Need Help Using the Audio Bar?

How to Know a Page Has Audio

There won’t be audio on all the pages. If there is audio on a particular page, you will see what we’ll call the ‘audio bar.’ This is a typical layout so you may be familiar to it from other places on the Internet.

You will see this when there is an audio version available.

Play and Pause

If you’ve watched videos or listened to music online, you may recognize the dark triangle pointing to the right at the beginning of this audio bar.  This is the ‘play’ button. Select it and the audio will start to play. You will see how long it is. Most of them are under 5 minutes.

If you want to pause the audio, choose this symbol. When you do, you’ll see the ‘play’ symbol again.  Every time you choose, you get the previous symbol, so if you choose the symbol 4 times, you will see ‘play’, ‘pause’, ‘play’, ‘pause.’ This is often referred to as ‘toggling.’

Volume

As the audio plays, you will see the symbol of a speaker at the end of the solid bar. Choose it and you can adjust the volume. You will see a solid dot to the left of the speaker symbol. This is called a ‘slider’ because you can slide that dot to the right and left. For full volume, the dot should be all the way on the right. When you slide it to the left, it decreases the volume.

If you choose the speaker again, it will turn to the symbol of a speaker with a slash over it which means the volume has been muted/silenced. Every time you choose the speaker symbol, you’ll toggle between volume and mute.

Download the Audio File

At the very end of the audio bar line you will see 3 dots stacked vertically.  Choose it and you will see the word ‘download’ so choose it. Depending on what device you are using, you’ll be asked where to save it.
