Speaky is an app which highlights why the iPad is so cool. Very simply, all the app does is read webpages and text to you. However, the way the app is designed, makes the whole process completely streamlined.
I am a big fan of apps which help workflow and make your life easier, and Speaky is one of those apps. Here is the process:
Copy a link from Safari, go to Speaky, press the ‘+’ button, select ‘use copied URL’, press play. Simple and straightforward. You can even control the audio from your Control Center as the app supports background audio.
Speaky will then extract the text from a website, ignoring links and adverts, and use the Siri voice engine to read the page to you. I know you can turn on reading mode to read chunks of text to you in iOS 7, but using Speaky eliminates completely any fiddly stuff.
The app is really useful if you want to read a news…
