What's New in ReadAloud+ Scan Text to Speech

Reader colors and line spacing. Tap Display while reading to choose from eight color options, including Black on Yellow, Yellow on Blue, and Green on Black, and Single, Double, or Triple spacing. Each option previews itself. Search your History. Receipts and lists get a short pause between lines instead of running together, all the way through long bills. Scans made offline now skip letterheads, barcodes, and page numbers, as online scans already did. These scans show a "Read offline" note at the top, and a number that comes out garbled is read as "unclear" instead of as the wrong number. Imported scanned PDFs fall back to offline reading the same way. Documents in a language with no matching voice now play correctly on the first try. VoiceOver: the reading voice now waits until VoiceOver has finished speaking before it starts, and Play keeps focus instead of jumping to Back. Reading speed is spoken at both speed controls, History rows and the reader's sheets announce properly, and onboarding and sign-in no longer cut off text at the largest sizes. The mini player on Home and History now offers only the document you listened to last, can be dismissed, and goes away once you finish it. On a shared device, signing in with a different account now clears the previous account's documents first. The voice picker describes each voice's style, and Apple's free voices are labeled in plain words.
