It is a convenient way to process data, because we can read in detail, reread or, on the contrary, read diagonally at full speed. Sometimes, however, we cannot devote ourselves to reading. So, with the arrival of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/ios-17-official-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS 17<\/a><\/strong>, Apple has introduced a feature that will delight when we seek to inform ourselves in an even more comfortable way: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/siri-iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Siri<\/a><\/strong> can now <strong>read web articles aloud, <\/strong>transforming them into a kind of audiobook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Siri&#8217;s new feature in iOS 17<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is more than one situation where we may feel overwhelmed at the thought of reading long articles on small screens or that we simply need to be able to do other activities while reading. This is where iOS 17 and the new resource Siri has learned comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWDC 2023 \u2014 June 5 | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GYkq9Rgoj8E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can <strong>ask our favori<\/strong>te assistant to read any article aloud or through connected AirPods. Ideal for listening to long articles while doing other things. We should note, however, that this feature is only available when browsing through Safari. It is in the Apple browser where we will find the necessary button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is because of a feature that Safari has included for years: the reader mode. With it, our browser removes all superfluous information from any page and leaves the headline, the author and date of publication and the text itself with the relevant photos. <strong>No advertising, no special formats or fonts. Just the text.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the way in which the new article reading function is supported, as it lets Siri know which part of a website it has to read to us. In this regard, it is worth bearing in mind that not all websites support this system. The vast majority, let&#8217;s say 95%, but some older or very specific designs may not mark the different elements properly and not allow the system to know what is what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to ask Siri to read us any article<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two ways to ask Siri to read the article we are viewing in Safari. The simplest is to tell her directly with a request like &#8220;<strong>Hey Siri, read this to me<\/strong>&#8220;, for example. Automatically, our assistant will start reading and display a control panel at the top. From there we can adjust the volume, pause or continue reading and move forward or backward using the buttons or the slider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Thursday-20-Jul-2023-120402.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-299037\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note that the playback bar indicates the reading time of the article and that, in addition, we can send the reading to other devices through the AirPlay button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second method to have Siri read us the article we are viewing requires us to tap the aA-shaped <strong>button in the address bar and then select &#8220;Read article&#8221;<\/strong>. As before, Siri will automatically start reading, but we won&#8217;t see the control we discussed in the previous section unless we lock our iPhone or iPad. In the meantime, we can pause or resume reading with the options offered by the aA button.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the many new features coming to our devices with iOS 17.
