Hi David, There is a TalkBack setting under the Speech subset for enabling TalkBack to speak when the screen is off. You might need to check which “resume from suspend” option (also under TalkBack settings) you have selected as well.

However I am coming to terms with the reader. The problem I am having is that the reader stops when the screen goes into sleep mode. Is there a setting that can be turned on to solve this problem.
