Hi Ibrahim
I tried yours and Richard's suggestion of turning automatic reading off when
the app recognises text, but doing a two-finger swipe down just reads the whole
screen, including all the icons, which is not what I want. I just wish we had
the one voice in the app rather than whatever default voice you use, plus the
reading voice for the app itself. That is my only grumble though, the rest of
it is very good. I was using it very extensively yesterday and just got a bit
irritated with two voices.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown
