Hi Mary, I finaly got it to talk. What I did was since it was turned on I
pressed the power button for a second and then put my 2 fingers on the
screen and it started talking. I worked on it for over and hour before I
emailed the list but got it talking right after I emailed the list. Thanks
a lot for trying to help. Now I just have to enter my wifi password and I
will be up and running sort of. Thanks again, Bob***

Hi Bob,
I remember hearing a demonstration a while back on a podcast, where the guy
doing the podcast I held his fingers down too long after he heard the tone
that you're supposed to hear. And then the screen reader closed. So you
might try turning your device on waiting to hear the tones, putting two
fingers on the screen, and as soon as you hear the voice view, take your
fingers off and see if that helps. It should work the same way as your 7
did.

HI, I just bought a kindle 8hd and am having trouble getting speech or voice view to stay on. The first time I turned it on I had 2 fingers on the screen. It said to keep my fingers on the screen and then canceled and that was it. Now I can't figure how to turn it off for sure. Any one have any ideas how to get speech to stay on? I have an older 7 inch and that was no trouble at all. Help if you can. Take care, Bob***
