How to read a multiple-column document on the iOS app?

If you have a document that has multiple columns, the multi-crop tool would be the best option to help the app identify the columns.

The multi-crop option allows you to crop multiple pages at once while uploading a document into the Speechify iOS app. This saves you from having to crop each page separately. This facilitates the app to properly determine the borders, especially for pages that contain columns, images, annotations, or a page footer.

The following are the necessary procedures to accomplish this task.

  1. Open the imported document in your Speechify library

  2. Click the Kebab or three-dots icon in the upper right corner of the reading screen

  3. Tap to open the Adjust Document feature

  4. Tap the Crop icon on the left side of the navigation bar

  5. Click the + icon in the bottom right corner of the page and select Split Vertically.

  6. Adjust the frame to fit how you want to split the column.

  7. On the Apply to option, you may choose to apply the changes on the current page, select certain pages, or simply apply them to all pages.

  8. Lastly, tap Save, then Save & Listen, and now the speaker will read the document based on the adjusted columns.
