Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video you spoke clearly, and the most important is being able to follow you as you explained it, which in turn made it easy.
Yes! Thank you for this, you don’t understand how many books I’m going to read now. This is great for when I’m on a run or the car. I do like to highlight things, do I have to pause in order to do that?
Just started using these settings - do you ever have issues with the word highlights dropping random letters or briefly highlighting multiple lines? I have a new iPad Mini 6, I wonder if the resolution is causing issues? Not a dealbreaker, just wondering if others have experienced the same. Thanks for the helpful video! Didn’t know the Siri voices got better the more you used them - great to know! ✨
Yes I have that too sometimes. I think it’s because the cpu do other things at the same time. I quit the other apps and it seems to get better. But I don’t think it’s a dealbreaker either
@@svartling good tip! I’ll try quitting apps. I hear you, though, not a big deal - even when it’s not perfect, it still directs your eye properly, which is the goal!
Thank you very much for sharing this. This is awesome 👏👍 Since you published this, the latest iOS has added a “Speech Controller” directly under “Speech Screen” and that is handy too
This is my friend's second Kindle. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.
This is great! Thanks 😊 my primary language is Spanish. My listening is pretty good, however, I still need to practice since I do homeschool my kid. It helps a lot to identify new words and reinforce the ones I already know ❤❤
Thanks so much for your very instructive video. I have a question though does this function only work on the Apple e-books or will it work on other e-books platform that you could get on an iPhone?
thank you so much for this tip which help me out a lot because as a student we do lots of reading and I hate it. Now with this information it can read out loud to me and I can understand the book better without having to download a app or pay for a application to read for me. Thank you again for the tip I really do appreacated it never knew my phone can do that for FREE.
If you use Apple Books app they sync between your devices on the same Apple account using iCloud. If you activate iCloud sync in the Books app settings then it's totally automatic.
Thx is was easy until I got to the finger swipe my nails💅 made it difficult and I thought I did something wrong. So after 15 mins I tried to swipe with 2 figures with short nails and it work! 🙃
Does this only work on certain apple books? I can't get mine to show text and read along like you explained above. I have done all the steps and double checked this process.
No it works with all books. It works I Apple Books app and in the kindle app. I think you just have to find the right spot where to swipe with two fingers. It’s an Apple feature. Built into iOS itself.
I wish we could change or adjust how the reader pronounces certain words. And with Voice Over being an accessibility feature, you’d think Apple would give it more attention.
@@svartlingI am having a similar problem. While most of the time I enjoy reading along, sometimes I just like to listen, but it stops after every page read on Apple Books and it keeps reading but doesn’t turn the pages in my kindle library. Is there a way to fix that?
Then check out this: Voice Dream Reader for iPhone and iPad has changed how I read and listen to books ruclips.net/video/idS2Q_IB_p0/видео.html Not the same great neural network voices but it do exactly what you want
Thanks for suggestions. I’ll try it. The one thing I want to suggest you while reading 50 books per year is try to find a book “how to read books “. That’s more about understanding than the technics. In this technics there is minimal amount of iterations of reading a book, it’s 3 times minimum to get the idea and include critical thinking. I hope you’ll enjoy this book
@@svartling When I tap the hand icon and then tap a word on a page. It just seems to read the book title and then start at the beginning of that page. That's the results I am getting...?
I explain exactly that in this video. You just have to find the exact right spot where to drag your fingers. Here is one more video that you can watch: How to use Text To Speech in the Kindle App while reading along on your iPhone & iPad ruclips.net/video/Ux8dck6vOfw/видео.html
Thank you however I think I didn’t explain myself correctly, is there any way that you put step by step or how you can actually go to the store and find any book then you see sample, so I did that however only gave the option of listen but not read, ( audiobooks) 🤔
@garaymaye150 what I show is not audiobooks. It’s ebooks that you listen to using text to speech. So just buy ebooks or open ebooks you already own and then do this. I don’t think I will do a video on how to buy ebooks. I have already done two videos showing how I buy ebooks.
Apple Books works fine…thx. I notice it doesn’t work quite as well on Kindle App. Instead of highlighting word by word, it highlights the entire page. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help.
@@briannam1991 so I did the second to last update on my phone and it’s working again. In the info of that update they stated that they did fixes to it.
Well it’s possible to record the speaker on your phone while reading but that will not be so good is my guess. Better to use speech central for that. I have a video on my channel how.
Watch the video. Just click the x (close button on the controls). If you don’t have that you have not done what I show in the video. You have probably turned on voice over or something.
@@svartling I also read a lot and ebook readers are a great boon. As I also read in different languages it was a great to learn from your video that I could listen and read at the same time. Thanks again for sharing this tip
It continues where you left of if you use the controls. So if you tap the play button instead it do that. My recommendation though is to have a larger font so that there is not too much text on one page. And you can pause by tapping with two fingers anywhere on the page and tap again to continue
It’s better to just begin from a specific chapter in the audiobook. This video is not about audiobooks though. It’s about listening to an ebook read aloud using text to speech
@@svartlingthank you i never used audiobooks so i was just curious. that’s good that i can go to specific chapters then via the books app. thank you again

No idea, it doesn't do that for me on my iPhone 13 pro max or iPad Air 4. It pauses for about the time it takes to turn the page. As long as it takes when turning a page physically and that doesn't bother me at all.
Now I can listen to my biochemistry textbook while driving an 18 wheeler down the highway. I really appreciate it, sir.
