SPEAK SCREEN
Accessing Ability One Accessibility Feature At A Time...
When Speak Screen is turned on, a two-finger swipe from the top of the screen will start a screen reader that will read back everything available on that screen. Similar to Speak Selection feature, but reads the entire screen instead of just a small selection. This is a great feature since it basically turns almost any written content into an audible book of sorts. You can even use it to listen to what you just wrote to see if it makes sense when you hear it aloud. What an amazing application for kids to hear their own writing in order to self-correct or edit.
Speak Screen- Reads entire screen with options to slow down or speed up rate of speech and pause, skip back or skip forward
Speck Selection- Reads text that has been selected/highlighted by user
