I am using the speak function in books to get my e-books read by the iPad.

I have this issue that when I use the feature, the app freezes.

It happens both on the iPad and the iPhone (both last OS installed).

I have seen many people have this issue. Apparently it is a quite old problem that Apple doesn’t bother to fix, probably because not many people use it.

I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for it. My solution so far is to wait for the device to finish speaking what I selected, and then to close the app and reopen it. Then, it will work again. But as you can imagine, this is pretty annoying and feels very trashy …

(Especially when you’re holding an almost 3000 € or so iPad in your hands. Apple, you smell bad)
