Hi Yusuf.Yep, I think I'll do that, though from what I've heard the voice is pretty dam awful.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Yusuf

But I'm pretty sure that the voice is the same. John Galegher's demo of the Kindle is on Blindcooltech I believe, also you could just download the Kindle PC software and get one of the free titles to test out the speech.

Hi Yusuf. Are there any demos I can listne to? All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: YusufSent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 12:29 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Kindle Accessibility No you can't use Jaws or any other screenreader voice to read books on the Kindle. You will have to use the TTS that the Kindle supports.
