I only wish this feature would also work with Kindle in the locked screen. Pam ________________________________________ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [viphone@googlegroups.com] on behalf of RobH.

So still none the wiser what it is or does. Real writing seems to be a thing of the past, along with common sense and various other courtesies. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane" <juanitatig...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 9:54 PM Subject: Re: Audio Demo of the iOS 8 Speak Screen Feature Hi Jonathan and others, I am positive I was not using VoiceOver to read the screen with the Kindle app. I know this, because my VoiceOver speech rate and speak Screen speech rate are completely different. They were both speaking at the same time without any issues, too; I was just reading along as happy as could be (I can't wait to do it again later!)
