Listen Mode reads Courses aloud in the Opus Training app, so your team can train hands-free in the language they're most comfortable with.
It's built for accessibility. Trainees who are still building reading confidence, learning in a second language, or moving between tasks can listen instead of read, and complete the same training.
✅ Before you start: Listen Mode is in the Opus Training app.
It appears only when the Trainee's language is one of the 57 languages Listen Mode supports.
How to Turn On Listen Mode
Open any Course in the Opus Training app and switch on the Listen Mode toggle. Opus reads the content aloud in the Trainee's language.
You can turn it on or off in two places:
Course intro screen: the Listen Mode toggle, before you start. Opus reads the Course title and description aloud.
Course header: the speaker icon in the top right corner, while inside a Course.
💡 Stays on: Once a Trainee turns Listen Mode on, it stays on as they move between Courses, until they turn it off or close the app.
What Listen Mode Reads
When Listen Mode is on, Opus reads aloud:
Message prompts
Quiz questions
Response options for multiple choice and true or false questions
Good to know:
Opus generates the voice itself, so it sounds the same on iPhone and Android.
Listen Mode reads text only. It skips images, GIFs and emojis.
Videos don't play automatically while Listen Mode is on. When the Trainee taps play, the reading pauses.
