Just double tap the start proofreading button and it will read it out to you using the voice set in audio settings. You are supposed to be able to use the voices from Voice Dream Reader but a bug prevents this from working and will only use the stock iOS voices, both default and enhanced quality

Tip for sending mail using a bluetooth keyboard on iOS

2015-01-26 Thread christopher hallsworth
Hi all, On iOS, it is possible to send mail by pressing command-shift-d on a bluetooth keyboard. I think for PC keyboards this would be windows-shift-d since command is assigned to the windows key. If you are familiar with this command, it is because this is the same command used under OS X too.
