So I have been transferring everything via USB, and they did have the value set as EBOK. If the value is PDOC try changing them to EBOK and transfer them to your Kindle via USB cable (prior to that remove the exist file for the same book from your Kindle) and then test TTS functionality. And also that "ttsflag" you already mentioned. How did you "load" those books your Kindle?Ģ) wireless delivery using "send to email" or "Send to Kindle" apps/extensions?Ĭheck if those books (file copies on the Kindle itself, obviously) with MobiMetaEditor have "cdeType" value as EBOK or PDOC. You can see that I do not have the screenreader turned on and yet it is playing text-to-speech versions of the book when I hit that headphone icon.Īs I said in my initial post I think it must be a difference of the Chinese market. You see that is where I am confused, because it is clearly working on my device as I described it in my post. Currently, the only devices that actually support TTS for Kindle books are the Fire tablets. The last Kindle to support TTS was the Kindle Touch (4th gen I think?). However, it's not as convenient to use as TTS, as it is designed for people with vision impairments (for whom it works very well). VoiceView is not restricted to Kindle Store books.Īll 7th generation and later Kindles support VoiceView screen reader for all titles that are not fixed layout. It means you can download the audiobook and listen to it as well as the ebook (though not simultaneously), and reading position is synchronized between the two formats. The headphone icon indicates a title for which you have an audiobook companion. I tried different formats in Calibre (mobi, azw3, kfx.) I've tried a java MobiMetaEditor I saw suggested in a different thread to enable TTS, but it didn't work.Īnyone know where to look to figure out the answer? While reading it will underline the current sentence.Īs you can see the voiceview screen reader is not turned on.Īnyhow, I haven't been able to figure out how to get side-loaded books to show that headphone icon. When you hit the icon and press play it will try to connect to your bluetooth device. So the rights owners are vigilant on that.)Īnyhow, you can see on compatible books there's a headphone icon (There's a Chinese app which has huge numbers of audiobooks for a small subscription, but no Harry Potter. Most of the books allow TTS, except for the Harry Potter books. Perhaps because my Kindle is purchased in China with a Chinese account, and perhaps in China they're less precious about audiobooks. My Kindle has been able to play TTS from any book purchased from the store (including kindle unlimited). I can't find much information on the Kindle text to speech ability, but I have read about some people going in to the accessibility options and getting TTS functionality from there. I have TTS on my Kindle, but only on kindle store books, I want it to work on books I load from my PC.
