Speak Screen comes with every iPhone. Swipe down with two fingers and it reads what's on screen. It's the right tool for a quick look at a short page.
Where Speak Screen fits
- A message, an email or a short web page
- An app with no reading feature of its own
- A one-off listen where you don't need your place later
Where Aloudeo fits
- Long PDFs, papers and books you come back to
- Reading lists of saved articles you want to play one after another
- Pages full of citations, page numbers and links
- Novels where you want the narrator and the characters in different voices
Try them side by side
Open the same PDF with both. Listen to the first page with Speak Screen, then share the PDF to Aloudeo and press play. Listen for the page numbers and the citation brackets.
