hi, I noticed voiceover does very good reading subtitles in its tv and movies apps. But what other apps does this voiceover subtitle reading feature what other apps does it work with? I am interested in watching anime with subtitles if possible, having voiceover read the subtitles for me on both IOS, and apple tv 4th gen. Also does apple tv 4k have voiceover features that my normal standard apple tv 4th gen does not?

It depends
Hello you may be able to have voice over read subtitles for anime, but it doesn't work for every streaming service or even every show. For example, it works on Netflix, Hulu and the Funimation app, however it doesn't work on the Chronchyroll app or the VRV app. Also of what I've tried Netflix seemes to be the only app where it doesn't matter wihat anime you're watching the-subtitles will be read by voice over; however, for the other apps I've seen it depends, there are shows that you'll be ableto have voice over read the subtitles and then times when it wont be read at all. You'll have to check if the subtitles will be read on the anime by just playing a episode, I also recommend watching dubs in case you ran into one that the subtitles may not be read out, chances are you'll be able to watch the anime in english dub.
Apple music lyrics
If you have Apple Music, VoiceOver will read the lyrics if they are meant to display in time with the track. Not all songs to this, so some will just show the lyrics which you read manually. Still others don't show lyrics at all. I find this very helpful for memorizing lyrics, assuming they are accurate.

I think having VO read the lyrics in time with the music would get annoying quickly, so I turned that off. I do sometimes like to tap the lyrics button and read them with my Braille display.
