MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Kindle for iOS 6.2: Speak Screen support is broken

It was working fine not that long ago (and has for almost as long as Speak Screen feature has existed), but now when it turns the page, it begins reading the last paragraph on the page, skipping over all the text that preceded it on that page. (And yes, I used the Feedback thing in the app to report it to Amazon, FWIW.)

VoiceOver continuous reading works as expected. But unless you need navigate by touch it is a pain to use.

I have iOS version 11.2.6 (the latest) but I think 11.2.5 was the same. So I think Amazon broke it with one of their recent updates (it works with iBooks for example).

Wonder if anyone has some other data points to contribute (older iOS version, older Kindle app version).
