NewsBlur for iOS, 7.0.1
Running on iOS 9.3.5 (13G36)
Third generation iPad, circa 2012
Reproduction and observed behavior:
- Launch NewsBlur
- Open a story which has text.
- Press an hold on a word to select it. Observe that pops up a menu with the options “Speak | Speak… | Pause”
- Click “Speak” (the first one). Observe that nothing happens.
- Click “Pause”. Observe that nothing happens.
- Click “Speak…” (the second one). Observe that the menu disappears, but the text is not spoken aloud.
- Repeat steps 3-6 on a different word. Observe identical behavior.
- Extend the selection a few words in in both directions by dragging the blue handles.
- Click outside of the selection to clear it and dismiss the menu.
- Click and hold on a word to select it. Observe that the menu is different, and now reads “Copy | Select All | Define | Speak | Speak… | Pause | Share…”.
- Click “Speak…” (the second one). Observe that the menu disappears, but the text is not spoken aloud.
I can usually reset the behavior back to the start by opening a different story.
Expected behavior:
- Always be presented with the longer menu seen in step 10.
- Not see the “Speak…” button, as it appears non-functional and redundant.
- Not see the “Pause” button unless actively speaking. iOS Safari replaces the “Speak” button with the “Pause” button while actively speaking.
