How To Set Up Text-To-Speech (Read Aloud) On Samsung Galaxy S23's

Here's how to set up the read aloud feature, commonly referred to as text-to-speech on your Samsung Galaxy S23. These instructions will apply for the Samsung Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra as well.

This feature allows your phone to read out text to you via the phone's AI. It is especially useful, but needs to be enabled for it to work.

You have to download and install the Android Accessibility Suite before you can start this set up.

How to activate text to speech with the selected word, sentence or paragraph only?? I don't want the the AI to read the time the date and everything. 😅 Just on the selected word or sentence similar to an iphone. Also like I want to do it on the samsung notes and some apps. I've been trying and looking but couldn't find anything helpful. Thanks.

What I'd like it to do on my S23 is not just read out loud a single page of a book, but to read the next page and so on. BUT I don't want to have to touch the next page button to move to the next page. Is there a way that the app can be set to move forward AUTOMATICALLY? 😮

😢 I watched a video multiple times, but I don't have the same steps on my phone s23 Ultra, which I just bought in the US. I don't have the "Select to speak" option under Accessibility. It offers to let it control my entire phone, and I don't want that.

Why does my s23 ultra text to speech sound like it has a echo, the beep it makes also sounds off.
