    How to set up your iPhone to read text aloud

    An extremely helpful function since iOS 16 was released is the option to have text read aloud. This opens up numerous use cases. You can have PDF content or entire pages read aloud if you like. As mentioned, the function has been available since iOS 16 and is located in the accessibility features under "Spoken Content". To access the speech functions for accessibility, you must first enter the "Settings" on your iPhone. Here's how to locate the function:

    1. Launch Settings on your iPhone.
    2. Navigate to the Accessibility settings.
    3. Activate the Spoken Content slider button.

    This will take you to the settings for the text-to-speech features, including Speak Selection, Speak Screen, and Typing Feedback. Enable the Speak Selection and/or Speak Screen options, depending on your preference.
