Well... yeah, but that's a huge pain in the butt and I don't 
recommend it. You have to select each individual page and read 
it. For a one or two page document, that's not bad, but for a 
400-page book it would be kinda hard.

Hi Sophie,

Hmm... I'm not sure. Would you be able to just use VoiceOver to 
read it?

Hi y'all,

Recently, I got the Blio app, which is an acessible Ebook reader 
for the
iPhone. Yeserday, I bought a book from the Blio store and 
attempted to rea
it only to find that the text-to-speech feature was not enabled. 
I doubt
there is any way to manually enable this feature, but if there 
is, would you
please let me know? What troubled me about this was that nowhere 
in the
product details did it tell me whether text-to-speech was enabled 
or not.
And just out of curiosity, why would text-to-speech not be 
enabled on a
website specifically designed for blind users?
Yours,
Sophie Trist
