LGoto moved this task from Needs Triage to Product Backlog on the Wikipedia-iOS-App-Backlog board.

For the FAQ we want to add the following to the end of this section: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/iOS_FAQ#Readability_and_accessibility

"How do I get the app to read Wikipedia articles out loud?'

The app supports screen reading via the voice features built into the OS and device. To have an article read to you simply ask Siri to "read the screen" with the article open. Or go to the Settings on your device, tap Accessibility then Spoken Content, and turn on Screen Reading. You do not need to enable VoiceOver fully to have articles read. You can make this a "Per App" setting if you want this to be available only in the Wikipedia.

@Johan can you assist with getting the update above added to the FAQ?

Sure, it takes twenty seconds. (: Done.
