Chapter 3 Reading on Kindle

3.By default, content is spoken with a male voice, but using the 5-way, you can select a female speaking voice. You can also slow down or increase the rate of speech as well as pause or turn off Text-to-Speech.

4.While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will update to the corresponding page of text.

For PDF files and books which the rights holder does not allow Text-to-Speech to read aloud their content, then “Text-to-Speech” will be dimmed and you will not be able to select it.

By default, Text-to-Speech starts reading at the beginning of the page currently displayed. To start reading at a particular spot, move the cursor where you’d like the reading to begin before starting Text-to-Speech.

Tip: You can also play or stop Text-to-Speech by holding down the Shift key		and
pressing the Symbol key	. You can pause and resume Text-to-Speech by pressing

the Space bar. Text-to-Speech continues playing even if you put your Kindle to sleep by sliding and releasing the power button. Sleeping your Kindle while Text-to-Speech is playing allows you to continue listening but locks all of the keys and buttons so you don’t inadvertently press one.
