Amazon.com is releasing a new version of Kindle for PC that adds accessibility 
features designed for blind and low-vision customers.  

 

Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin is a free, downloadable application for 
your Windows PC.  It provides the following accessibility features:

text-to-speech reading with adjustable voice settings, voice-guided menu 
navigation, large font sizes, high contrast reading mode, keyboard navigation, 
and accessible shortcuts.  

 

With this software, for the first time ever, the entire collection of English 
language books in the Kindle Store can be read aloud.  With over

750,000 English language titles, Amazon offers the largest selection of 
accessible ebooks.  In order to use the text-to-speech feature, an external 
screen reader program must be installed and running on the Windows PC.
