Good work mom ♥😇

[@1Himiko7Toga]

😂 thanks for this i been waiting to use this on my S22U but never had the moment to really think of doing it. Its nice when your feeling a little lazy to read lol especially when you're tired! But always be careful on listing because you might get confused since we all zone out sometimes

[@excellbrasileletronica9633]

Thank you very very much. My damn Samsung phone was not allowing it. Fixed.

[@PeterPols-r3i]

finally! found someone that doesn't talk faster than I can think!

[@limsuebee6144]

This video is still workable for my huawei P50 pro. Thank a lot❤❤

[@VanessaHape]

Very useful, thanks. I found with pdfs on my phone however, that I couldn't select portions around text that I wanted read out. It just started from the top of the page and started reading. However, in other apps I could select the portions I wanted to hear.

[@googleguidancewithms.dresc1502]

PDFs often have their own set of rules. Try checking out TextHelp for PDF options

[@Michaelneiss]

It doesn't work on my phone as it will only read the interface and not any PDF or other forms of text

[@josemanuellastra2488]

It doesn’t work quite well in my Huawei M5 Light tablet, it makes very large pauses when I want to read a complete Web article in the chrome Web browser, or actually in any browser, it’s very unpleasant. I’ve factory reset the tablet like 5 times but the problem persists. I’m a visually impaired person, I don’t like at all how Talkback works to read articles so How do I fix it? Quite frustrating

[@lauraclause7472]

Thank you so much! I've been experiencing reading compression issues since damage was done to my vestibular nerve during a recent surgery. This will be a tremendous help!

[@Tirelesswarrior]

Many thanks for this. How can i control the speed of the speech. It sounds hurried, too hurried.

[@MichaelStoneham]

Feature isn't in my settings on Android 10/11

[@seankolemaine9027]

You; speaking in clear cut english, tapping, swiping, and talking me through this in a way I can clearly understand is appreciated. Thank you VERY much for making this process a lot easier for a tech dum dum like myself. Hehe... I was about to give up hope, but instead... because of your simple to understand video, I have a slick new feature on my phone!

Thank you

[@noads8175]

I dont want to install google product , so how can I use Samsung tts ?

[@googleguidancewithms.dresc1502]

Sorry this is a Google Guidance channel, that's what I specialize in. This Android Accessibility Suite offered by Google LLC is the best TTS option on a Samsung phone (in my opinion).

[@akaildabriel]

I just wanna know how to skip to a new line. Please help.

[@googleguidancewithms.dresc1502]

Hi there! You should be able to say "period new line" and the mic will place that punctuation and jump down to a new line. You can also try saying "new paragraph"

[@akaildabriel]

@@googleguidancewithms.dresc1502 thanks. I tried those but it doesn't work. I'm using samsung M21s. Software said 3.1 and Android version 11. I don't know if that has something to do with it. Thanks again.

[@thanos1978-]

[@googleguidancewithms.dresc1502]

Could you please clarify your question so I can help?
