#Kindle text to speech voices portable
The Kindle Fire and Fire HD both use a micro-USB charging cable, which is also a very common charging cable for many other portable electronic devices. Here’s the thing: whichever boat you’re in, you probably already have a compatible wall charger on hand. There are also plenty of people who have a first-generation Fire, which did come with a wall charger, but they’ve lost or damaged that charger and have been forced into either using the USB charging method, or buying a new charger. It came with a USB cable you can use to charge the device by connecting it to your computer, but if you’re like me, you never use your computer to charge your devices and would much prefer to just plug it into an outlet like all your other electronics. Speaking of Kindle Fire HD devices, if you have one, you’ll remember it did not come with a wall charger. You can turn off TTS anytime you like back on the Settings screen. The Play button will change to a Pause button (two vertical lines) tap it to pause the audio. Tap the Play button (right-pointing arrow) to start TTS audio. You will now see an audio control scrollbar at the bottom of your screen. Then tap anywhere on the book page to close the menu. Once you’ve found the TTS option, tap “On” to turn it on. If Text To Speech isn’t on the first Settings page, tap the More link to go to page 2. It’s the square with the differently-sized letter A’s on it. To activate TTS, open a TTS-enabled book (its Amazon product page will say if TTS is enabled or not), tap the upper part of the Fire HD’s screen to open the book menu, and select Settings. But while poking around on the new HD device to test it, I discovered pretty much by accident that TTS is there on the Kindle Fire HD, though of course, only for books where the publisher has enabled TTS. Amazon was oddly silent on the matter, which led many to assume TTS was still missing from the Fire. When Amazon unveiled its new, HD line of Kindle Fire devices last year, TTS fans anxiously waited to hear if it would be included on the new devices. Many Kindle owners who are not sight-impaired made regular use of TTS as well.

It’s nowhere near as a good a reading as you’ll get with an audiobook narrated by a professional actor or voice actor, but for the sight-impaired it’s a godsend.

Where the publisher has enabled this feature, TTS reads the Kindle book aloud to you using text-recognition software and a computerized voice. TTS is a feature that originated with the original, monochrome Kindle device. The first-generation Kindle Fire was rolled out without Text To Speech (TTS) functionality, which upset and annoyed the many fans of this feature.
