Thanks Lori.  I see where to get different voices, and I’ll check out Daniel 
and Eva.

And both your messages came in at the top of the message, so you’re doing 
the right thing.

Hey, I have a suggestion for you and I have a question. Please and thank 
you!!! I’ll give you the question first and then something for you, my 
question is can you use Kindle without putting numbers on the Internet 
credit card numbers or PayPal? And now going back to the comment I use book 
share regularly here and I use voice over ice go in I get the voice of 
Daniel I go into settings, I go under accessibility, or an iPod touch six 
generation might be different I don’t know exactly how it’s done on an 
iPhone, I don’t use an iPhone. You go and you get to speech go to 
accessibility you go to voiceover and he get the speech and their many 
voices to pick from the voice that is already on the machine let’s say 
Samantha you get there US English you tap on it and you go down and then you 
go to the English voices and you go to the Mail one his name is Daniel, and 
to me that is a pleasant voice. That’s the only voice I use on a regular 
part on the right killer time. I showed somebody who didn’t like books on 
book share or with a mechanical voice, Daniel and I let her hear the voice 
and she liked it. I’m going to go slowly. I go to settings.. I go to 
anywhere when I can get voice over.. I go to speech.. And then I tap on the 
original voice of the machine side Samantha.. Tap it will be under US 
English. Scroll down and you go through South African English, Australian 
English Irish, and and then you go to English from England.. You go to the 
name Daniel.. Double tap on Daniel.. You might have to download his voice or 
you might have to go to his voice and keep it and after you go to his voice 
you have to go back and immediately tap on the name Daniel else your message 
and then you’ll hear his voice continue and then back to Inc. winding 
College and then back to Food voices back to speech all the way all the way 
back to Settings. I hope maybe someone can help you if you need more help. I 
wish I could give you a chance to hear the voice of Daniel.. I will try to 
remember at the next meeting to play him. There are other fair voices like 
Rishi who is it Indian in India Indian, or another English guys voice which 
is not bad I forget the name Muscato white, but to me Daniel is good,. I 
also like Karen from Australia, but I love Daniel. Thank you! Lori. I could 
give you my phone number so I can show you on the phone. You don’t have to 
call me. Or if I am willing to take your phone number if you give it to me. 
My phone number is this. It is only a landline phone. 201.. 391.. 40.. 90... 
201.. 391.. 40.. 90.. Thank you! Hey I’m sorry my dictation is not perfect 
especially in grammar and spelling. Or sometimes I say one thing and mean to 
say another I meant second too late.

  Thanks Rick.  Does auto-scroll work with Kindle books?  I have never tried 
to get Voiceover to read continuously, either with speech or braille.

  Hi Tracy,

  I read Kindle books in Braille all the time. I have the app on my phone, 
which is connected via bluetooth to my Braille display, including the 
EReader. The pages turn automatically.

  I’d like to read a book that isn’t available from either NLS or Bookshare. 
It is available in Kindle, but I’ve never used that.  I guess I’d run Kindle 
on my iPhone.

  Could I use it with a braille display paired with my phone, like the 
eReader?  I gather that’s not as simple as reading an NLS or Bookshare book, 
and I’d have to do something special every time I turned the page?

  And, if I didn’t use the braille display, then I’d just get the crummy 
speech from Voiceover or whatever?  OK for lots of things, but not so great 
for recreational reading.

  Anyone have experience with Kindle books?

  Tracy
