[@dupermang]

[@marceladrobna]

youre lifesaver ♥

[@K9_Queen]

I always KNEW deep down this phone had these smart features. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@qwincyq6412]

This is great! I won’t have to fish around for my reading glasses when trying to see something on the small screen of my phone.

[@brandonsalas6552]

Ty ty ty i be trying to read and drive life safer

[@jimterrinoni6781]

Very helpful. These are options that many of the "I hate auto-correct" people should use. Eliminates mistakes, improves communication - a win-win! Thank you, Gary.

[@donmoemu]

That's awesome Gary! Have you tried using the Back Tap (Settings → Accessibility → Touch ) feature to start reading text?

[@macmost]

I haven't combined them, no. Did you try it?

[@michellederviss1655]

super helpful. thanks. I will be losing my voice after surgery and need a way to communicate . much appreciated.

[@Lotus1111]

I wish you a swift and blessed recovery Michelle🙏🏽❤

[@user-fw7iq3np3w]

It will always be there and mostly in the way

[@sheldonfcarlson]

You can also create a shortcut in assistive touch.

[@Lightcode]

This is exactly what I’m looking how to do. I downloaded an app called actions, but it doesn’t really work. If you see this a year after you posted your original statement lol I would love to hear from you on how you were making it work!

[@patriciabaldivia6002]

How do you remove this it won't stop

[@suerehman5188]

The dragging from Top just makes page keep refreshing can someone help me set my phone so I can highlight it and press “speak auto”

[@Lightcode]

I use this constantly and really like it for Kindle. Do you have any idea how you might implement the actions app to get it to switch for you?

[@macmost]

Not sure what you mean. "implement the actions app?"

[@michaelmedina7308]

"Hey Google, read aloud". #TeamPixel

[@alliecatnz]

Thank you so much. Any ideas how to get it to read a kindle book to me? It only reads to the end of each page and won’t continue reading unless I swipe to the next page.

[@macmost]

That would have to be something enabled in the Kindle app, I would think.

[@habibj]

I turned on the speak control feature just as you’ve demonstrated. However. I don’t have the [X] to hide the speak controller. The hand select tool does not work for me either. Whenever I attempt to use it, instead of reading wherever I direct it, the program starts reading at the top of the document.

[@macmost]

Perhaps using a different version of iOS?

[@theyaghu]

Is this feature available in Mac ? If it is then make a separate video 😍

[@macmost]

Yes, and more. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHaTh5WCr85gq68

[@MylifeisHIS]

How do you change the voice to a different one in ibooks?

[@macmost]

I show how to set the voice in this video.

[@pomme4moi]

A nice feature, but problem is it won’t work for reading Apple Books or Amazon Books out loud. And that’s where I most want to use it!

[@macmost]

You can kinda get it working in Books. Switch to scrolling view, then start a selection, then keep scrolling and moving the end of the selection down. Increase the selection to something large, like a chapter, and then tap the selection and select Speak. Not ideal, but it shows that it isn't completely disabled for Books.

[@4kforlife386]

For me doesn’t work on safari. And I have 12 pro max.

[@KeepPrayingCA]

I also don’t understand why they have the option to adjust the voice /pitch super fast and high pitch voice adjustments Who would ever want to hear a voice like that? it’s stupid.

[@christopher5692]

Why does it only work 40% of the time? It’s so frustrating

[@davidevans4052]

Works well but it won’t let me scroll down with two fingers I get either Lock Screen or the page drags down

[@macmost]

Make sure you start above the top of the screen.

[@davidevans4052]

Worked out from the camera area not screen as such

[@47marwynne]

I want to thank you for this well done video. I have trouble reading articles on the iPhone. Your you teachings help seniors like me. Thanks so much

[@user-ki5ej1uf9n]

What about android phones? 😂

[@v4uevents]

how to delete duplicate contacts.... I have 6500 contacts and more then 2500 contacts is duplicate.....how to remove this duplicate contacts

[@macmost]

There is a Look For Contacts option in the Card menu. Maybe start there?

[@v4uevents]

@@macmost sir plz make a small video on …. Remove duplicate contacts

[@macmost]

@@v4uevents Did you try my suggestion? Other than that, it is just a matter of going through them and cleaning them up. Make sure you know where each contact is located (iCloud, Google, On My Mac, etc) so you don't get confused about that. Then just clean up the mess.

[@lindayoung6388]

You move too fast for somebody to understand
