[SOLVED] Is there an app which can read everything on the screen for you? (lemmy.ml)

My phone screen broke but everything else works fine except for the fact that I can't see what's happening on my phone, I was able to install an app which mirrors my phone and thus control my phone indirectly, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do basic functions like reading texts without seeing the screen. I mean, I am also curious what do people with visual disabilities use? Are there any apps like VoiceOver which help you read texts?

On android theres "Talkback" via the accessbility settings not sure if that does everything you want though

hey.... I actually ended up enabling TalkBack Thank you! It's quite good. I mean, you gotta get the hang of it though. This whole ordeal has made me appreciate the efforts visually impaired people put into living their lives much more. I can't handle a bloddy phone, imagine living your life like this.
