[blindLaw] In Kindle accessible by Jaws or ZoomText?

[tai.tomasi8 at gmail.com]

Teresita,
In the Kindle app for Windows 10, you can try using Amazon's text to speech
by pressing control T to enable text to speech. Then, you can use all of the
keyboard shortcuts listed at the link below. Please note: Amazon states that
the Kindle app works best with NVDA, so it might be worthwhile to install It
for free if you don't already have it. Here is a link to all keyboard
shortcuts, including universal shortcut keys and those for Amazon's own
internal text to speech option:

Dear all,
I was able to access the book via the Amazon Kindle App with my iPhone.
On the other hand, in Windows 10 the app's menus were accessible but not the
text on the book.

Thank you so, so much for the iphone sugestion.

Warmly,
Teresita Rios
