Text to speech has begun to skip paragraphs & pages. I use it most days to proofread my work & this just began happening last week. Restarting doesn’t help. I’ve tried different articles and books, but it happens with all of them. I really rely on this feature. Any ideas?

Thank you for your response. Did your statement in #4, ”iTunes will TRY to reinstall iOS device without erasing your data”, mean the process may not restore data automatically and I would have to set up my device again? Just making sure. Also, what happens if repeated attempts fail to reinstall iOS?
Regards.
