Learn how you can turn On Text to Speech Read Aloud on the Android or Samsung Phone with this latest 2022 method.
If you would like to have text read aloud on the phone, then you would have to use a feature called Select to Speak, it will allow you to select the text then the phone will use the Text to speech engine to read out loud text for you. Great if you need to study or simply don't want to read the text yourself.

Oh my god, why is it so hard to find a clear explanation of how to do this? You're a HERO.

[@nellisthegrey]

And why doesn't it just come installed on androids to begin with 🥲

[@mzimasprings3217]

@@nellisthegreySee my instructions thank me later😖

[@mzimasprings3217]

See my instructions above, thanke me later

[@tomhale833]

Agreed!! Very hard to find a clear explanation, Thank You.....

[@D.AGE.]

Nope, it's a scam to steal your information

[@THEWHOLEEYE]

Finally a video that actually show how to use Text-to-Speech. Thank you, this is a great video.

[@ruvikelly5563]

My husband had a stroke. This helped sooo much. He Hayes asking me to read his messages. Now he can just hear them. Ty for this

[@N0sV0sEl3s]

This is not just the only video explaining this. It's also the source of actual clear explanation. Thank you so much, my dude.

[@heidinewell3925]

Thank you, thank you! I almost purchased a Kindle Fire just to get text to speech. Most of the videos for this are from years ago and don't show how to do it on a newer Samsung. You just saved me over $250. I so appreciate this.

[@sankritchandan3682]

Doesn't work for the documents added to Kindle

[@josemanuellastra2488]

The Kindle Fire doesn’t have Text to speech, you might want to get an iPhone or an iPad

[@heidinewell3925]

​@@josemanuellastra2488now why would I go buy any 'i' device if I own a Samsung Android? This video is about how to get it on a Samsung Android.

[@Phil_DeBreeze]

This is the one thing I miss about iPhone. This is too complicated and gets in the way. On iPhone you just highlight text and press speak. Why cant Android do this?

[@Ustrel]

I know right?

[@VioletUpton]

OMG!!! 😂 R U kidding???

[@LauriTaylor21]

Right?!?

[@lordllama7815]

If you hate it so much switch back to iphone 🙄🤷‍♂️😒

[@Phil_DeBreeze]

@@lordllama7815 There's pretty much nothing about iPhone that is better except for this

[@loafbringer]

Thank you for this. Just set this up on my daughters phone , it has helped her so much. Thanks !

[@MNM14ful]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! You're The Man! I have low vision, so I desperately need this feature on my new phone. i spoke to 2 Samsung and neither of them seemed to know about this app. Thank agin for your clear and concise video.

[@heckensteiner4713]

You are a lifesaver! For an accessibility feature, they sure make it as difficult as possible to enable!

[@vampbat]

Thank you. I was almost in tears trying to get this to work. (Using the S Pen to activate the selection box / area is very frustrating. I recommend using your finger on mobile devices instead.)

[@AroojZahid17]

You are good teacher an guide.

[@Anfmethodjor]

I would like an app that reads the full document. No need to turn pages or adjust the screen. But this was very helpful. Thanks 😇 🙏🏾 😊

[@JuggaloNY]

Instead of Select to speak

[@NicholasDraughn]

Thank you so much! This is how instruction videos should be!

[@textdriven]

Amazing so many parts i missed to this feature. I've wanted to know how to do this since my nexus 4

[@bonnitacazares8753]

Thanks again...😅 I got a new phone again, and I needed your video for the 5th time to help set this up. ❤ I can not live without it.

[@Tarotcat562]

Perfect. I can now have my kindle books read out aloud on my android. Thank you 😊

[@laibaamjad1038]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤ study game has become much more easier now ....i can hear the text without having to put strain on my eyes

[@CC12398]

I did not know you could skip backwards and forward thank you so much

[@garysandberg6132]

Thank you this video really helped me understand what to do

[@69396A]

Words cannot represent my thanks to you, i have try many efforts to learn this until I saw your video, thanks😊

[@Wolksby]

Many thanks for a helpful and succinct guide! I have one question. I would like to use it to read out loud a Kindle file/book. It will certainly read any individual page perfectly. As you show, it's also able to select within the page, what you want it to read. I think there is a button >| that takes you to the next page, which is good But, what I'm after is a way to make it continually turn the pages, without any physical intervention from me? I like to use Audible at night, and if I could find a way to make the Text to Speech function in the same fashion, that'd be great! Have you any thoughts? My phone is a Samsung S23 Ultra. Many thanks, in anticipation, Philip (UK)

[@robertbuck7186]

Thank you for this video it saved me from installing an app that I now do not need.

[@Lavadust]

Thank thank thank!! I was having a hard time Figuring it out with my new phone. And all I kept running into. Is that talk speed which was horrible.

Just to the point video Thanks

[@SLCoolJ2K3]

Thank you for this video. It truly was helpful. It pretty much does what I need it to do if I'm in a situation where I can't look at my phone, but need to "read" it. Thanks again.

[@sweetiekjj]

Thank you very much. I don't have some of the things you have though. Don't have the settings button on my select to speech.

[@Itjungles]

Glad it helped

thank you for your knowledge. one question I need the option to read multiple pages that are available without having to restart the app on each page. How do I set the app so that it continuously reads from one page to the next page and so on?

[@sarahbeth1369]

I'm not sure that is an option I've tried everything myself. At least I don't have to read so much now. Lol

[@WinterWind]

It's so annoying. Apple has this as an automatic feature but it's so hard to get Android to do it

So dumb that Google assistant won't just read text. So much more natural speech

Agree, what a pity

Thank you. This helped for my tablet and phone. So wish it would do the same for my computer. I have to touch the down arrow button to continue all the time. Thank YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST.

It doesn't read words on an opened pdf document. Only reads things you gave types or are on the internet

doesn’t work right in my Huawei M5 light tablet, it makes large pauses while reading a long Web article. How do I fix it? Thank you and I keep aware to your reply

[@TheDimshadow007]

Thanks

[@nellisthegrey]

Do we know if there's a way to make it read more than just what's visible on the screen? As in, read an entire note?

[@asadhussain2293]

Yes I want same

[@jdniff6498]

Okay, but is there a way to get it to continue reading the rest of the webpage without having to scroll down? I'm looking for a app that will read my online novels to me without needing to touch my phone. Other apps cost money or have a subscription, I'd be fine if it was a one time payment but I don't have the money for a subscription.

[@lubu523]

How can I do it in a better way? I want to select a text or a tweet and have it read for me. Not this method. Just like when you click on a text and drop down menu shows you an option to translate

[@emranasrafi]

Tnq

[@majidmatariyeh6756]

I don’t have this on installed apps can you help me out with that

[@TheOtherSideoftheLookingGlass]

See in ‘’Accessibility” -> look under “Services” to find “Select to Speak” and switch it on. On my phone, Installed Apps was cut out and Select to Speak was just under Services so maybe it’s the same for your phone.

[@mzimasprings3217]

Thrte id better SIMPLE way At bottom pf any screen press the middle square button for 3 seconds to activate Assistant. Then just say READ ALOUD Try it. Also on some phones above bole nutton there is assistant buyton, and on dome phones pressing power button twice brings on assistant

[@druiz607]

Thanks. Works great for web pages but I was trying to read my Google notes.

[@HRVHackers]

works!

[@jerryzito6840]

I don't want it to read everything can it be set just to read text messages

[@cxa011500]

I turned on text to speech, but when I click the accessibility button it comes up with other options but nothing to start playing text to speech. 😮‍💨

how can I listen pdf file?

[@alaingarcia4756]

I use my Google Assistant to read pages for me

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Which device are you using and what did you do to get it up and running? I have a Huawei MediaPad M5 Light 10 tablet and doesn’t work for me, I ask Google Assistant to read the page but she simply ignores me and searches the Web in stead. I’ve asked on different forums and comment sections but nobody has helped me out. Any idea? So desperate!

[@jefflmoranable]

Is there any way to turn off the green word box? I find it to be very distracting!

[@jonnieallred2718]

I don't see anywhere in this introductory that it will read your text messages out loud. That is what I'm looking for to read my incoming text messages?

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Can’t Google Assistant read you all your messages?
