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.
