Make iPhone Read Aloud On-Screen Text Using Speak Selection
iPhone’s Speak Selection feature lets your iPhone speak and read aloud the text on the screen. So, if you don’t want to strain your eyes or want to multi-task, it’d be a better option to use Speak Selection to make your iOS device do the job for you.
Enable Speak Selection on iPhone
You can also tweak other settings like typing feedback, voices, speaking rate, and pronunciations.
Use Speak Selection to Read Out Text on Screen
Your iPhone will now start reading out the selected text. You can tap the Pause button anytime to stop the speech.
Speak Selection vs. Speak Screen
You might have seen the Speak Screen option in the Settings. It’s very similar to Speak Selection but works slightly differently. Instead of reading aloud the selected or highlighted text, it speaks the entire content on your screen. You can enable it in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Speak Screen. To toggle Speak Screen, use two fingers and swipe down from the top of the iPhone’s screen. The Speak Screen controls will appear, which you can use to make adjustments while your iPhone reads the content on the screen. It can be useful to make your iPhone read out articles, documents, and ebooks for you. You can also ask Siri to read the screen for you. All you need to do is say something like, “Hey Siri, speak screen.”
