starry safari read aloud

A small scoop of kid lit with all the toppings.

Storytime Theme: Safari

I would absolutely love to take a safari vacation, but unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of finances. I would love to see animals in a more natural environment and be able to take a vacation that is both eco-focused and just awe-inspiring and breathtaking. Since that’s not going to happen anytime soon, here’s the next best thing – a Storytime Theme: Safari that shares all sorts of great information about wild animals and some really fun stories too!

How to make Safari read a webpage aloud to you

Here's how to make Safari read a webpage aloud

Here's a neat but hidden trick Safari can do: read a webpage aloud to you. This comes in handy for getting multiple things done at once, such as typing while catching up on a news article or having recipes read to you while you cook. Follow the steps below to get Safari to read to you on your MacBook or iPad .

Get Safari to read a webpage to you in OS X

1. Tap the Reader View icon in the browser bar. 

This will make Safari show you only the main website content. Otherwise, Safari will attempt to read every word on the page, including navigation menus and other details you don't need to hear.

2. Go to Edit > Speech > Start Speaking.

Safari will immediately start reading the content on the webpage. Unfortunately, there's no pause or speed controls available directly in Safari. However, you can customize the voice and speaking rate in the System Preferences app. Go to System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Text to Speech to customize the voice you hear:

To stop the reading in Safari, go to Edit > Speech > Stop Speaking.

Get Safari to read a webpage to you in iOS

On the iPad or iPhone , you'll set up the text-to-speech option first in the Settings app.

Stay in the know with Laptop Mag

Get our in-depth reviews, helpful tips, great deals, and the biggest news stories delivered to your inbox.

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap Accessibility under General.

3. Tap Speech.

4. Toggle Speak Screen on.

Alternatively (or additionally), you can show a speech button when you highlight text in Safari or other iOS apps, but for having entire webpages read to you, the two-finger swipe down is easier to use. Here you can also adjust the speaking rate and choose a different voice.

5. Tap the Reader view icon in Safari to switch the page to a simplified reading -- and listening -- format.

6. Swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers to have Safari start reading aloud.

You'll be able to fast forward and rewind, pause, or change the reading speed from the mobile browser's onscreen controls.

Troubleshooting, how to use speak screen in safari on iphone & ipad.

Did you know that your iPhone and iPad can read Safari content displayed on the screen out loud? This is a feature that could prove to be quite useful if you’re busy focusing on something else, you want an article or webpage read to you, or for accessibility purposes.

Speak Screen is one of the many accessibility features that iOS and iPadOS has to offer. Unlike VoiceOver, a feature primarily used by people with visual impairment, Speak Screen gives iPhone and iPad users complete control over when it is activated. You could get Speak Screen to speak content anywhere on your iOS or iPadOS device. As a result, this could be used to listen to emails, web content, notes, ebooks, and more. Of course we’re going to be focusing on webpages here, but

Interested in taking advantage of this accessibility feature on your device? Let’s learn how to use Speak Screen on both the iPhone and iPad.

How to Use Speak Screen with Safari on iPhone & iPad

Speak Screen has been available on iOS and iPadOS devices for quite some time now, so your device doesn’t need to be on the latest version of the operating system. Enabling this feature is a pretty straightforward procedure. Simply follow the steps below to get started.

• Next, open the content that you want your device to read out loud.
• Head over to Safari and load a webpage or article, like the one you’re reading right now for example

There you, Safari on iPhone or iPad will speak aloud the content on the screen.

It’s worth keeping in mind that exiting the app or the content that’s displayed on the screen will automatically end the speech. Therefore, you won’t be able to access any other apps while your device is speaking content on a specific screen.

This feature could prove to be extremely useful not only if you have less than perfect eyesight, but also if you’re a multitasker. Let’s say you’re busy doing something on your computer, but you want to listen to an ebook or maybe even read one of our articles. You could simply open a page and use Speak Screen to read it out loud while you’re at it.

Once you have this feature enabled, you can make it even easier to access and implement by asking Siri to read the screen for you anytime you’re on a webpage, or doing anything else.

If you liked using Speak Screen on your iPhone or iPad, you might be interested in trying out Speak Selection too. It works in a pretty similar way, except for the fact that it just reads the text content you select. This could be used to check the pronunciation of certain words that you’re not familiar with, without having to look it up on YouTube.

In addition to this, iOS and iPadOS has several other accessibility features that can help people with visual or hearing impairment like VoiceOver, Display Accommodations, closed captioning, Live Listen, etc. For example, with the Live Listen feature, you can sort of  use your AirPods as hearing aids .

We hope you were able to take advantage of Speak Screen to read content out loud while you’re multitasking. What content do you mostly read using this feature? Have you tried asking Siri to read the screen for you? Make sure to drop your valuable opinions and experience in the comments section down below.

Choose Different Voices

Safari offers a range of high-quality voices that you can choose from to personalize the reading experience. Whether you prefer a male or female voice, a specific accent, or a particular tone, the ability to select different voices allows you to find the perfect auditory companion for your browsing journey. By exploring the diverse voices available, you can select the one that resonates with you and makes the reading experience more engaging and enjoyable.

How to Read Aloud a Webpage on Safari on iPhone

We all have varied preferences for consuming content. For example, some prefer to sit back and listen to podcasts and audiobooks while not being the biggest fans of reading long, text-heavy articles. Thankfully, your iPhone has you covered. Here’s how to use the Listen to Page feature in Safari to make it read a webpage aloud for you!

The feature is a recent addition to Safari on iPhone as a part of the iOS 17 update . However, even if you are using an older iPhone that does not run iOS 17, there’s an alternative feature that lets you listen to a web page in Safari. In this article, we want to show you how to use these features; let’s begin.

What Is the Listen to Page Feature in iOS 17

The ‘Listen to Page’ feature lets Safari read aloud a webpage and all of its text contents. It was introduced recently with the iOS 17 update and works on blogs, articles, and other text-heavy web pages in Safari.

It supports webpages in all languages supported by Siri. Further, you can also control playback by increasing the speed of the audio output, and you can go forward or back by ten seconds. We’ll show you how to do it in the following section.

Make Safari Read Text Out Loud on iOS 17

Here’s how to use the Listen to Page feature to let Safari read text aloud from webpages.

Step 1: Open Safari and open the article or blog you want to listen to.

Step 2: Tap on the Aa icon in the toolbar.

Step 3: Tap on Listen to Page.

The audio playback will begin, and Safari will read aloud the article for you. Now, let’s figure out how to control the audio playback.

Control the Audio Playback

You only get the bare minimum audio playback controls. However, the essentials are covered. You can tap on the loudspeaker icon, select Speaking rate, and change the speed of the audio playback.

You can also go back or forward 10 seconds in the audio playback.

Additionally, the playback controls are also available on the lock screen. Interestingly, the widget on the lock screen also shows the time left in the audio narration.

How to Change Listen to Page Language on Safari

If you see an article you want to listen to in Safari that isn’t written in the default language of your iPhone, you may notice that the ‘Listen to Page’ option will be greyed out. Hence, you must change that language in Siri to enable the option. Here’s how:

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on ‘Siri & Search’.

Step 3: Tap on Language.

Step 4: Select the language in the article to listen to in Safari.

Additionally, you can also change the voice/accent of the narration language. For example, I can change the English narration accent by changing the Siri Voice settings.

That is everything you need to know about the ‘Listen to Page’ feature on iOS 17 . If you are using an older iPhone that isn’t running iOS 17, you can use the similar ‘Speak Screen’ feature.

Use Speak Screen to Read Webpage Aloud on iPhone

Your iPhone has an accessibility feature called Speak Screen that narrates all the text on-screen. However, it isn’t as refined as the ‘Listen to Page’ feature, designed specifically to narrate the necessary content on a webpage. The Speak Screen proceeds to read all the text on the screen, including the ones that aren’t necessary, like ad banners on the webpage.

But you get a good number of options to control the audio output. Let’s explore all of them.

Step 1: Open the Settings app and select Accessibility.

Step 2: Tap on Spoken Content.

Step 3: Turn on the toggle for Speak Screen.

Step 4: Go back to Safari and swipe down with two fingers from the top of your iPhone. This will enable the speak screen.

Now, your iPhone will narrate the website contents whenever you open it on Safari.

Step 5: Tap on the speech controller floating button. Here, you’ll find all the options to control playback.

• Select Section to Narrate: Once you tap on this button, select the specific area of the screen to be narrated. Enable this option, and tap on the area you want narrated.
• Previous : This lets you go back to the narration of the previous section of the text.
• Play/Pause: This lets you play or pause the narration.
• Next: This lets you go to the narration of the next section of the text.
• Change Narration Speed: This lets you change the speed of text narration.
• Close Speak Screen: This will close and turn off the Speak Screen feature.

FAQs About ‘Listen to Page’ on Safari

The feature only works on websites with consistent paragraphs of text content. Further, the option will be greyed out if the content on the website is different from the Siri language.

Yes, if you can load the website offline, you can use the ‘Listen to Page’ feature in Safari.

Check your internet connectivity and restart your iPhone to fix the issue.

You can tap on the ‘Aa’ button > Listening Controls > End Listening to stop the narration.

Get iPhone to Read Webpages

We hope this article helps you listen to websites on Safari with ease. However, we wish Apple added more playback controls to this feature. But we like how the voice does not seem as robotic as the traditional text-to-speech style. Further, with Apple rumored to be working on a large language model, we can expect significant enhancement of features like these with forthcoming updates.

Starry Messenger

Description.

"This engaging, conversational book begs to be read aloud, and who better than its author?... Tyson's warmth and erudition make him a superb narrator of this excellent, thought-provoking book."- Library Journal "Like a spaceship traveling the stars, Tyson's voice flows smoothly as he delivers complex topics and positive perspectives on the future..."- AudioFile This program is read by the author, world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time—war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, and race—in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all. In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life's priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched. With crystalline prose, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From insights on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, an array of brilliant and beautiful truths that apply to us all, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe. A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company.
