To Use the Kindle App Text-to-Speech (if your textbook is in kindle format)?
Answer
Using the Kindle App Text-to-Speech:
Before enabling Text-to-Speech, one must verify if the feature is supported on their Kindle app. Users should ensure their device's operating system is up-to-date and consult the app's details for any specific compatibility requirements. Not all Kindle books are enabled for Text-to-Speech due to publisher restrictions.
Activating Reading Aloud on Kindle App:
To activate the reading aloud functionality:
- On Kindle e-readers: Look for the Text-to-Speech option in the book's menu.
- On iOS and Android devices: Utilize the device's native accessibility features, since the Kindle app alone does not offer Text-to-Speech.
- iOS user: Activate VoiceOver or Speak Screen.
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.
- Toggle on Speak Screen.
- Swipe down with two fingers to start reading aloud.
- Android user: Leverage Text-to-Speech Output.
- Access Settings > Accessibility.
- Select Text-to-Speech Output and adjust your preference.
Some users might prefer integrating Amazon Alexa to read aloud their Kindle books through voice commands. This can be set up through the Amazon Alexa app and linked to the Kindle app for a seamless audio book experience.
