## Why

Do you prefer a male or a female voice? Do you like to listen to someone with an accent? Again, ReadSpeaker allows you to make these decisions based on your likes and dislikes. Personal preference drives these selections.

## Who

In this case, WHO is easy to define: every learner. Each learner can select the voice they want to hear.

## When

If you have been listening for a long time and want to re-engage with content, try changing voices. Select one voice for one subject and a different voice for another subject. Changing the Reading Voice can help you refocus on your learning.
