Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to activating and managing dual user interface modes for an operating system. An electronic device configured to run an operating system in a first mode including a first user interface receives, while operating in the first user interface mode, a predefined sequence of inputs, and in response to receiving the predefined sequence of inputs, transitions the operating system from the first user interface mode to a second user interface mode. The second user interface mode has different input capabilities with respect to the first user interface mode.

Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for initiating and controlling content speaking on touch-sensitive devices. A gesture can be detected on a touchscreen for causing text to be spoken. Displayed content can be analyzed, and a determination can be made based on size, position, and other attributes as to which portion of displayed text should be spoken. In response to detecting the gesture, the identified portion of text can be spoken using a text-to-speech process. A menu of controls can be displayed for controlling the speaking. The menu can automatically be hidden and a persistent virtual button can be displayed that can remain available on the touchscreen despite the user navigating to another view. Selecting the persistent virtual button can restore the full menu of controls, thereby allowing the user to continue to control the speaking even after navigating away from the content being spoken.
