#Speech bug squish update#
The next update of the software for the the HDX machines will supposedly appear in a few weeks and squish the bug. But Amazon’s tech support people tell me that programmers are at work on the issue. Then choose Amy with the usual tap, return to Text to Speech, and specify her as the Default Voice.Īmy will not function with some TTS-enabled books due to an apparent technical glitch-you’ll hear another voice instead.

In other words: Settings > Language & Keyboard > Text to Speech > Download Additional Voices. Go to the TTS possibilities within your pull-down Settings menu, reachable via a downward swipe from the top left of your screen.

Meanwhile, sure enough, Amy has become a free option on the Kindle HDX models (I don’t know about others). At the end of this post, I’ll reproduce the developer’s list of the new wrinkles in Voice Dream 3.0.0. I’d favor a lower price, but Amy’s charm and vocal talents still make the purchase worth it. I can’t give you the exact price right now since I simply see “Purchased” where the figure should appear. The newest release of Voice Dream (alas, iOS only at this point) is out with a bunch of improvements, including the addition of Amy and other new voices. Later I belatedly discovered Voice Dream Reader, presently my favorite text to speech app for use when exercising. Amy for Austen fans? Peter for Dickens’s? Both voices are just right for public domain classics. The close runner-up at the moment is the baritone voice of Acapela’s “Peter,” U.K. I’m in love with Ivona’s “Amy.” She is my favorite TTS voice right now. Ivona’s almost-human voices might vanish from the offerings of various companies or be AWOL from new products without the K word in their names. Send us feedback about these examples.When Amazon bought out Ivona-home to text-to-speech whizzes-I worried.
