Make Any eBook an Audiobook on iPad or iPhone

[@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.

[@dragonbagle]

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

[@eddievega225]

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

[@carmenjaftha7161]

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

[@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!

[@MilkyWay-ru5fx]

The best guide. Huge improvement to my text comprehension.

[@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 🙌

[@BionicAnimations]

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

[@snatchyourenglishwithlusin7500]

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

[@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.

[@chrisford7351]

Excellent information I tried it and it works!

[@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

[@parry49]

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

[@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

[@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

[@rhodasmith2195]

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

[@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

[@izzul_reza]

Thank you Bro for the explanaation and tip.

[@bobbydoo5780]

Great video my man!

[@alex.d.r0ger]

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

[@YvonneSpirit650]

Will it work on an iPhone 12/2024?

[@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?

[@kksching]

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

[@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.

[@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! 😊

[@Tenten6245]

How do you get it on that long press settings!

[@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.

[@SunFlower-gv8to]

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

[@zailordschannel1719]

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

[@sylviasass316]

can you save the book as an audio file?

[@AngelSamillan]

The goat, thanks!

[@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.

[@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 ?

[@rancidrhino4315]

Thank you so much!

[@kll2179]

This really helpful.

[@fabienvandriessche2388]

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

[@ThePacbaby270]

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

[@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.

[@freedomwithrho]

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

[@LUKASENKYT]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@davidmorrison1222]

I got it to work. Thanks!

[@megas5343]

where did u get the arrow

[@alyssepeek7821]

Where the arrow come from??

[@Dupont550]

How about on my iPhone?

[@seancasey6044]

It works on iPhone as well same apps same settings

[@asiasi3546]

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

[@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.

[@johnjohnson1141]

Thank you very much! 👍👍

[@brendaburden1930]

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

[@elliotpelocileonel2679]

Very good 👍 appreciate.

[@zailordschannel1719]

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

It doesn’t just countinue..:(

[@GeraldLehana]

doesn't continue to next chapter

[@plan4life]

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

[@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

[@khadimrazaeyy2659]

That’s

[@danilotavares77]

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

[@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.

[@bovineox1111]

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