Hi guys. One time I used the speak screen feature and I noticed that it actually treats it as if you were listening to music. That means while it's reading, you can do a two finger double tap to toggle reading. I found this out when I was reading an email on my phone. I was getting tired of Voiceover interrupting itself so I did the speak screen command. I wanted it to stop reading so I tried a two-finger double tap thinking that it would stop reading and it did. But when I tried to dictate a text message with that same command, speak screen starting reading that email again. I had to restart the phone because it wouldn't let me dictate my message because of speak screen.

Have you verified that Kindle isn't working? It isn't for me, but another user tells me it is working well for her, so it would be interesting to see if others get better results than I have.

Right after hearing about this great feature I went to the Kindle app and wrote them requesting nicely that they implement better page scroll in with speak screen. I encourage everyone to do the same. What a nice thing that after all these years of working with the iPhone I can still be surprised by hidden gems like this one.

I use iBooks a lot, and this will come in handy, although I am not a student. It would be really wonderful if it worked with the Kindle app. But I guess you can't have everything.

He was getting frustrated with not having a method to listen to iBooks without locking the screen and without notifications interrupting the book. After I showed him how this was possible using the speak screen feature, he suggested I do an audio presentation about this for others who didn't know about this iOS 8 benefit. A lot of VoiceOver users think that Speak Screen has no benefits for them, but it's a great feature. Here's my demo. https://audioboom.com/boos/2927053-ios-8-s-speak-screen-feature-listen-to-ibooks-with-your-screen-locked-and-more Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
