EXPLORING TEXT TO SPEECH ON APPLE DEVICES

Text to Speech is a valuable tool that improves accessibility and offers various advantages to users. Activating Text to Speech on your Apple device is a simple process, regardless of whether you're using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

TTS tools are particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with reading or have dyslexia. However, anyone can benefit from this technology to enhance their interaction with digital content.

To utilize Text to Speech on Apple devices, simply select the text you want to convert and activate the TTS app. The process takes just a few seconds and provides an audio rendition of the selected text.

 

ENABLING TEXT TO SPEECH ON IPHONE AND IPAD

To enable Text to Speech on your Apple device, go to Settings, then navigate to Accessibility and select Spoken Content. Here, you can customize the app's settings according to your preferences.

You will find several options, such as Speak Selection, which allows your iPhone, iPad, or even Apple Watch to read aloud the highlighted text. You can also choose to have your device read the entire screen, highlight words or sentences, and select from a variety of voices and dialects. Additionally, iOS devices offer the ability to choose pronunciation for specific words.

For macOS users, the settings are located in the same place: Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility > Spoken Content.
