## Using Voice
The simplest way to use Voice is to click the 
<span class="kbd" aria-label="inspire me button">Inspire Me!</span>. 
This will bring up a small selection of search results for you to select:

<img aria-label="picture of inspire me button"
  src="/sc-voice/assets/img/inspire-me.png?raw=true" style="height:8em"/>

You can also enter searches of your own, such as <kbd>root of suffering</kbd> and press <kbd>ENTER</kbd>

To find a particular 
<span aria-label="soota">sutta</span> 
such as MN1, enter the 
document ID in the search field. 
Type <kbd>mn1</kbd> press <kbd>ENTER</kbd>.
To find two or more suttas at once, 
separate the sutta references with a comma 
(for example, 
<kbd>an8.71 <span aria-label="comma"> </span><span aria-hidden="true">,</span> mn32 <span aria-label="comma"> </span><span aria-hidden="true">,</span> dn21</kbd>). If you’d like to have some suttas suggested to you click on the 
<kbd>Inspire Me!</kbd> button. You can change the reading voice and other settings via the gear icon on the top right of the app.
