The next time you are reading an ebook, use two fingers to swipe down from the top of the screen, and Siri will start reading the ebook to you. You don’t want your iDevice to go to sleep mid-sentence, so your final step will be to turn off Auto-Lock.įind the Auto-Lock option under the Display and Brightness menu, and set it to Never. This will keep your iDevice from going to sleep and interrupting the ebo0k you’re listening to. You have 3 options: words, sentences, or both. There’s going to come a point where you will wonder, "Wait, did they really say that?" This will be when you be glad that you found the Highlight option in the Speech menu, and told your iDevice to highlight the words it is reading. Step Three: Decide Whether You Want to Highlight Content
There are a couple dozen voices to choose from in English alone, and many more for other languages. Find and select your language in the Voices menu, and then pick the voice you want to hear.

Seemed a bit difficult to keep track of what was last played and even though I made sure that "resume where you left off" was turned on in the settings, my stream didn't continue where I left off. I did recently learn about CloudBeats, which seems to support streaming from cloud services and I guess it did work for one chapter at least. Also, Audible's mobile app is the same in that regard so I'm used to it.
It doesn't have something like folders to organize book series, but as I only download a few books at a time, it doesn't bother me. My books, for the most part, are sorted in separate folders and each chapter is in its own audio file. Being able to download the books is way better than using wifi upload or a cable.īound can batch download all audio files in a folder in the background.
I use it by dumping all my audiobooks in dropbox and just download a few books at a time and remove them when I'm done. It can download audiobooks from cloud storage services (google drive, dropbox, etc.). I've used it quite a bit, though I don't have much experience with other audiobook apps. This question has been simmering for quite a while, but I figured I'd answer.
