How to Use TTS in the Android Kindle App?

Absolutely! I switched to a third-party engine on my Moto G, and it improved the performance significantly.

Playing devil’s advocate here, but isn’t it a bit annoying how TTS can be hit or miss? It feels like Kindle should optimize this better.

You have a point, greenjerry! Sometimes it’s like a game of TTS roulette. One day it works, the next it doesn’t! :joy:

Using TTS in the Kindle app has revolutionized my reading! I often listen while commuting. It’s a great way to make the most of my time! Anyone else find their reading habits change?

Absolutely! I usually pick lighter novels for TTS. They keep me engaged without needing to follow along visually. What are some of your go-to titles?

I’ve been looking into this too! I’ve found that listening to classics via TTS can be quite enriching. Also, I often pause to reflect on certain passages. Has anyone tried this?

Yes! It can enhance understanding, especially with complex texts. I do this during walks—what a combo! Any recommendations for complex titles?

For deeper works, I usually switch between reading and listening. It’s a great balance; I don’t miss out on either experience! Plus, it helps retention. Anyone else do this?

Sometimes I feel that TTS removes some of the beauty of reading, especially with poetry. But, the convenience is hard to argue! What do you all think about this balance?

I get that! Sometimes, I think TTS is great for understanding plot lines but not the best for denser prose. It really depends on the book’s style.

I love TTS! It makes long books feel shorter! I particularly enjoy it for fantasy and sci-fi titles. Any other genres that people find work great with TTS?

I think biographies and non-fiction also lend themselves well to TTS. You can absorb information while on the go!

Honestly, I just started using TTS and I can’t imagine going back! I sometimes listen while cooking. It really makes chores more fun! Who else multitasks with TTS?

Count me in! I’m always listening while cleaning or running errands. It’s like having a book companion wherever I go!
