today i'm gonna show you how to make your iPhone talk.
making your iPhone talk can be helpful if you have low vision or if you just don't
always when i have your eyes on the iphone
or if you just wanna make your iphone say funny things
It's real easy to setup.. just go into settings
go down to "accessibility"
select "speak selection"
..and set "speak selection"
to "on"
Now, when you select something on your iphone it will speak to you
select what you want to say
and you'll see up at the top
the normal "copy" and "select all" options and now you have a "speak" option.. Tap on
the speak option
(iphone voice) "my iphone is now talking .. do you see how easy it can be to make your iphone talk?"
now, if you have trouble understanding that or if she's speaking too fast or you don't like
her voice..
you can go back into settings
and you can speed it up
or slow it down
by sliding the "speak rate" slider..So i'm going to slow her down just a little
(iphone) speak selection speaks selected content
and, if you don't like her voice you can change it
you get several different options you can even change the language but even in
english there's a few options.. Lets make her speak in a south african english
dialect
(iphone) "My iphone is now talking"..
(iphone) "do you see how easy it can be to make your iphone talk?"
in addition to the just "speak selection" option
you can turn the "highlight words" option on so that it will highlight each word has
it speaks
(iphone) "My iphone is now talking. Do you see how easy it can be to make your iphone"
(iphone) "talk?" ...
and you also have the "speak auto text only option"..
by turning that on, anytime in auto correction is made
your iphone will say it out loud
(iphone) .."Love" ... "Capitol i"
That can be annoying.. but, it can also be helpful
if you get tired of the speaking you can turn it off
I can turn off my "speak auto-text" here
and go back and just turn off the speak selection option
