When a text is presented aurally how are we accessing it?

When a text is presented aurally, we are accessing it through our auditory senses. This means we are listening to the spoken words rather than reading them visually. This can be through various forms such as listening to a person speaking, an audiobook, a podcast, or a voice assistant. It allows for a different kind of engagement with the text as opposed to reading it, as it relies on our ability to interpret and understand spoken language.
