Just ordered a fire and been doing well with my kindle keyboard. What is
voice dream reader? I actually like the kindle keyboard male voice for
reading. Is this available?
Thanks.

OK thanks for that clarification.
I did not want it as my default voice anyway as I think it is confusing to
have a book reading TTS and a system TTS which is identical.
Eloquence shows up fine in voice Dream Reader so I guess it can be used
there but apparently not as a system voice.
I suppose you could try installing talkback which would presumably pick it
up but I will not personally go that route. If I want to read Kindle with
Eloquence I will use my old Android phone.

David: I did install Code Factory's Eloquence from the Google Play Store,
but since Kindle Fire uses Voice View and not Voice Assistant (Formerly Talk
Back,) While installation was successful, only the two voices in the Ivona
Voice Engine is shown and other engines are ignored by Voice View.
