How to Spell Words by Speaking on iPhone or iPad - OSXDaily | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

This great feature is useful for many obvious reasons, whether for educational purposes, or perhaps you can’t quite make out if what you’re reading on the iPad or iPhone screen is supposed to be an uppercase O or a zero 0, or any other situation where you can imagine it’s useful to have your iOS device speak aloud the spelling of a word or selected item.
