Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Is it possible to listen to your books on your iPhone or can you get an app which will do this. I have read you can turn on VoiceOver to do this has anyone done this before?

You can use VoiceOver in Accessibility settings to do this.
Settings>General>Accessibility

It'll probably drive you crazy though.

There are kids book that have a read aloud feature built in.

Edit: VoiceOver guide

Look in the AppStore for "Voice Reader".

+1 to DubTony, you'll have to mess around with the speed, and the pronounciation, full stops and voice will drive you off fairly quick I'd say. At least, my 4 sounds silly saying anything more than a message back to me.
