Speak selection

Hi, im currently using an iPhone 5 16GB and I'm having problems with the selection tool. the main issues are in safari but also appear in other browsers and apps. The first problem is that the selection tool is very buggy, it tends to select all the text (both up and down) when I'm simply trying to select a small section and will sometimes scroll up or down very quickly without me having to hold the selection near the top or bottom edges of the screen. The speak selection speed also seems to be stuck on one speed no matter what i change it to in accessibility's and there has been times where nothing happens when i click on 'speak'. I tend to copy what i need and paste it in notes which which seems to handle selection and speak selection alright. This problem has been off and off but it seems to persist in safari.

Hi Cactusjimm,
When you go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Speech, and you turn on the Speak Selection button, at the bottom of the screen you will see a slider bar with a Turtle on the left and a Rabbit on the right. Slide to the left to slow down the speaking rate.
Cheers,
GB

  • How to change language in speak selection

    Hello!
    Once i bought my fourth gen ipod touch, default voice in "voice over" and "Speak selection" was British Eglish.
    Some day i had to restore my ipod,and i did, after that default language was US English with female voice!
    I found out how to change language in "Voice Over",even found Russian(no necesserity in using it, but its one of my native languages). Still "Speak sellection" was US English.
    When i turn Voice over on, it speaks selection with right language, but it's very hard to operate every time to just hear pronaunciaton of one word(that could be spoken with submenu of "copy,paste,cut,define,speak")
    So i'm wondering,why does changing language of "VoiceOver" not affect speak sellection in normal mode? and how to make it speak different languages?
    Thank You!

    first state:
    "VoiceOver" language:British English (man voice)(i selected it by myself)
    Speak selection ("VoiceOver"assist is ON) : British English.
    State 2:
    VoiceOver language:British English
    Speak selection ("VoiceOver" assist is OFF) : US English (female voice)
    BEFORE restoring "Speak seletion" language was British English by default.
    and i want to know how to make it back.

  • IOS Speak selection Bug

    1)The Speak selection were very useful built in ultility since IOS 5 , however that were massive importment after IOS 7 which able to read miscellangeous languagues without changing devices to certian languge, but bug still present once you write the word in your text message box in selection the word & press speak , the OS able to speak for only first time, mute for second attempt! what i need to do is , quit or reselection again this word & press the speak button again to enable read function again.
    2) i wish speak selection still keep preserve as IOS 7 which allow press the message & more option appear speak , which allow OS help me read the mandarin or others languages rather than copy whole message & paste to message box & press more -> speak. That will be other inconvinience way to make it read message by individually. as i known, IOS 8 add in features which only use both fingers drag from top of time can activicated the speak,read fucntion ,but this only read whole the screen for this message.

  • X-fi fatal1ty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard

    Gx-fi fatalty device not detected when running speaker selection wizard? ?
    System is a custom build, based off an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, with two GTX7800 display cards. in a SLI configuration
    Fresh installation fo Windows XP Profesional with SP3 slipstreamed.
    Origional CD fails to detect the card, claiming a supported device is not present.
    This card has worked prevously, and is verified as fully functional in windows Vista. ?
    Please note Windows Vista can not be used.
    I have tried about 30 different versions of the drivers (each on a clean installation) and used both clean and dirty boots, and nothing is working.
    Before anyone points me at other threads in this forum, please note i have been scouring this forum for the past week trying every sugestion there is, and I have raised a ticket with Creative (who despite the prommise of a 2 day responce, have yet to respond)
    I have tired multiple versions of the NForce drivers, NVidia display drivers, Creative Drivers, Bios updates, Chipset hacks and more.
    does anyone hav a sugestion that is not already posted on this forum.

    Tried it on one of the spare PC's in the house earlier (Nforce 2 based) - still no recognition of the card whatsoever, it's as if it doesn't exist.
    I'm guessing that the card is pretty much toasted eh?

  • How to add languages to Speak Selection on iOS

    Hello,
    I have purchased voice files on my Mac for a company called : assistiveware (http://www.assistiveware.com). Their voices are really good and much better then the native ones on my mac or in iOS. They are available system wide on my mac and I have been enjoying them for all sorts of things (reading pages etc.).
    I would like to know how I can manually add these voices so that they appear in the "Speak selection" menu of my iOS device. Is that even possible? I assume there is some folder somewhere that keeps the voice files for my iOS devices... can I just drop these voice files in there?
    Thanks,

    Excellent app with great language coverage as well.  It even has a free trial via the Lite version. Thanks for posting this!
    Yes, if you want to read material without DRM in different languages with a spoken voice, Voice Dream Reader is a good alternative to using iBooks with VoiceOver's system voices.  The app remembers your location, supports searching for text, bookmarking, and navigation within the file, and can be used for a wide variety of file types.  It does not suffer from the current bug for PDFs where accented latin characters read by the system voices are pronounced without the accent.  This is annoying if you're reading in a language that uses accented characters, and you don't have access to an ePub version of the same book. Voice Dream Reader also a good alternative if you want to read DAISY books with a spoken voice in non-English languages.

  • No internal speaker selection

    My audio has stopped working and I have no internal speaker selection. I've tried resetting PRAM, restarting computer, but nothing works.
    My selections are "Wondershare Audio Device", M-Audio Micro (unsure what this option is) and Airplay.
    I can select Airplay and hear my computer through my TV.
    How can I get the internal speakers as a selection on my sound output again?

    As suggested by BDAqua, there is a micro switch inside the output that might be stuck and that is why there is no sound going to the internal speakers.
    Try plugging and upplugging a 3.5mm mini plug in and out of your Audio Output port a few times, to see if it will reset the micro switch to and return Audio to the Internal Speakers.

  • Why won't "speak selection" accessibility feature work to read iBooks or PDFs?

    I have discovered that in iOS 5 there is a "speak selection" feature that can be turned on in Accessibility.  I like this versus Voice Over for students who need to hear text aloud because it bypasses all the changes of how the iPad works when Voice Over is turned on.  However, it doesn't appear to work with PDFs?  Can anyone help?  Is there an app that will read PDFs aloud?  "Speak selection" is working great in Safari or for e-mails.

    Speak selection for PDFs works in iBooks on iOS 6.1.

  • Changes to speaker selection aren't sa

    When my -year-old son is sleeping I have to use headphones instead of speakers, so I have to be able to switch back and forth between the two. I?have?Logitech 5. speakers with a headphone passthrough, so I use that. The problem is that?if I change the speaker selection in the audio console to headphones, the next time I log into my computer, it gets set back to 5. and the volume setting is maxed. If I have the headphones on, it is likely to deafen me. Also, if I forget to re-set it to headphones, it messes up games that use positional audio because I won't be able to hear sounds in front of or behind me. How do I get the speaker selection to stay on a single setting between user sessions?

    I have had that error before but that was when i was beta testing vista, the bug was "fixed" by creative amazingly. There used to be a problem where you weren't able to choose 5.,Anyway?have you tried going to:Control panel --> system --> device manager --> sound and video or game controllers?, then right clicking your sound card, then uninstalling it if you get the option to remove installed drivers as well then check the box. After doing this redownload the latest creative drivers and installing them then reboot and see if it fixes it.Always when told to reboot by anything make sure to reboot, and if you get any add new hardware wizards appear click "don't show this message again" then run the creative installer. Also if your installer comes up with an error asking for disk please follow my other "fix" for this problem posted on this forums. ThanksJad"Vista Beta Tester"

  • No Speaker Selection Settin

    Hello!
    When I first set up my Audigy 2 ZS configuration, I had speaker setting options: 2., 5., etc. drop down list box in my Creative Speaker Setting Tab and the THX Console. I had set it to 2. to match my speaker configuration.
    But now when I went there to make some adjusments, there are NO speakers listed in the drop down box. The box is empty and it gives me no options to select a speaker configuration.
    All diagnostics pass and the speakers appear to play properly. Does anyone know where the speaker option drop down list went?
    Thanks for your help.

    Not only were my speaker selections missing, but I also discovered that my EAX Console environmental settings were all gone.
    I downloaded and installed a 23MB Audigy software update and everything went back to normal. I wish I knew what screwed it up in the first place. Maybe it was the Windows Media Player! I just don't know.
    Thanks for the input.

  • No speaker selection shows

    I bought my Audigy (laptop version supporting 5. and probably up to 7.) soundcard during Christmas and its been working just fine. I haven't changed the settings much apart from when I first set it up. The computer often is either connected to 5. speakers or just standard earphone and I believe the sound card adjusts automatically.
    I moved back to uni yesterday and tried to setup the speakers again, but found that there was no speaker selection available in the dropdown menu as usual (2. etc.etc.) I tried restarting the computer afew times, and changing the Audio settings in Cpanel to no avail.
    Any help would be really appreciated
    Thanks!

    Final update! I'd encourage everyone to read this this thread above to test their speakers.
    For reference, I use Logitech 5300s 5. with Audigy2 ZS Notebook soundcard.
    After some testing and valiant replugging the system started working again
    Many thanks to Jeremy-CL!Message Edited by flicka on 09-27-2005 02:9 AM

  • IPAD accessibility feature - speak selection

    Does anyone know if the "speak selection" accessibility feature is only available on the iPad 2 with certain software updates?

    Yes, but I mean the "speak selection" option that appears when you highlight something and you are given a choice to push copy, define, speak.....separate from Voiceover.
