Text to Speech doesn’t work after recent IPad update

amrsharaf · November 27, 2021

The text to speech feature on ipad doesn’t work after the latest zotero update. Now when a text is selected, the “speak” option shows “Pause” instead, and doesn’t seem to work. This only happens when the “Text to Speech” assistance option is enabled on ipad.

Does this still happen after restarting your iPad?

The Speak function is working fine for me.

Make sure you're viewing a PDF that actually has a valid text layer. If in doubt, test with this PDF.

If you're still having trouble, make sure you're running the latest version of iOS.

I have the same problem. Even withPDF that has a valid text layer, text-to-speech does not work in the PDF view mode. In the text view it seems to work OK.

I also have this problem - in text view it works but not on pdf view. Have tried multiple pdfs

Not working for me either. PaperShip works.
