Reads
Audacity Pro Feature
Do you miss out on important or interesting knowledge because you don’t have time to read something when you first notice it? And then, well, life happens and you end up forgetting it, only remembering you missed it during a conversation where it might have come in handy.
Since Audacity is meant not only to make your life easier but also more efficient, we created a feature that allows you to save documents, news feeds, and articles to read later.
What does it do?
With Audacity Pro you can bookmark unlimited articles, feeds, pages, etc. and read them later. When you bookmark a webpage, the app will automatically generate a PDF and save it on the Feeds and Reads section in the app. You can find this section on iPad by tapping Feeds & Reads at the bottom of the screen. On iPhone, access it by tapping the Bookmark icon at the bottom of the screen. Users can then choose whether to read the bookmarked page offline, or access it online via the link provided at the bottom of the PDF to read it in its original format.
How does it work?
On your iPhone/iPad
1. Find a page you would like to save to read later
2. When on the desired page, click the share icon at the right of the website bar

Note: Alternatively to points 2 and 3 above, you can also copy the link and paste it directly on the Audacity app on your Today’s view as a task
