Siri's abilities on iPhone 5S

I want Siri to read aloud from iBooks, etc; if not can someone suggest apps which would enable this ability on my iPhone 5S.

Thank you,

JackNZ

Hi JackNZ,


There are a couple different options for having a page in iBooks read or spoken out loud. Certain books in iBooks have included narration, as noted in the following article:


Can iBooks read books aloud?


Yes, you can use the read-aloud feature included in select children's books from the iBooks Store. With the read-aloud feature, a real narrator reads the book to you and, in some books, highlights the words as you read along.

For all other books, there is the Speak Screen feature of Accessability, as described on the following page:
