"A new patent suggests that Apple may add text-to-speech functionality to its Notes app, specifically for communicating in a different language.\nThe feature will translate text into a desired language, and then convert that text to speech that can then be read aloud. Any integration with Siri is unclear.\nSee also: Top 25 Free iPhone Apps of All Time\nThe translation feature will be listed as another option from the pop up menu \u2014 along with cut, copy and paste \u2014 that currently shows up on the iPhone upon selecting a particular phrase. \nGoogle Translate for the iPhone currently offers a similar functionality. The app reads an English word or phrase in a different language of your choice. \nA Notes integration could potentially prove much more useful, with key phrases like \"How do I get to the train station?\" available in different languages at the ready. \nWould you use a translate feature within Notes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.\n[h/t Patently Apple]\nImage: Flickr, Andrew\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
