Well, I’ve been researching this question and found the answer, so read on to find out what I’ve found on the subject!

Can Apple Books read aloud for you?

Apple books can be read aloud to you if you choose to activate VoiceOver, the built-in screen reader on iOS devices in 2022. Also, with VoiceOver, Siri will be the one you read aloud, so it’s not the same as audiobooks, but it’s a good option if you’re busy.

How do I get Apple Books to read it for me?

If you’ve selected a book with read aloud, all you have to do is click the audio button at the top of the book. Note, however, that not all books have the read aloud feature.

So if you want Apple Books to read aloud for you, you’ll need to turn on VoiceOver by following these steps:

1. Go to Settings on your device
2. Select “Accessibility”
3. Select “Voiceover”
4. Open VoiceOver
5. You can then change the speaking rate to be faster or slower
6. Click “Accessibility” at the top, then double-click the option
7. Select “Accessibility Shortcuts” and double-click it
8. Select “Voiceover”
9. This will give you faster options to turn VoiceOver on and off by triple-clicking the home button or triple-clicking the side button

Can the Apple Books app read aloud?

The Apple Books app can read aloud for you with the Read Aloud feature or the VoiceOver option, depending on whether your book has read aloud feature or not.

For example, find a book that has read aloud enabled, and follow these steps to have the book read aloud:

1. Download the book with read aloud enabled in your library
2. Open a book on an iOS device
3. Click on “Options”
4. Select the “Audio” icon, which is the read aloud function
5. The narrator will then start reading the audiobook

However, please note that only some books have the read aloud feature. So if you don’t see this, your only option is to follow the steps above to turn on the VoiceOver prompt.

Your iPhone can use the VoiceOver option to read books to you.

1. Select “Settings” on your iPhone
2. Select “General”
3. Go to “Accessibility”
4. Select “Speech”
5. Toggle the “Speak Screen” option so that it is on

Plus, once you do that, when you open the book from the top of your iPhone, you can just swipe down and Siri will automatically start reading the book.

Can Apple Books read to you on iPad?

Apple books can be read aloud to you on the iPad just like on the iPhone, and if the book supports read aloud, you can use the VoiceOver feature or the read aloud option.

Can Siri read books from iBooks?

If you don’t want to use the VoiceOver option, you can ask Siri to read a book to you from iBooks, or have Siri read any text you want, by following these steps:

1. Go to “Settings”
2. Click on “General”
3. Select “Accessibility”
