KINDLE DX USER’S GUIDE 3
rd
EDITION Chapter 3 · 88
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 grayed and you will not be able
to select it.
By default, content is spoken with a male voice, but using the 5-way you can select a
female speaking voice. You can also slow down or increase the rate of speech. Text-to-
Speech can be turned off by pressing the Text key and selecting “pause” or “turn off.”
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.
