Go to an app that you want. In this example, we’ll use the Safari app. Tap and hold on text that you’d like to convert to speech. Tap and drag one of the circles to cover all of the items that you’d like to convert to speech. In the pop up window that appears, tap on Speak.
You will see the words that are converted to speech be highlighted as it’s read.
You can also do something called “speak screen” where the iPad reads aloud everything on the screen. To do that: Go to the screen that you’d like read aloud. Put 2 fingers at the top of the screen and swipe down. Then a media bar appears for you to play, go back, etc. The iPad will read aloud everything on the screen. If the media bar disappears, you can tap on the right arrow to expand it. To close this feature, tap on the X on the media nar.
