rcdeacon Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 A friend just purchased Accordance which he uses primarily on a iPhone. He asked me if Accordance would read texts since he uses another app to read text when he drives. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Buck Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Currently the iOS app does not have any text-to-speech capability. It's on the list though. Until then… Wait, I have official capacity. Don't. Don't do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I dont think so and its been asked for previously. There is the audio versions of the greek nt and hebrew bibles available in accordance which play on the iphone but are quite large files. For an english translation, i ended up buying the david suchet version of the niv on cd and ripped that to iTunes for ipad and iphone, though there are other versions available and another bible translation software app has the additional function that plays back many translations.

Joel Brown Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 We actually added support for text to speech a bit ago, but it seems this was temporarily broken in v3.0. We’ll try to get this fixed ASAP! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdeacon Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Thank you Joel and all the others for chiming in. I will pass the info along and wait for the fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Buck Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Bob, Speak Screen is currently the iOS accessibility element we use to speak the screen text. You can enable it in Settings->General->Accessibility->Speech->Speak Screen. Then, a two-finger swipe down from the top of the screen will enable the system to speak the text displayed on screen. I'm noticing a strange scroll issue with v3.0.1 that will need to get fixed, but the functionality of the text-to-speech is still there. Hope that helps you and your friend.

Michael Hunt Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I'm not seeing 3.0.1 in the app store. Is it still in beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
