Read Aloud Feature is not available after recent roll out update

You didn’t happen to get it figured out did ya?

Not only do I have a learning disability that affects my reading but I also have vision issues. . On really bad days I’m nearly blind, so much so I can’t even drive let alone read text on my iPhone or desktop. So I relied on the read-aloud feature 100% and use it daily…. well until they took that option away. As silly as it is, I even tried clicking on the little voice or wave button hoping maybe it would speak back to me… Nope, just tells me I need to upgrade, and I refuse to upgrade just to get the read aloud feature back.

It’s quite frustrating and a shame that the people (like myself) who actually depend on the read-aloud feature can no longer use it.
