  • Here's how I turn any eBook into an audiobook within the Apple Books app. Either purchase a book within the app or upload an eBook into the Apple Books library and follow these directions to make read to you. This works well on both the iPad and iPhone.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      @Frisson391 Před rokem

      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.
