I am trying to see if the functionality in iOS Thunkable is there to allow for text from a webview to be spoken.
Work flow would go along these lines.
Press Button\> Webview loaded\> Stored in DB\> Text to Speech begins reading text.
Thank you, first time using the iOS version.

Hi there. I think if you could save the text to a database, it should be possible to read that text aloud. I’m not sure if that’s possible to do via WebViewer but it may be possible using our Web API component.

Thanks for the reply.
I have a basic app for a ministry that Apple rejected but in the past has been approved. Apple is requesting additional functionality.
App was rejected for “Minimum Functionality” and am trying to find some feature to add to satisfy the app store.
