you didn't find it near the volume up button on the left side of the phone? ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Turner To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2023 9:47 AM Subject: Re: With VoiceOver enabled, Can anyone locate the Speech Screen controller in iOS 17.2?
Harry, How are you starting speak screen in Kindle? It works in Apple's Books app, but without a status bar, I cannot get speak screen to launch. I turned on the speech controller, and set it to 62% but never found it. Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

Taylor <markthew...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello Gentlemen, There are several reasons why the Speech controller can prove to be most helpful. 1. Even though Siri can read correctly formatted websites, out lout, it cannot read articles from Apple’s own News app. Amazing, eh? So, as I am a big fan of Apple News Plus, and frequently find myself reading long articles while on the move or doing chores, where I may need to easily stop and start Siri playback, engaging the Speech controller allows me playback options similar to those found in BARD Mobile, Libby, and the Audible app. 2. Although I am Alexa’s number one fan when it comes to enjoying Kindle books via the Kindle app for iOS, slowly but surely, Amazon has removed Wired Ear Pods playback functionality from the Alexa app. This is to say, one has to use Voice commands, more and more, in order to engage Alexa. There are many scenarios in which voice commands simply stop working, for example, if iPhone locks or another app grabs focus. Fortunately, the native Apple speech controller works better with the Kindel app for iOS than ever before. So, while certainly not my first choice, if given the option, Siri does a remarkably fine job of reading Kindle books with more wired Ear Pods playback functionality than Alexa has offered in over two years. And the best part? The speech controller now actively causes the Kindle app to turn pages, as it reads, just like my beloved Alexa. So, there you have it, two reasons why I find the native speech controller an essential treat in the Apple orchard.

Good question Sieghard, I thought that was mostly for non-VoiceOver users, or in the case of speak screen, if you wanted to lock the phone while reading something lengthy. But speak screen only requires a two finger swipe down from the status bar... In the past, having both speak selection and speak screen on with VoiceOver caused more distraction than helping. But there must be a specific case where all that is desired. Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

Did you remember to set the size of your speaking bar? I set mine to 52% I found it at the top next to the volume up button on the left side of the phone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.

Hello All, I feel as though I am missing something. Try as I may, I cannot locate the Speech controller in iOS 17.2 when VoiceOver is enabled. Please do the following on your iOS 17.2 device: 1. From the Accessibility Settings area, select, Spoken Content. 2. Enable Speak Selection. 3. Enable Speak Screen. 4. Select Speech Controller and enable, Show Controller. Now, open any app with text or, for that matter, open any dialog box in a list view, such as the settings area and see if you can get the feature to work. There used to be a way to see the speech controls at the top of the screen but, try as I may, I cannot find them. By the way, I have my Spoken Content voice set to Siri. All replies most appreciated.
