Sleep Timer

My Talking Books gives you the ability to use a sleep timer. Its purpose is to stop the book being read after a time interval that has been requested or at a specific point in the book. A sleep timer can only be set up and started while a book is being read. The following example assumes a book is currently being read.

Say “Lady A, pause. Go to sleep in 15 minutes.”

You may also set a sleep timer at the end of a chapter or part of a book. Say, “Lady A, stop. Go to sleep at the end of this part.”

When reading restarts, it will continue until the end of the current part.

You may also set the default sleep timer to an interval of your choosing. For example, say, “Lady A, set the default sleep timer to 20 minutes.”

To start the default sleep timer while reading say “Lady A, pause. Go to sleep as usual.”

To cancel a sleep timer, just say “Lady A, pause. Cancel timer.”
