Turn Select to Speak On or Off auf Xiaomi
Select to Speak is a screen-reading tool bundled with MIUI's Accessibility settings under the Vision section. Once turned on, it adds a floating icon to your navigation bar that lets you tap any text, image, or button and have it read aloud through your phone speaker or connected headset.
The feature stays hidden by default because it works as an accessibility shortcut rather than a system-wide setting. If you never opened the Accessibility menu, the shortcut was never assigned, so no icon appears even though the underlying service already exists on your device.
To enable or disable it, go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Additional settings ➔ Tap on Accessibility ➔ Tap on Vision ➔ Tap on Select to Speak ➔ Enable or disable Select to Speak shortcut.
Once active, tap the icon and then tap any element on screen to hear it read aloud. Tapping the icon a second time closes the tool without disabling it permanently.
If you only need occasional text-to-speech for long articles, a dedicated reading app may work better than toggling this shortcut every time. Disabling Select to Speak does not affect TalkBack or any other accessibility service running on the phone.
