A guide to get around the Kindle app's lack of text-to-speech (x-post from /r/Android) (self.kindle) submitted 5 years ago by jnish I wanted to listen to books I've purchased on the Kindle store for my commute to work, but to my dismay the Kindle android app has no text-to-speech support (some of the Kindle eReaders do). May 14, 2018 If you have a book on your Kindle in which text-to-speech feature is included, open it. Press the “Aa” button on the keyboard. Scroll to “turn on” with the five way controller and click on it.
While it's not exactly the most dramatic reading in the world, Kindle's have long had a text-to-speech option for those looking to have their Kindle's read to them. If you're more of a fan of iBooks, Cult of Mac shows off how to make your Mac do the same thing in Mavericks.
If you're on your iPhone or iPad, you can always turn on the VoiceOver setting (Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver) to have your phone read your books out loud, but that wasn't possible on the Mac. With Mavericks, all you need to do is open up iBooks, then hit Edit > Speech > Start Speaking. Your Mac will keep reading until your hit Edit > Speech > Stop Speaking. Having a robotic voice read a book to you isn't for everyone, but if you're a fan of the feature on your Kindle, now it's possible on the Mac.
