How to Use a Generic Recitable Note
With a Generic Recitable Note, you can create notes that others can "read" or recite. A recitable note enables you to display or read the text of the note one line at a time rather than all at once in one big chunk of text. In order to "recite" the note line by line, however, you need to be "holding" the note. You need to "get" or "take" the note into your possession first before reciting it.
