Mini - can it read text aloud?

If you have a Mac with a keyboard, you can have it read text aloud to you by highlighting a segment of text, and tapping two fingers together. This brings up a contextual menu what dictates text to you.
The iPad Mini doesn't a typical keyboard, and I don't know if the IOS even uses contextual menus. Can the iPad Mini dictate highlighted text aloud? If so, how?
Thanks!

Glad that was helpful.
By the way, now that you know this method, it will probably work similarly for any Apple i-devices you may use in the near future.
Enjoy your iPad.

  • How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname?

    I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
    <p>1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?
    <p>2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.
    (ex. how can I read the 120th line?)
    <p>Please help!
    <p>sorry for the bad english

    I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
    1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
    The hostname is server, not file.
    2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
    (ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is

  • Can't read text file using UTL_FILE

    Hi All,
    how can I read notepad file using UTL_FILE package.I have specified the UTL_FILE_DIR in the init.ora file.My objective is to when a button is clicked, the contents of the file will display in a text item.Here is my code written in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
    DECLARE
         file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
    data_line Varchar2(100);
    BEGIN
         file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('E:\vimal','abc.txt','R');
              message('directory created');
         UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(file_handle, data_line);
         :block2.t1 := data_line;
         UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
    END;

    Why don't you use text_io? Don't forget that UTL_FILE is reading directories from the database point of view. The E drive for the database is a different E then on your client pc. I presume your database is on a different computer. Are you getting any errors?

  • Can't read text in Adobe Reader - any suggestions?

    I've used Adobe Reader for years without any problems, but now when I open a .PDF, I get a grey screen with no visible letters. If I select all, there are words higlighted on the screen, but they aren't visible; the text is there, nothing is wrong with the .PDF, I just can't see the words. What do I need to reset in order to make the words visible again?
    Many thanks,
    Mort Salt

    In the preferences of Adobe Reader enable the view of large images.

    The content of text messages can only be viewed on the devices involved.  The only way a parent or anybody can see the content of a text without the device is via a court order served on Verizon wireless for the text records.

  • Siri can not read text messages

    When asked to "read my texts" Siri will respond with something to the tune of "new text message from ....." then it goes quiet for bit until saying, "would you like to reply or should I read it again". This happens while in my car connected to Bluetooth. I have a Toyota Tacoma.
    Since being able to verbally communicate by text while driving was meant to be one of Siri's killer features, I expected this to work.
    Any ideas?

    You should mark this as solved so that everyone will not look at it and can concentrate on other questions that still need help.

  • Can iPods read text audibly?

    Can I upload a book, article or file etc. that I have on my computor and have my iPod read it like PDA's can (you can even select the voice you want to read it too)? I have stuff so I can record it myself, but I can't stand listening to my own voice all the time! ; )
    If someone could tell me how to make this happen I would be MOST grateful!
    Thanks

    You can't do it directly on the iPod/iPhone, but there are lots of desktop apps for converting text files into audio. Since Macs already have text-to-speech capabilities built in (as Kenichi Watanabe mentioned), some of these programs are pretty simple and cheap... in fact, you could create a basic one yourself with a couple of lines of AppleScript.

  • Why are some websites turning hot pink in Firefox? In IE it's fine. I can't read text and buttons are missing as well as some photos. It's really difficult and I've already checked my Color settings. Help?

    I've recently tried to make the switch to Firefox as we all know IE is unsafe and my computer was almost lost to a virus. However, it's been difficult as I can't log into my e-mail (after thirty seconds I get kicked back to the login page) and some screens come up as a violently pink color with pale blue font. Links disappear and often times the wording is rewritten in Times font over a button. Pictures disappear and simply say where the photo came from (like "Photo courtesy of the AP") I've tried to adjust settings but it's not helping any.

    You can check the default color settings:
    * Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors
    Also make sure that "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" has a check mark.

  • Can't read text in iTunes store since downloading latest version

    Since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, I now have a black background in the iTunes Store window and can't see any of the text - names of albums/tracks etc. The album artwork is fine, but the text is either completely invisible or vaguely appears in a very small, faint, white font when I move the mouse pointer over it. This is only on my ancient PC (XP); my new laptop (with Vista) has no problems with it at all.
    Any suggestions gratefully received!

    This worked for me:
    OK found the issue solution which worked for me. Thanks to Micky on another forum.
    "I checked my graphic settings and found that my system use colour profile provided by monitor's manufacturer. Then I added sRGB profile and set it as default and after that iTunes background in iTunes store was white as it should and all options and text are visible now.
    For Windows: exact procedure may be different on various OS and monitors, but the steps will be similar. Open - My Computer > control panel > display > settings > advanced > color management. Click Add > select sRGB Color Space Profile.icm > Add Select sRGB Color Space Profile > Set as Default Click Apply > OK > OK Your monitor should now display the sRGB color space.
    Had to restart and for good measure I physically turned off the monitor (which I probably haven't done in who knows how long)counted to ten and then turned it back on."

  • HT201361 How do I have the computer read text to me?

    I have an OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 iMac (27-inch, Late 1013)  Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3  Desktop computer
    I am wondering how to have the computer read text aloud.  I'm proofing contract language and was hoping the computer could read text and I could follow on a paper copy to proof.
    Can this iMac do that?

    First you need to enable the setting in System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Text to Speech > "Speak selected text when the key is pressed". You will see that the default key sequence is Option & Escape, which you can change. With the setting enabled, select the document and then press the Option and Esc keys. The Mac should now start speaking the selected document.

  • Reading Texts from Infotype

    Hi,
    How can we read texts from the Infotype. There is this function module HR_ECM_READ_TEXT_INFOTYPE, but we need the Employee Number, Begin date and End Date as inputs.
    I just want to check if a field with a particular value exists or not.
    just like this works to check whether the field DAT35 with value 99991231 exits or not.
    SELECT PERNR FROM PA0035 INTO V_PERNR WHERE DAT35 = '99991231'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    ENDIF.
    the same way for a text, but this text actually gets stored in a structure thats why we cannot use a select for infotype
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    What i am getting from ur explanation is that u are having a probelm in accessing a text field from the infotype, i.e: the value field in included in the infotype table (PA0035) but its text is in another table.
    If this is the problem, u should first use select statement on PA0035 to get the required infotype record. Then use F1 help on the required text field on the infotype screen to get the table and field name. Then u can use select statement on that table by specifying the relavant value field from the previous select in the where clause.
    Hope this hepls

  • Anyway to read texts from the web??

    Can I read text messages without the phone?? Online???

    I believe there are texting apps in Google Play which will allow you to do this if you text thru these apps.
    THIS is an example which appears to do what you want, however I have never tried it.
