Jan 13, 2016 7:28 AM in response to Tdcrawby jason269,Hi, Tdcraw.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see that you are looking to an alternate solution to the Speak Screen option as there has been some difficulty using the two finger swipe. While there currently isn't an option to adjust the precision of the swipe, another option may be to ask Siri to speak the screen back to the students. You can access Siri by pressing and holding the Home Button down until message asks, "What can I help you with?" Then say "speak the screen."
Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Speak Screen
If you have a hard time reading the text on your iOS device, use Speak Screen to read your email, iMessages, web pages, and books to you. Turn on Speak Screen and swipe down from the top with two fingers, or just tell Siri to Speak Screen and have all the content of the page read back to you. You can adjust the voice’s dialect and speaking rate, and have words highlighted as they’re being read.
Cheers

Jan 15, 2016 12:16 PM in response to jason269by Tdcraw,Thank you, that may very well help some students. It there a possibility to have it turn on with triple click or in assistive touch in the future. It is so finicky to turn on and off I imagine it is hard for many that would benefit from it.
thank you

Jan 16, 2016 12:48 AM in response to Tdcrawby bobseufert,I'm surprised speakscreen isn't already on Assustive Touch. I'll give you the feedback link to syggest Apple add. it. First are you starting the two finger swipe about 1/4 inch above the screen ? If that doesn't work you can use Siri to speak screen. Simply say "speak screen."
Now about that link.

Rereading the thread I see Jason already told you about Siri. Sorry.
