# Have posts and files read aloud

In this article, we will go over how to have posts on the bulletin board and files in the app read aloud. Posts and files can be read aloud in Danish as well as other selected languages.

**Note: This requires the user to have a Knowledge & Communication license.**

- [Have a file read aloud](https://help.inspectly.com/en/have-posts-and-files-read-aloud#create3)

 

### **Overview of the feature**

Text can be read aloud in any language worldwide, and we've made it user-friendly by ensuring that once a user selects a language, it is downloaded to the app for future use. This also means it will work offline as long as the file itself is available offline.

The "Read Aloud" feature works on the bulletin board, Knowledge Alerts, and all PDF files located in Global Files or project-specific files within the app.

We use Google Translate for translations, so we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

**Note:** A Knowledge & Communication license is required to use the "Read Aloud" feature.
