[Cabs-talk] Kindle 3 has TTS for Menus and Books!

[Kevin Chao]

The new Kindle 3 that is on pre-order, which will be available late August
now has text-to-speech for menus and books.
* Expanded text-speech options. New text-to-speech enabled menus allow you
to navigate the Kindle without having to read menu options. You can not only
listen to books aloud (certain ones, anyway) but content listings on the
home screen, item descriptions, and all menu options. [Great for schools
now.]
Please visit the following page for full details on all the new features in
Kindle 3.

This couldn't' have been done without the push of the National Federation of
the Blind and other organizations. It is great to have more and more
products that come with universal access, where we don't have to pay
anything extra for access. Can see this happening more and more as we
progress.
Thanks,
Kevin Chao
