Can Kindle on iPhone read to you?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

The Kindle reading app for iOS does have the capability to read books aloud to you using the VoiceOver accessibility feature. This feature is specifically designed for users with visual impairments or those who prefer to have text read aloud to them.

To enable VoiceOver on your iPhone, you can go to the “Settings” app, then select “Accessibility” and choose “VoiceOver” under the “Vision” category. Once VoiceOver is enabled, you can launch the Kindle app and it will provide audio support for many books and features.

When VoiceOver is activated, the app will read the text on the screen aloud, including the book content and menu options. It will also provide spoken feedback for gestures and actions performed on the screen.

The VoiceOver feature offers various customization options to suit individual preferences. You can adjust the speaking rate, change the voice, and even enable or disable specific features. These settings can be accessed through the “Settings” app on your device, under the “Accessibility” section.

I personally find the VoiceOver feature on the Kindle app to be quite useful. It allows me to enjoy books even when my eyes are tired or when I’m engaged in other activities. I can simply plug in my headphones and listen to the book being read to me.

Furthermore, the audio support provided by VoiceOver is not limited to just book content. It also extends to other features within the Kindle app, such as navigating through the library, accessing settings, and even highlighting and taking notes.

The Kindle reading app for iOS supports the VoiceOver accessibility feature, allowing users to have books and various features read aloud to them. This feature enhances the accessibility of the app for individuals with visual impairments or those who prefer audio support while reading.
