Hi robertinorbit,
We recommend the steps in the link here: Hear iPad speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback - Apple Support
To perform the steps in the link above, open the link and read through the steps in the section titled "Change the speech settings."
1) Go to Settings> Accessibility > Spoken Content.
2) Adjust any of the following:
*Speak Selection: To hear text you selected, tap the Speak button.
*Speak Screen: To hear the entire screen, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen.
*Speech Controller: Show the controller for quick access to Speak Screen and Speak on Touch.
*Highlight Content: iPad can highlight words, sentences, or both as they’re spoken. You can change the highlight color and style.
*Typing Feedback: You can configure typing feedback for the onscreen and external keyboards and choose to have iPad speak each character, entire words, auto-corrections, auto-capitalizations, and typing predictions.
To hear typing predictions, you also need to go to Settings > General > Keyboards, then turn on Predictive.
*Voices: Choose a voice and dialect.
*Speaking Rate: Drag the slider.
*Pronunciations: Dictate or spell out how you want certain phrases to be spoken.
Hear iPad speak
Siri: Say something like: “Speak screen.” Learn how to use Siri.
Or do any of the following:
Hear selected text: Select the text, then tap Speak.
Hear the entire screen: Swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen. Use the controls that appear to pause speaking or adjust the rate.
Hear typing feedback: Start typing. To hear typing predictions (when turned on), touch and hold each word.
The reason why we are suggesting the steps above is because they will show you how to turn on the VoiceOver feature so that your iPad can speak selected text or read the entire screen to you.
Post back if you are still having problems after working through the steps in the Apple Support document above.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!
