Sound and images

A moiki is not only text. A story can stage images and sound, and you stay in control of what you hear.

Images

A sequence can show an image, before or after its text. Depending on what the author has set, the image comes small or large, and you can often enlarge it with a click.

An image accompanies the text of the sequence.

The background video

A sequence can play in front of a video, in the background behind the text. Depending on what the author has set, the text appears straight away, a few seconds before the end of the video, or only once it is over. In that last case, let the video run. The text and the choices come next.

The author can let you skip it. A button then appears on the video and takes you straight to what follows. When there is none, it is a staging choice. The sequence insists that you see that passage.

Animations

The text of a story can write itself on screen with an effect chosen by the author. Under Settings, the Animations section lets you decide how much of it you keep:

• Automatic follows your device. If it asks for reduced animations, text appears without movement, and a message tells you so.
• Full plays the animations the author planned, whatever your device setting.
• None shows the text all at once.

Your choice is kept on the device. When accessible mode is on, this section disappears: it already removes every animation.

Sound

When a story has sound, you set it from the menu, under Settings.

The sound settings, below the accessibility and animation ones.

There you will find:

• the overall Volume,
• Loops / ambience, those background sounds that carry the reading,
• Effects, the short one-off sounds.

Note

These settings only appear if the story uses sound. A story without audio shows only the Accessibility and Animations parts.

Media credits

A story that borrows images, sounds or videos credits its sources. Two paths lead there: the © icon at the bottom right of the title screen, which flips the card, and the Credits entry of the menu while you read.

Credits are sorted by media type, and they give nothing away. A media you have not come across yet stays marked as not discovered.
