Provided you have this checked as an option in Voice View settings clicking
the power button 3 times should turn off Voice View and turn it on again.
Regarding the volume – if you are talking about headphone /earphone volume this
is by default set to an absurdly limited low volume.
You need to go into Sound settings and confirm that you want to raise maximum
volume.
Apart from that I also use an small headphone amplifier between the Kindle and
my headphones to also increase the volume as I have severe hearing impairment.
You may not need this.
I can root out the model number of the amplifier I use but firstly I would
check the volume in sound settings to see if that solves your problem.

Subject: [vi-kindle] 3 general questions
Please refresh my memory. Is there a command which will temporarily disable
the voice view screen reader? I don't mean to mute speech, I want to disable
the screen reader when my sighted grand daughter wishes to use the tablet.
Second, if there is no way to disable the screen reader other than going into
settings, what is the procedure to enable voice view after the tablet has
booted?
Third, although I have enabled Alexa in the settings, I have forgotten how to
wake her up. So, for example, what is the procedure to ask for the local
weather?
Frankly, I have had this Kindle for perhaps three years but seldom use it
because the volume is quite low especially when run on battery power.
Thanks in advance for responses.
