How to open Speak Screen on iPhone programmatically with Swift?

Question

Is there any way to enable the option of settings "Speak Screen" on iPhone programmatically with Swift?

The Settings URL Schemes have been abandoned in iOS 11 (Feb 27th, 2018). — Vincent, Feb 27 '18 at 13:47

You can only open settings app

  guard let settingsUrl = URL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) else {
            return
        }

        if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settingsUrl) {
            if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
                UIApplication.shared.open(settingsUrl, completionHandler: { (success) in
                    print("Settings opened: \(success)") // Prints true
                })
            } else {
                // Fallback on earlier versions
            }
        }

Thanks, @Sh_Khan. As you know, there are some SettingsURL schemes, which you can find here: https://gist.github.com/tzmartin/b7019c22fc3152a0b2fe. But it seems there is no one for Speak Screen. I wonder if there is any way to create a custom URL Scheme by myself? – Vincent Feb 27 '18 at 10:38
the only thing that works is open touch with **App-prefs:root=TOUCHID_PASSCODE** – Shehata Gamal Feb 27 '18 at 10:55
Thanks. Any way, the Settings URL Schemes have been abandoned in iOS 11. – Vincent Feb 27 '18 at 13:46

You can still open Settings iOS11:

if let settings = URL(string: "App-Prefs:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY/SPEECH"), 
UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(settings) {
   UIApplication.shared.open(settings, options: [UIApplication.OpenExternalURLOptionsKey.universalLinksOnly : false]) { (success) in
         print("open settings: \(success)")
   }
}

Here are different Settings paths from another answer:

App-Prefs:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY
App-Prefs:root=AIRPLANE_MODE
