Huh? Yes it does.
It's entirely possible that I don't understand how to effectively use reader view...
I remember now - my primary iOS device had one of those silica gel beads stuck in the headphone jack, so I couldn't use it effectively. And maybe the iOS version is too old to make this an effective task because I have to do:
1) Load the page I want to read in Safari.
2) Switch to Reader view.
3) Select the content to be read - correctly and carefully, one false tap and I get only a word instead of paragraphs!
4) Carefully tap again to get the menu, hit the ... for more options to get the speak text option.
I'd much prefer a tool that lets me load in hyperlinks, understands what constitutes the primary text on the page, and reads it off to me.
I've messed with Accessibility settings several times to no avail. Perhaps you could direct me to a tutorial or some resource online that actually makes this useful?
