Can you use other voices? While t is not at all obvious how to do it is still possible to change the voice used in text-to-speech with the Kindle. The big advantage is in being able to read your Kindle formatted books using text-to-speech. However, Word documents, PDF documents will not offer text-to-speech (many other apps do offer this functionality). All of these options are clearly spoken out. Three finger swipe right to left to move to next page, or left to right to go to previous page.Simply do a two finger swipe down to resume continuous reading. For meaning), and you want to return to continuous reading. Suppose you are in single line reading at a time (e.g.(Like Speak Selection only it gives context too.) Single finger tap anywhere to read that line. Single finger tap selects a line of text and reads under the finger.Use a single two finger tap while reading to pause.Use a two finger swipe down to start continuous reading from top of page.Double tap to open the book and start reading from where you left off. In Kindle Library with VoiceOver on, tap once on a book to have full spoken information about each title, author and whether the book is installed.Thereafter, use of text-to-speech is pretty straightforward and quite powerful.

VoiceOver is designed to allow blind and visually impaired people to access iOS So when it is running you activate apps in a slightly different way than the standard iOS approach. To do this go to: Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > On. Kindle Reader uses so if you want to use Kindles text-to-speech functions VoiceOver needs to be installed and running. Now it is possible to use VoiceOver (not Speak Selection though).

It wasnt even possible to use the Speak Selection feature to select a word or chunk of text to have it read out. Blind and visually impaired people who already had purchased Kindle books found that if they downloaded their Kindle books to an iPad it wasnt possible to use the built-in features offered by VoiceOver. Must be they are not prepared to provide information.īefore this update its always been a bit frustrating for readers of Kindle books to find that there was no way to listen to their collection on an iPad. I searched around there a while and can't find anything there. I went to the iTunes App Store, clicked on the Kindle App and went to Developer Website. I say this because the update to the Kindle app to support speaking the selection was just released. Now Kindle books can be read using text-to-speech on an iPad, iPhone or iPod. May Day brought a nice surprise for Kindle readers who use the app on their iOS.
