And it also serves to listen to all the text on the phone: we explain how you can configure this mode on your Android.

Imagine that you have a website with a recipe that you would like to listen to while you prepare it in the kitchen, without having to read it. How would you do it? There are applications that read aloud the text that is on the screen. And one of the most recent, and most powerful, comes from Google: You can now install it on your mobile.

Reading mode tells you what’s on the screen

Google Reading Mode is added to the accessibility options as soon as the application is installed; It is not for nothing that it is aimed at those who need extra help with their phone. Even so, you can also take advantage of it if you want to hear what is written on the screen instead of reading it. It is often more practical.

With the novelty, just released in the functions that come to Android at Christmas, you can have screen reading in a very simple way. To set Reading Mode on your phone do the following:

• You can access Reading mode from the installed apps and also from “Settings/accessibility“. Either way is valid.
• Open Read Mode and configure the app to add a floating shortcut. This way you will make your mobile read the screen with a press.

• Reading Mode will dictate web pages, documents and other applications aloud to you where the text is majority. It also works in other apps, but not in everything you have installed.
