Make Any eBook an Audiobook on iPad or iPhone

[@dragonbagle]

Only person on KZbin that explains how to read kindle books with sound, thanks.

[@williamlaine2116]

iOS 17.2 has changed enough that I had to flounder a bit to approximate your instructions. I had to press the lower right to bring up Spotlight & press Siri to get the arrow to appear & offer me the chance to choose to have the book read aloud. When I began playing the audio in Apple Books, it stopped after a page or 2. When I press Play again, it reverts to the beginning of the page & repeats. It's not worth using this way.

[@MauiViolinist]

Yes, PLEASE update?!??!

[@eddievega225]

Trying to study for a big promotion exam and this was HUGE. You’re a legend, my man

[@sp317]

I’ve done this with other YT tutorials, but the robotic voice is a no-go for me. Even when I purchase audio books, I’m willing to pay extra for the better reading experience. I’m still grateful for all the great tutorials though.

[@TimeBunny]

Tried this out this evening. I find it does have a tendency to skip sentences here and there (or at least it did on the book I tried this on). But all in all seems pretty good. So I’ll continue to play about with the settings. Thank you for this video. Don’t realise it existed until recently.

[@BionicAnimations]

Brilliant. I never knew I had this setting. Thanks!👍🙏

[@MilkyWay-ru5fx]

The best guide. Huge improvement to my text comprehension.

[@nybor]

Thank you! Ive been trying to find out how to do this for ages! This is a great tutorial and makes it look so simple, thank you!

[@carmenjaftha7161]

Your steps worked perfectly. I followed them, and everything went smoothly. Thank you!

[@chrisford7351]

Excellent information I tried it and it works!

[@floridabrit9572]

I've been searching for Apps for about an hour and then came across your video. You are an absolute superstar. Thank you so much 🙌

[@AndrewBeardsmore-AndyOsira]

it sounds like a well thought out solution but I get "no speakable content found on screen" repeated spoken - do you know how to get around that ? thanks in advance

[@snatchyourenglishwithlusin7500]

you are the best!!!! sharing your knowledge with us was really kind and super helpful.

[@phitsk]

Thx! The only problem for me is, it stops on each chapter 😢. How do I change it to continue on each chapter??

[@arctic108]

Maybe change idle rate from 35 to a higher one ?

[@dheerajreddy4312]

Bro, you made my life easy. Thanks a lot

[@paradoxilia1180]

U just saved my life bro thank you

[@MauiViolinist]

Mahalo from Maui! Question: I'm reading a book in pdf form, on iPad mini 2, version 16.6: Siri keeps beginning on the table of contents page, not the page that I'm on. How to read the page I'm on? and how to bookmark the page to come back to it? and where is the book, I keep having to find it in the message it was dowloaded from? Thanks for a tech dummy! oohhh... now I can't get it to work at all....

[@Dr_Larken]

I have a source where I can pretty much down load any e-books for free but it’s a PDF format and I’ve done everything you said but regardless what are you do I cannot get it to read the book!

[@seddyjuslin3166]

Convert it to epub

[@xvxv711]

Use something called calibre

[@TheJoker-zt4nk]

It can work with PDFs, I just sent a pdf (one I altered, eliminated useless/blank pages) & air dropped it from my MBPro to my iPad... & I'm listening to it now. It maybe something within the PDF? Maybe save as a DUP/Copy & try again?

[@clemislame2585]

just send ur pdf to ebooks

[@soniap2891]

Speak screen used on Apple Books app on my iPhone or iPad only reads the current page and then stops, doesn't continue onto the next page (don't have this problem with Kindle app). Any ideas why this is happening?

[@bobbydoo5780]

Great video my man!

[@rhodasmith2195]

Thank you so much for this video. I tried this on my kindle app and it worked!😊

[@parry49]

Absolutely brilliant thank you so much for this information. This will help me now not have to buy Kindle with an audible narration.

[@kksching]

on the flip side, any tricks to turn an audiobook into an ebook? thanks!

[@izzul_reza]

Thank you Bro for the explanaation and tip.

[@arctic108]

Thank you so much i really need the audiobook to speed up my learning time, it worked even though now im on update 17 something. The only thing like you said the highlighting of the word sometimes it works sometimes it dosnt so far it hasnt, But the most important thing now i can listen to my ebook

[@Tenten6245]

How do you get it on that long press settings!

[@alexcortes8054]

Great tip - thank you

[@aransmitch]

I intend to buy the e-book to read but I'm too lazy to read. .I would like to use the functions you recommend to read to me. Thank you for the good ideas.

[@KhadizahBrown-v7k]

I’m truly grateful for your help with this. But I’m trying to find something that’s free and easy to use in order to read anything to me because a lot of the time I’m unable to set and read so I need something Thank You again

[@LUKASENKYT]

What can we do so the audio never stops ? I have the feeling sometimes it lacks or stops. Is there any tips for us please ?

[@alex.d.r0ger]

You are amazing, thank you for sharing this. I never knew this feature was here genuinely so grateful to you. 🙏

[@sylviasass316]

can you save the book as an audio file?

[@nstevens6985]

I set everything that you had but when I long touch the arrow it says I’m in page mode says title of book and author name, turn pages, page number, place book mark, read from here, menu. How do I select read from here? I’ve tried multiple things with no success.

[@freedomwithrho]

I set it up but the highlight isn’t working for me. I tried everything any suggestions?

[@YvonneSpirit650]

Will it work on an iPhone 12/2024?

[@TheJoker-zt4nk]

TY, This was a Mac thing, since pretty much the beginning of Mac, but didn't know how to set it up on ipad! 😊

[@AngelSamillan]

The goat, thanks!

[@SunFlower-gv8to]

how do I do this with kindle book purchased on Amaz?

[@palomaquinn5281]

For some reason mine does not keep on reading once the page is over, and it does not flick the page automatically either. Any idea what why? Thanks!

[@darrylwillhite7880]

Thank you this was absolutely amazing. I prefer Siri over a lot of narrators of my audiobooks that I have purchased now I can choose. I can buy the cheaper regular books and still listen to them.

[@kll2179]

This really helpful.

[@rancidrhino4315]

Thank you so much!

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Thanks for a methodical demonstration, I'm trying to use the OCR feature on my iPad to read DIY recipes that are images in PDF and not finding solutions. . :(. The files are patterns I've bought and they come as they are, I can't get a different format. Adobe says there is no text in the files to read to me. The one workaround I've found is to take a screenshot of a fipage and then get Photos to read detected text aloud, but gee willikers it should be better than that.

[@ThePacbaby270]

It doesn’t turn the page w/ every reading app 😢. If it did tho…

[@megas5343]

where did u get the arrow

[@bluecherrysakura]

I've seen this work on both kindle and Apple books but does any one know if it works for Libby library borrowed ebooks?

[@alyssepeek7821]

Where the arrow come from??

[@fabienvandriessche2388]

This works perfectly, even in Dutch (Belgian flemish) thanks for the tip👍👍

[@brendaburden1930]

I can't get it to continue to the next page

[@LUKASENKYT]

Dude you legend!!! I literally owe you thousands of dollars. I love you mate

[@Zailord0]

Thank you so much I’ve been struggling forever to figure this out the help function on the Gbooks said use voice over not what your using and it was horrible 😂 thank you

[@davidmorrison1222]

I got it to work. Thanks!

[@toufiqurrahmanabeer9754]

Supppeerrrr helpful!!! 😍😍😍

[@rayrayrun]

I wonder if there is an elegant way like this in pc/macos?

[@ProAttique]

Mac has multiple ways

[@rayrayrun]

@@ProAttique please share you're knowledge

[@ProAttique]

@@rayrayrun will capture a tutorial about it tomorrow. There are few options already available on my channel

[@asiasi3546]

I have kindle , how can i make any pdf to be audible?

[@elliotpelocileonel2679]

Very good 👍 appreciate.

[@Zailord0]

Sad fully it won’t flip the page for me??????😢

[@alyssepeek7821]

It doesn’t just countinue..:(

[@fabienvandriessche2388]

Is there a possibility to change the voices(languages) according to the language of the ebook? I read a lot of dutch Books but also english books

[@Frisson391]

be careful not to use some of the more esoteric voices, I forget which one but some how I accidentally turned him on, and he says ‘I talk like I have a frog in my throat.”. took me over an hour to get it to switch back and he is correct for english, Siri 2 or Siri 4 were best. `more natural. I also heard that the more you use it , there is some ai in the phone of apple, that will actually improve the function and pronunciations will get better. one thing to keep in mind is if you are reading multiple pages or a chapter it tends to lock at the end of each page. There is a way to get it to keep going but it gives an unnatural long pause. If you know of a way to get around this so it will read the entire chapter please update , I can imagine trying to study while driving to work and having to hit or swipe in order for it to continue. but overalll great info on this and wish i had watched it last night would have saved me so much time. At least now I know how to get directly to it on my other devices, way better than trial and error. follow each step like he says.

[@Dupont550]

How about on my iPhone?

[@seancasey6044]

It works on iPhone as well same apps same settings

[@johnjohnson1141]

Thank you very much! 👍👍

[@buzzardbeak27]

Still can’t get it to work

[@dominosnostradamus2415]

I use this on my iPad but my iPad doesn’t recognize certain pdfs

[@jennychong4836]

This doesn’t work properly on iPhone. When I drag two fingers down it will jump to the first page in the chapter or a few pages before the one I selected, and then it will only read the page or a few pages, once that page is done it stops speaking aloud.

[@TheFrazzyo]

hold your fingers off the side off the phone and slide them on... if that makes sense

[@shirliestratton7790]

how do ichange from my current siri voice tositi voice 4

Some help me im very stupid it doesnt work it stop every paragraph

[@plan4life]

“Just long-press the arrow button” what the heck are you talking about? What arrow button?

[@GeraldLehana]

doesn't continue to next chapter

[@mauricegold9377]

I can't understand why no homework was undertaken here to determine that there is no 'little arrow button' on ios 12.5 at least. Why not check first and avoid disappointing viewers.

[@pranavlimaye]

He literally mentions at the beginning that he’s on iOS 15.2

[@davemcdonald8790]

1:19

[@gatocat3336]

Why can’t we see more of the screen. We don’t need to be looking at the speaker all he time, so long as we can hear him. I switched to another video because of this.

[@danilotavares77]

This thing is horrível. It crash more ofende than work.

[@khadimrazaeyy2659]

That’s

[@bovineox1111]

For study and non fiction maybe but audio books that lack the skill of a voice actor…. Nah
