Hi Mary!
Why can't you read kindle books on your i-pad mini? Can't you just download the
kindle app and read books on your tablet with that app? It works fine on my
i-phone. Does it not work on the i-pad mini?

Joey works for some books. And Amy is OK. I just have a thing about British
accent. Sorry folks from the UK. I realize I'm being very provincial. Lots of
people do like Karen. I do have Kendra still on my iPad mini, which is where
I read a lot of my books, although not kindle books, since I can't. But voice
dream reader has that option still.

Hi Mary, I know what you mean about Sally, Sometimes she works and sometimes
she doesn't. It depends on the book. (smile) I like Amy though, and also I
think her name is Karen, from Australia. I love Kendra, but she's not there,
sadly. You may find another one that you like though. I can't say much for
any of the male voices. But if there's one you like, he might be there. If
there is, let me know and I might try it. (smile) Faith

Thanks, faith. Language and input. I admit I didn't look there. Smile. I was
hoping that Amazon in his infinite wisdom would have put the Kendra voice up
for those of us who like that voice particularly. I really despise the
default female voice, Sally. She sounds to me like a snotty teenager. And I
don't want a snotty teenager reading my books. Smile. I know speech
synthesizers are a matter of personal taste. But since Amazon owns all of
the portfolio that used to be the independent company I vona, I wish they
would do the right thing and put all of the voices up. Oh well, I guess they
haven't.

Hi Mary, I haven't found any way to add more voices except more languages
like the UK voices or Australia etc. Other than that, I don't know. You can
go into language and input, I believe, in the settings, and find those.
They're free, and not bad. Faith

Are used to know how to do that. My husband has an HD eight, the one from
this current year. And he turned on the screen reader and I went to try to
find out whether there were any more voices available than was the case a
yea're ago. And I couldn't remember how to do it. Searching through the
section on voice view in the settings didn't turn up anything very likely.
So, I'm asking here. Thanks for a pointer.
