Text-to-speech on your Samsung smart watch
Reading small text on a watch screen can be difficult sometimes, especially if you are on the go. No worries, with a Galaxy or Gear smart watch and text-to-speech, you can actually have your watch read text aloud to you. Have it read messages or notifications aloud, so you'll never misread any important information again.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by provider, phone, or watch. This feature is not available on the Galaxy Fit, Gear Fit2 Pro and Gear Fit2.
Text-to-speech options
From the watch's Home screen, navigate to Settings and then tap General > Text-to-speech. From here, you can choose from the available options:
Language: Choose the language for spoken text.
Speech rate: Set the speed at which the text is read.
Read notifications: Set the watch to read notifications aloud.
Note: Depending on your watch model, a Bluetooth headset may be required for this feature.
Check for updates: Search for available updates.
