The cloudLibrary app provides text to speech compatibility through the iOS application. By entering into accessibility mode you can navigate and check out books that can then be read aloud to you.  On the iOS device go to Settings – Accessibility – VoiceOver and slide the button to the right to enable.

Please note that once this feature is enabled, you tap a button or word to select it and double tap it to open or run it. Also, swiping will require two fingers, not one. Once this step has been completed, navigate to the cloudLibrary, check out and open a book and the book will begin reading aloud.
