While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will update to the corresponding page
of text.
For PDF files and books which the rights holder does not allow Text-to-Speech to read
aloud their content, then "Text-to-Speech" will be dimmed and you will not be able to
select it.
By default, Text-to-Speech starts reading at the beginning of the page currently
displayed. To start reading at a particular spot, move the cursor where you'd like the
reading to begin before starting Text-to-Speech.
Tip:
You can also play or stop Text-to-Speech by holding down the Shift key
and pressing the Symbol key
. You can pause and resume Text-to-Speech by
pressing the Spacebar. Text-to-Speech continues playing even if you put your Kindle to
sleep by sliding and releasing the power button. Sleeping your Kindle while
Text-to-Speech is playing allows you to continue listening but locks all of the keys and
buttons so you don't inadvertently press one.
