口语内容(Spoken Content)(以前的语音(Speech))是 iOS 和 iPadOS 中的一项Apple辅助功能。它可以让您的 iPhone、iPod touch 或 iPad 大声朗读文本。如果您在阅读小文本时遇到困难或只是在处理多项任务时,它会很有帮助。
在这份详细的指南和教程中,您将学习在 iPhone 上激活语音内容(Spoken Content)并自定义功能以按照您想要的方式工作。
在 iPhone 上访问您的口语内容设置(Spoken Content Settings)
要让您的 iPhone 或 iPad 朗读文本,您必须首先访问您的口语内容(Spoken Content)设置。要找到他们:
1.在您的 iPhone 或 iPad 上打开设置应用程序。(Settings)
2. 向下滚动并点击辅助功能(Accessibility)。
3. 在视觉(Vision)部分下,点击语音内容(Spoken Content)以查看与该功能相关的所有可用设置。
以下部分将引导您了解如何使用语音内容(Spoken Content)屏幕中的每个辅助功能设置。
让你的 iPhone朗读选定的文本(Read Selected Text Out Aloud)
启用朗读选择(Speak Selection)以设置您的 iPhone 朗读选定的文本。然后,您可以突出显示文档和网页中的文本,然后点击弹出菜单上的“朗读”按钮将文本转换为语音。(Speak)
提示(Tip):点击并按住一个单词以突出显示它。然后,使用周围的手柄突出显示其他单词、句子和段落。
默认情况下,您的 iPhone 在使用Speak Selection朗读句子时会为句子添加下划线并突出显示单词。您可以通过深入研究突出显示内容(Highlight Content)设置来自定义它(稍后会详细介绍)。
让你的 iPhone在屏幕上朗读文本(Speak Text)
您还可以通过激活Speak Screen(Speak Screen)旁边的切换按钮让 iPhone 大声朗读整个屏幕。然后,您可以用两根手指从屏幕顶部向下滑动,设备将从顶部开始朗读屏幕上的任何内容。请注意,这不适用于锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)、主屏幕(Home Screen)和控制中心(Control Center)。
使用语音控制器(Speech Controller)上的播放控件来加快或减慢阅读速度、跳过行和句子以及暂停阅读。您还可以点击Speak on Touch图标并点击任何短语或句子,让您的 iPhone 开始阅读。如果你什么都不做,语音控制器(Speech Controller)就会消失。
启用“朗读屏幕”(Speak Screen)选项后,您还可以通过说“嘿Siri,朗读屏幕”让(Speak Screen)Siri开始讲话。了解如何在 iPhone 上设置和配置 Siri(set up and configure Siri on iPhone)。
让语音控制器始终显示(Speech Controller Always Show Up)在屏幕上(Screen)
您还可以让语音控制器(Speech Controller)覆盖始终留在屏幕上。为此,请点击Speech Controller选项并激活(Speech Controller)Show Controller旁边的开关。
然后,您可以展开Speak Controller并点击Play图标,让您的 iPhone 开始说出屏幕上的任何内容。同样(Again),使用“上一个(Previous)”和“下一个”(Next)图标在行之间移动,使用“速度”(Speed)图标来增加或降低速度。不要忘记激活Speak (Don)on Touch(Speak on Touch )以让设备读取您触摸的任何内容。
默认情况下,长按折叠的语音控制器(Speech Controller)图标会提示您的 iPhone 开始大声朗读文本,而双击该图标会将其切换到触控(Speak on Touch)模式。您可以使用语音控制器(Speech Controller)屏幕底部的长按(Long Press )和双击选项来更改它。(Double Tap)
此外,您可以通过点击Idle Opacity来更改语音控制器(Speech Controller)的不透明度。减小该值将使其不那么具有侵入性。
让您的 iPhone在朗读时(Aloud)突出显示文本(Highlight Text)
轻点“朗读内容”设置中的“(Spoken Content)突出显示内容(Highlight Content)”选项,以自定义 iPhone 朗读文本时突出显示的工作方式。
您可以将 iPhone 设置为仅突出显示单个单词或句子、更改突出显示样式(下划线或背景颜色)以及调整单词和句子的突出显示颜色。尝试不同的组合以确定最适合您的组合。
让您的 iPhone为(Provide)您提供打字反馈
语音内容(Spoken Content)还允许您的 iPhone 在您键入时大声朗读文本。点击输入反馈( Typing Feedback )以确定您希望如何接收反馈。你可以让你的 iPhone 说出单个字符(有反馈延迟)、整个单词、自动更正,甚至是预测文本。
如果您的iPhone 没有激活输入预测(iPhone doesn’t have typing predictions active),请前往“设置”(Settings) > “通用(General)” > “键盘”,然后打开“(Keyboard)预测(Predictive)”旁边的开关。
为语音内容(Spoken Content)选择语音(Voice)和方言(Dialect)
你想让你的 iPhone 以不同的声音朗读文本吗?点击语音(Voices),您可以在 iPhone 大声说出的每种语言(例如英语(English)、法语(French)、印地语(Hindi)等)的语音之间切换。
此外,您可以切换到相同语音的增强版本。例如,转到英语(English)>英语(美国)(English (US)) > Samantha,然后点击Samantha (增强)((Enhanced))。语音包(通常重约 150 MB)必须先下载,然后才能使用。
修改iPhone上的(Your)语速(Speaking Rate)
将语速下的滑块向右拖动可提高 iPhone 默认的阅读速度。(Speaking Rate )或者,将其向左拖动以减小它。
(Add Custom Pronunciations)在iPhone朗读时添加(Your)自(Speaks Aloud)定义发音
如果您的 iPhone 发音错误,您可以创建自定义发音。点击发音(Pronunciations),选择加(Plus)号按钮,输入单词或短语,然后选择麦克风(Microphone)图标。
然后,您必须在听完每个语音建议后大声说出替换词并选择正确的发音。对您要创建的任何其他自定义发音重复此操作。(Repeat)
不要忘记(Forget)查看其他辅助功能(Accessibility)选项
如果您难以阅读 iPhone 的屏幕,您还可以利用其他(take advantage of other accessibility-related features)针对视力障碍的辅助功能相关功能。这些包括:
VoiceOver:让您的 iPhone 通过点击屏幕上的元素来大声说出屏幕上的元素。
缩放(Zoom):放大屏幕。
显示和文本大小(Display & Text Size):增加默认文本大小。
运动(Motion):减少运动以提高能见度。
音频描述:(Audio Descriptions:)让您的 iPhone 在支持的视频(例如Apple TV)中自动朗读音频描述。
就像语音内容一样,您会在(Spoken Content)设置(Settings)>辅助(Accessibility)功能下找到这些功能。试一试,看看它们是否适合你。如果您喜欢 iPhone 或 iPad 上的此功能,您还可以让 Mac 朗读文本(get your Mac to read text aloud)。
How to Get Your iPhone to Read Text Aloud to You
Spokеn Content (formerly Spеech) is an Aрple accessibility feature in iОS and iPadOS. It lets your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad read text aloud. It’s helpful іf you have trouble reading small text or juѕt when you’re mυltitasking.
In this detailed guide and tutorial, you’ll learn to activate Spoken Content on your iPhone and customize the feature to work the way you want.
Accessing Your Spoken Content Settings on iPhone
To get your iPhone or iPad to read text aloud, you must first access your Spoken Content settings. To get to them:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Scroll down and tap Accessibility.
3. Under the Vision section, tap Spoken Content to view all available settings related to the feature.
The following sections walk you through how to use each accessibility setting within the Spoken Content screen.
Have Your iPhone Read Selected Text Out Aloud
Enable Speak Selection to set up your iPhone to read selected text aloud. You can then highlight text in documents and webpages and tap the Speak button on the pop-up menu to convert the text to speech.
Tip: Tap and hold a word to highlight it. Then, use the surrounding handles to highlight additional words, sentences, and paragraphs.
By default, your iPhone underlines sentences and highlights words as it reads them using Speak Selection. You can customize that by diving into the Highlight Content settings (more on that later).
Have Your iPhone Speak Text on a Screen
You can also have your iPhone read the entire screen aloud by activating the toggle next to Speak Screen. You can then swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers, and the device will begin to speak whatever’s on the screen, starting from the top. Note that this does not work on the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and Control Center.
Use the playback controls on the Speech Controller to speed up or slow down the read speed, skip lines and sentences, and pause reading. You can also tap the Speak on Touch icon and tap any phrase or sentence to get your iPhone to start reading it. If you do nothing, the Speech Controller will disappear.
With the Speak Screen option enabled, you can also get Siri to start speaking by saying, “Hey Siri, Speak Screen.” Learn how to set up and configure Siri on iPhone.
Have the Speech Controller Always Show Up on Screen
You also can get the Speech Controller overlay to always stay on the screen. To do that, tap the Speech Controller option and activate the switch next to Show Controller.
You can then expand the Speak Controller and tap the Play icon to get your iPhone to start speaking whatever’s on the screen. Again, use the Previous and Next icons to move between lines and the Speed icon to increase or decrease the speed. Don’t forget to activate Speak on Touch to get the device to read whatever you touch.
By default, long-pressing the collapsed Speech Controller icon prompts your iPhone to start speaking text aloud, while double-tapping the icon switches it to Speak on Touch mode. You can change that using the Long Press and Double Tap options at the bottom of the Speech Controller screen.
Additionally, you can change the opacity of the Speech Controller by tapping Idle Opacity. Decreasing the value will make it less intrusive.
Have Your iPhone Highlight Text As It Speaks Aloud
Tap the Highlight Content option within the Spoken Content settings to customize how highlighting works as your iPhone speaks out text aloud.
You can set your iPhone to highlight individual words or sentences only, change the highlight style (underline or background color), and adjust the highlight color for words and sentences. Try out different combinations to determine what works for you the best.
Have Your iPhone Provide You With Typing Feedback
Spoken Content also allows your iPhone to speak text aloud as you type. Tap Typing Feedback to determine how you want to receive feedback. You can get your iPhone to speak individual characters (with a feedback delay), entire words, auto-corrections, and even predictive text.
If your iPhone doesn’t have typing predictions active, head to Settings > General > Keyboard and turn on the switch next to Predictive.
Choose a Voice and Dialect For Spoken Content
Do you want to get your iPhone to read text aloud in a different voice? Tap Voices, and you get to switch between voices for each language that your iPhone speaks out aloud—e.g., English, French, Hindi, etc.
Additionally, you can switch to the enhanced version of the same voice. For example, go to English > English (US) > Samantha and tap Samantha (Enhanced). The voice pack (which typically weighs around 150 MB) must download before you can use it.
Modify the Speaking Rate on Your iPhone
Drag the slider under Speaking Rate to the right to increase how fast the iPhone reads by default. Or, drag it to the left to decrease it.
Add Custom Pronunciations as Your iPhone Speaks Aloud
If your iPhone mispronounces certain words, you can create a custom pronunciation. Tap Pronunciations, select the Plus button, type the word or phrase, and select the Microphone icon.
You must then speak the substitution aloud and pick the correct pronunciation after listening to each phonetic suggestion. Repeat for any other custom pronunciations you want to create.
Don’t Forget to Review Other Accessibility Options
If you struggle to read your iPhone’s screen, you can also take advantage of other accessibility-related features geared toward vision impairment. These include:
VoiceOver: Get your iPhone to speak onscreen elements on the screen aloud by tapping on them.
Zoom: Magnifies the screen.
Display & Text Size: Increase the default text size.
Motion: Reduce motion to improve visibility.
Audio Descriptions: Get your iPhone to automatically speak audio descriptions in supported videos—e.g., Apple TV.
Just like with Spoken Content, you will find these features listed under Settings > Accessibility. Try them out and see if they work for you. And if you enjoy this feature on your iPhone or iPad, you can also get your Mac to read text aloud.
