You can either turn "voice over" on in settings (General > Accessibility > Voice Over) and you can change the speed there. Alternatively in the newer OS you can simply swipe down from above the top of the screen with two fingers. I've found for some reason I can't change the speed when I do it that second way, even though there are controls for it, and it's a lower quality and reads really fast but I like this method once I'm into a book and know where the story is going. It's nice to zip through the words and to have this feature without your phone in Voice Over mode. <br /><br />You can also set up for the home button to turn voiceover on when you triple tap it. That's what I do because navigating your iPhone with voice over on is a pain. I also lock the orientation so that when I set my phone down next to me it doesn't ever switch to landscape mode because this makes Siri stop reading and say Landscape.Dan Absalonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098793795514654455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934274044361434025.post-56088848436320579292015-07-26T08:18:26.778-07:002015-07-26T08:18:26.778-07:00I do the same thing with Text to Speech but it nev...I do the same thing with Text to Speech but it never occurred to me to have Siri do the reading. Is it simply a matter of opening the book (in a Kindle app for example) and double-tapping to get Siri and telling her to read this book to you?Bria Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429297309871518492noreply@blogger.com
