strong>one</strong></span>
<span id="W2"><strong>two</strong></span>
<span id="W3">three</span>
</p>

<!-- For p01.smil -->

<par id="pre_pause_p01">
<text src="../p01.xhtml#pre-pause" />
<audio src="../audio/pause.m4a" clipBegin="0.000000s" clipEnd="0.000000s" />
</par>

<par id="w_p01_1">
<text src="../p01.xhtml#W1" />
<audio src="../audio/lyric_all.m4a" clipBegin="6.118106s" clipEnd="6.527358s" />

Thanks.
