One feature of the iPad many people don’t realize is available to them free of charge is text-to-speech. Once enabled, a woman’s voice reads any text that is viewed on your iPad screen. Now you can easily get information on a website page without reading, or have a book read to you. Follow these instructions to quickly enable and disable the text-to-speech feature as needed.

2. Click “General Settings”
3. Scroll down and click “Accessibility”
4. Click “Tripple Click Home” to turn it on
5. Click “Toggle VoiceOver”
6. Go to a website page or book on your iPad
7. Tap on the first sentence you would like read out loud
8. Then with two fingers, swipe downwards
9. Click the home button 3 times to turn off text-to-speech feature, 3 more times to turn back on
