Google has released a new slew of features for Android, and one of the new features makes screen reading an accessible experience that isn't tied to specific apps. You will need to download the Reading Mode app from the Play Store. This app will give you new adjustable display and audio options—including contrast, font type, and size—so you can change how content is viewed on your phone. Reading mode is compatible with Google Talkback screen reader and works across websites and native Android apps.

Android also has a new text-to-speech function with speed control. It's available with a selection of "natural-sounding voices" to choose from, including English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
