Your iPhone can read the text that appears on your screen. This can be helpful for the visually impaired or for people who find it difficult to read their iPhone’s screens. With a quick gesture, iPhone will speak the words found in your email messages, pages, books, and iMessages. You no longer need to look at the screen to read the news or get your girlfriend’s email messages. The feature even lets you adjust the speaker’s voice, language, and speech rate.
