Yes it’s for audiobooks that one downloads or converts him or herself to MP3;
as well as for TV material one records for him/herself in MP3: Smart Audiobook
Player allows yu to resume whre you left off; in a book for instance, it tells
you total time, time gone by etc. it’s an awesome app!

Is this for audio books like Bard and Audible?

Speaking of accessible apps on our Fire Tablets (I’m running a 7th Generation
7-inch 8GB model of course with the Play Store previously installed since it
gives me more variety and options to be honest) and the best accessible app,
so far, for both audiobook reading, and listening to MP3s of TV material, is
“Smart AudioBook Player” whose download link is
Smart AudioBook Player - Aplicaciones en Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer&hl=es
It’s such an awesome app! Very intuitive to use; allows you access to both
the internal and external SD (I’ve stuff on both memories on mine) if yu get
the paid version (which I hope to do someday because I’d like to support the
developper for such an outstanding job he’s doing to be honest with you’ll)
yu get features not found not even on the Victor Reader Stream) like Volume
boost, two fast-forward and fast-rewind modes, and so many awesome features
that i’d like to let you guys discover them for yourselves, thus I really
recommend this! Thanks to Smart AudioBook Player, I?m getting much more use
out of the tablet in this realm! Hope this helps some.

Hi David,
Voice Aloud is a reading app, se
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperionics.avar
for the app itself. Note that they use the @ sign at the
beginning of the app’s name. It works fairly well, I like VoiceDream for the
iPhone better, but VoiceDream for Android isn’t nearly as good. One good
thing with Android, readers let you choose your TTS and there are quite a
few choices.
As for Eloquence, I used the one on the Play store, yes, I
just logged in with my Google account and grabbed it, nothing special. I
could not, as I said, get VoiceView to use it, nor could I get Talkback/AAS
to run. So far, I can only use Eloquence for reading.
HTH,
Aman

Hi, Aman.
Could you talk more about Voice Aloud, what it is and where you acquired it.
I'm assuming that you installed Eloquence from the Google Play Store and not
from the Fire app store?.

Hi,
The Fire’s keyboard support is a disappointment, though both
OTG and Bluetooth keyboards work. The disappointment is in the use of the
screen reader commands with the keyboard. I would be overjoyed to be wrong,
but I have been told by reliable people that it’s not possible to execute
screen reader commands from the keyboard. It is possible to type, and to
navigate in a rudimentary way, and the Logitech K380 works quite nicely, in
my experience.
As for Bookshare, I have installed Voice Aloud and eloquence without
trouble. Reading works fine, but I cannot use Eloquence with VoiceView. I
suspect EasyReader would work, but haven’t actually tried it as I don’t like
the program itself on any device. Given that Bookshare is providing Epubs, I
would be surprised if you couldn’t find a reader to your taste on the Kindle
even if you don’t like voice aloud and EasyReader.
HTH,
Aman

What I would like is a good tutorial on the fire, like the one Mystic Access
has on the iPhone. Hint, hint, hint. The basic tutorial on things like voice
view is fairly good, but the user guide just puts me on the amazon screen.
Without a find function, that's a lot of listening to get to not very much
information. Of course, I could be using it wrong. Only got my fire 8 on
Christmas eve. No, not a present. My own decision. I think I'm going to like
it, but feel a little lost. I haven't set it up for Bard yet, but it does
read audible very well and I think I'm going to like the voice better than
the iPhone for the few kindle books I have. I know it's not good for
bookshare yet, but whoo knows in the future. The nice thing is that the
pressure is off. Nothing is at stake on this. The things I need to do I can
do on the other devices I have, but it's going to be fun to learn a new one.
Anyone recommend a keyboard? Something as small as the device? Or should I
make the plunge and go for the Orbit, when my finances recover. I could use
the Braille Note Touch, but the two together are rather big and clunky.
I won't even start on my questions about music. This post is long enough.
