felolvasója

Felolvasója is the possessive form of the Hungarian noun felolvasó, which denotes a person who reads aloud. A felolvasó can be a lector in a religious service, a performer at a literary reading, or generally anyone who delivers text by speaking it aloud for an audience. The term can also refer to a device or software that reads text aloud, particularly in accessibility contexts; in such cases, felolvasója can describe the specific program or voice.

In grammar, felolovasó takes the third-person possessive suffix -ja/-a, producing felolvasója, meaning “his/her/its reader” or, in broader usage, “the reader of X.” Its exact interpretation depends on the surrounding noun and context. For example, in a compound like az előadás felolvasója, the phrase means “the reader of the performance.”

Contexts in which the term appears include liturgical settings (where a felolvasó proclaims scripture), literary events (public readings), and broadcasting or media work (where a reader or narrator delivers text aloud). In modern technology, felolvasó can also describe a text-to-speech voice or screen reader, though such uses often prefer more explicit compounds like szövegfelolvasó or képernyőfelolvasó.
