How to Make Your iPhone Read Anything Out Loud
Want to make your iPhone read aloud almost anything on your screen? Here’s how.
Note: To turn on any of the iPhone features described here, open Settings → General → Accessibility.
VoiceOverVoiceOver
is the option that makes the iPhone speak everything you touch — even
the little status gauges at the top of the screen.
On the VoiceOver settings pane, tap the On/Off switch
to turn VoiceOver on. Because VoiceOver radically changes the way you
control your phone, you must dismiss a warning to confirm that you know
what you’re doing. Immediately, you hear a female voice begin reading
the names of the controls she sees on the screen.
You can also adjust the speaking rate of the synthesized voice.
Now you’re ready to start using
the iPhone in VoiceOver mode. There’s a lot to learn, and practice makes
perfect, but here’s the overview:
Tap something to hear it. Tap icons, words, even status icons at the top; as you go, the voice tells you what you’re tapping.
