Can I hear Double Standard read aloud?
Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Double Standard can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.
Every sentence of Double Standard can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
