Speak Screen on iPad.
Last week, my speak screen stop reading when it turned the page. There were no issues before that. Did something happen during the last update?

I’m having the same issue, it stops reading any text, even if I select it.
Nothing fixes it, not even resetting all settings, nor even a factory reset with a backup.
We’re on iOS 17.5.1; It’s still not fixed.
Can someone from Apple provide us a definitive solution, please? It’s very disappointing and frustrating
Hello Cathycjr,
The Spoken Content function is something in the Settings menu, which is impossible to delete and re-install as Settings is built directly into the operating system. It's not an app, so not sure what you deleted and re-installed on the device.
If the Speak button is not working after turning the Spoken Content option off and back on then you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support
Cheers!
Hello Cathycjr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.
Have you tried restarting your iPad since this issue began to occur? If not, then that is where we'd recommend starting since restarting your device can often resolve unexpected issues such this. Here is how to reboot your iPad so you can test: Force restart iPad - Apple Support
Once you've rebooted, test the issue again. If it's still occurring, try disabling this feature and re-enabling it to see if that may help get things working again. This article has the information you'll need to give that a shot: Hear iPad speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback - Apple Support
We hope this does the trick for you!
Cheers.
Hi Cathycjr,
If this is only happening with your Kindle app, you'd be best to reach out to that app developer. This link shows you how to do so: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
You can also choose to reach out to Apple Support. This link will walk you through a few steps then connect you to them: Get Support
Good luck!
This did not work. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it. Same thing.
I was referring to the Kindle app not the Apple function itself.
