  • Apple wins for its highlighted texts to speech to talk in their software.

    Apple wins for its highlighted texts to speech to talk in their
    software. Windows 10's Narrator sucks. It doesn't even let you highlight
    texts to speak outloud. :( Apple made it SO easy in macOS and iOS. I still haven't found any offline (no Internet) free third party apps that can
    do it easily and simple. Apple wins this part for me. :)

    Does Apple's iOS have an app that speaks an entire PDF file?

    The kind of PDF that has text - not the image-kind of PDF file.

    that functionality is an integral part of ios itself. no app required.
