In this episode, Thomas Domville explores the ‘Listen to Page’ feature on iOS 17. This feature allows your device to read aloud the content of a webpage, making it an excellent tool for multitaskers who want to consume text content while on the move.
To use the feature, ensure that your device is updated to iOS 17 and launch Safari. Visit the desired webpage and locate the Page Settings icon at the bottom left of the webpage. Tap it and select ‘Listen to Page’ to start the narration. To pause, tap the Page Settings icon again and choose ‘Pause Listening’. When you’re ready to continue, tap the Page Settings icon and select ‘Resume Listening’.
Please note that ‘Listen to Page’ may not support webpages with interactive features or minimal text. However, if a webpage supports Reader mode, it’s likely to support ‘Listen to Page’ as well. The feature remembers where you left off, so you can resume listening from the same spot. You can also customize the voice of the spoken audio in your iOS settings at any time.
