Add a Read Aloud Feature

It would be amazing in “Read mode” if there were a feature were you could have the book auto scroll and be read aloud to you like an audio book. Maybe even highlighting the words as they're being read so you can track where it's at in the book and easily jump in if you hear something interesting and want to read it for yourself.

Something similar for mobile devices so it could also read while your screen is locked would make my life much more efficient.

  If you use Macs there is a built in “Service” that allows you to highlight a section of text and choose “Add to Music as a spoken track.” Sadly, Accordance does not support that service. However, you can copy the text and paste it into Pages, then choose activate the service. 

  I will usually copy a chapter out of a resource and listen to it while I walk each day. Hint: be sure to choose one of the better voices. My preference is Ethan (enhanced). It actually works really well.

  For Macs, it still limits the amount read.  I would like to let it read through chapters of a book ideally!
