OK, if you say so, I did not see it working all that well.
Rose Combs [email protected] A picture may be worth a thousand words but it takes up three times the memory! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Teresa Cochran Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2015 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: A Question About Reading Continuously in iBooks in iOS 8.2 Speak screen uses text to speech to read the screen, but not with Voiceover. You could theoetically multitask using Voiceover in other apps while reading a book. I might think that you could do this with Braille only using Voiceover while speak Screen is reading the audio in iBooks, but I haven't tried this. It also allows you to read in iBooks and on web pages with the screen locked. if you get notifications, Speak Screen will continue to read and the book reading won't be interrupted. If you simply swipe down in iBooks, you're using Voiceover to read the book, but if you swipe after touching the status bar, you're reading with Speak Screen.
