"Show Reader View" failing to isolate only the article to read Text to voice

Text to Voice is reading aloud every previous 'Tab' i have visited, instead of just the 'Show Reader View'.

It is failing to isolate only the article to read Text to voice.


Instead, it reads aloud many extraneous features first, like the address bar, and the "Tab bar" below that, including every 'Tab' of previous recent Safari sites I have been to.


I think the solution may be to make those top 2 'bars' be 'Hidden', as I can do on my desktop 'Mac Mini', by just going to 'View' and select to 'Hide'.


I like & need to use Text-To-Voice so my Mini iPad reads aloud any article i choose. 


So I use the 'Accessibility' feature & Swipe Down with 2 fingers.


It works fine on my iPhone 7.


The problem is only on my iPad Mini Software version up to date 13.1.2 .


It is extremely frustrating, and effectively makes it almost impossible to use Text-To-Voice for 'Reader View' on my iPad Mini because who has patience to have to listen first to the 'Address Bar' + 10 or 15 previous 'TABS' of previous sites I have visited.

Hello,


Try updating to iPadOS 13.4.1 to see if it resolves your problem.
