[h2]Screen Reader Notes[/h2]
[list]
[*] The screen reader's voice and volume cannot be changed within the game, instructions on how to change it below.
[*] Auto skip cannot be enabled when the screen reader is enabled due to limitation to detecting when the Screen Reader finishes speaking.
[*] Text prints all at once when screen reader is enabled, this is so the screen reader properly reads the text.
[*] NVDA users: We recommend you disable "Speak typed characters" under Keyboard in Settings.
[*] MacOS users: We have observed audio issues on MacBook speakers when dialogue starts and finishes, using headphones are recommended

[h3]How to adjust Screen Reader Volume and Voice[/h3]
[list]

[h3]Linear Navigation Notes[/h3]
[list]
[*] Minimal UI is auto enabled when Linear Navigation is enabled. Keyboard/Controller buttons for Auto Skip, Narrative Log, and Pause all still work.
[*] If Screen Reader is disabled Linear Navigation will skip the selection of labels since they have no interaction without the Screen Reader.
[*] While Linear Navigation is enabled, UI will be revealed automatically without needing to navigate the scene.
