[NJTechDiv] Kindle books

Tue Jun 7 16:45:31 UTC 2022

Dear NFB tech: I have some humorous things to say about Kendall before I tell you more. And then I have a bonus humor thing first of all I’m candle I ordered this book because it didn’t say it cost anything and my sister said I’m not paying over $100 at a ride with laughter rolling on the floor laughing. Second I was using my Amazon AC ECHO, and I press the wrong button for her Kindle know her for her Amazon ECHO and played in her house and she hated the music I liked it it was funny. Now I will tell you on Kindle they don’t give you the prices and they anymore than they do on Audible. You have to know how to use the Amazon app or the website, I’m not too good with the website or the Amazon app. So are you cited help when I use Kindle, with Amazon they tell you if you need a credit or not on Audible I can use Audible because they tell you but one thing I do know if it says Kindle unlimited it is free if you have a Kindle account but you do have to pay to join Kindle but I’m with my sister there that’s between the NFB. I’m blind she helps me she can see and she’s great. So that’s all I have to say it about Kindle I don’t use the app by myself. I ordered $20 book for my sister in print and I’m sorry she didn’t want to pay for it because it wasn’t for her it was for me and that’s funny too. Rolling on the floor laughter

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.
