You can add a separate narration to each page in your Simplebooklet. Each page stores its own recording independently, so you can narrate all pages, just a few, or only one. **Do my viewers need an account or plugin to hear narration?** No. Narration plays directly in the viewer's browser with no account, download, or plugin required. **Can I have both voice and video narration on the same page?** No. Each page supports one narration at a time — either voice only or video. You can choose the format that best fits your content on a page-by-page basis. ## **Recording Questions** **How long can my narration be?** * **Voice narration** — up to **120 seconds** per page * **Video narration** — up to **60 seconds** per page Uploaded audio and video files may have different limits depending on your plan. **What microphone or camera should I use?** Any microphone or camera connected to your device will work. You can select your preferred device using the **Select Mic** or **Select Mic/Camera** dropdown at the bottom of the narration drawer before you begin recording. | Tip: For the best audio quality, use a headset or external microphone and record in a quiet space. **What browser works best for recording narration?** Simplebooklet narration is supported across modern browsers. We recommend **Google Chrome** for the best recording experience. Whichever browser you use, make sure it has permission to access your microphone and camera when prompted. **What is the Teleprompt and can viewers see it?** The Teleprompt is a personal notes panel inside the narration drawer. You can use it to keep talking points, reminders, or a full script visible while you record. **Only you can see your Teleprompt** — it is never visible to your audience. **Can I redo a recording I'm not happy with?** Yes. After recording, you can click **Redo** to discard the take and record again before saving. Once you click **Save Recording**, the narration is added to the page, but you can always re-record by opening the narration drawer and recording a new version. ## **Uploading Questions** **What file types can I upload for narration?** * **Audio** — MP3 or WAV (automatically sets the page to Voice Only Narration) * **Video** — MP4 recommended (automatically sets the page to Video Narration) The maximum file size for uploads is **10 MB**. | Tip: If your file exceeds 10 MB, try compressing it or trimming the recording before uploading. **Can I replace an uploaded file later?** Yes. Open the **Record** drawer, switch to the **Upload** tab, and select a new file. Your narration will update instantly. ## **Headshot Questions** **What is the headshot feature and where does it appear?** A headshot is an optional photo you can attach to your voice narration. It appears beside the audio playback bar on the page, giving your narration a more personal and professional look. **How do I add or change my headshot?** Open the **Record** drawer, go to the **Voice Only Narration** section, and click the **Headshot** button. You can upload a new photo or choose one from your library. To remove it, click your current headshot and select **Remove**. ## **Guest Narrator Questions** **Can someone else narrate my Simplebooklet?** Yes. Use the **Invite** feature in the Record tab to generate a link you can share with a guest narrator. You control whether they can narrate a single page or your entire booklet. | Note: Your guest narrator does not need a Simplebooklet account to submit a recording. **How do I review and approve a guest narration?** Open the **Record** tab and click **Invite**. Switch to the **Submissions** tab to play, approve, or reject any submitted recordings. Approved narrations become active on the page immediately. **Can I disable the invitation link after sharing it?** Yes. In the **Invite** drawer, click **Disable Link** at any time to prevent the link from being used. ## **Playback & Settings Questions** **Will my narration play automatically for viewers?** By default, narration does not autoplay. You can change this in **Settings** inside the Record tab: * **Autoplay On Page Open** — plays every time the page loads * **Autoplay First View Only** — plays only the first time the viewer opens that page **Can narration automatically advance to the next page?** Yes. Enable **Turn Page On Finish** in narration Settings. When the narration ends, the booklet will automatically flip to the next page. **How do I delete a narration?** In the left-hand toolbar of the Record tab, click **Delete**. Play the recording to confirm it's the correct one, then select **Delete Recording** and confirm when prompted. ## **How Narration Supports the Reader's Journey** Narration touches every stage of the Reader's Journey — from **Awareness** (introducing who you are and what your content covers) to **Attention** (keeping viewers focused) to **Immersion** (building a deeper personal connection) to **Action**(giving your audience the confidence to respond). Well-crafted narration is one of the most effective ways to guide readers from first impression to final decision. **Ready to start narrating?** * [Add Voice Narration to Your Pages](#) * [Add Video Narration to Your Pages](#) * [Upload an Audio or Video File](#) * [Add a Headshot to Your Narration](#) * [Invite a Guest Narrator](#) * [Use the Teleprompt](#)
