Enable automatic reading on iOS
Many of you will think it's silly, but I'm sure many of you will use it more than once. As soon as you get the hang of it, it becomes almost essential to be able to listen to any text that we select. In this iOS tutorial we are going to explain how to activate it.
In addition, it is a very valuable option for people who are blind or visually impaired. They can use this function to read what it says on any website, app, settings .
How to activate automatic reading in iOS and how it works:
To activate this option we must access the SETTINGS/ACCESSIBILITY/READ CONTENT menu and activate the READ SELECTION option.
Read selection on iOS
We can also choose the voice with which we want the selected texts to be read to us, the speed, highlight the words as they are being said (with this the words in the text will be highlighted while the reader reads them) device) and many more functions. We encourage you to investigate, if you want.
How to use iOS reading function:
To use this option we must go to a web page, a book from our iBooks app, a PDF, etc .
We are going to carry out the example from a web page.
Once on the web page that we want, we will select the text that we want to hear. To do this we must hold down a place in the text until the kind of magnifying glass appears.At that moment we will see a word delimited in blue by two blue dots. We stop pressing.
Now two blue dots will appear. We must move these, thus selecting all the text that we want SIRI to read to us.

Once this is done, we must press the "READ" option that appears in the bullet of the selected text. This way we can listen to any text.
We use it a lot when we are walking, or when we want to read a text but we are busy cleaning, shopping
We have to say that the quality of the voiceover is not very good because it seems that a robot is reading, but for what we want this option is very useful.
