Here in this post I'd like to clarify how to use Text-to-Speech on a variety of Kindle devices and apps.
Here are all the best ways: How to Listen to Kindle Books: Turn Kindle Book into Audiobook. Updated: Besides use Text to Speech, there are many other better ways to listen to Kindle books. Not all Kindle books support TTS, yet most of them do. If TTS is available for your Kindle book, you'll see " Text-to-Speech: Enabled" under the "Product details" on the product description page. To access this feature, getting a TTS-enabled book is the first thing, and the second is to get a device supporting TTS. This function allows your Kindle to read books to you. While some of them translated voice to text well enough, they all charge by the word or page and require minutes (or hours) to complete translation.Įvery speech recognition program I’ve ever used worked better and was more accurate when I used almost any decent third-party microphone or wired headset.Text-to-Speech (TTS) is one of the enhanced features that Kindle books have.

The most expensive and odious option (IMHO) is the Windows version of Dragon Professional (from $300) running on your Mac under emulation like Parallels Desktop (from $63.99), VMWare Fusion Pro ($40), or Boot Camp (free with macOS).Īs odious as I find this option, it is the only one that compares to the late Dragon Professional For Mac feature-wise. That being said, the other two options have obvious advantages: They’re both free, they both work on most modern Macs, and they’re both better than no speech recognition at all. The word “Replace” is in quotes for a reason: Only the most expensive and odious option offers the same (or better) features as the late Dragon Professional for Mac. The other two options are decent and free, but they don’t offer features like voice training or extensive customization. I have found three possible options to “replace” Dragon Professional on the Mac.
