Speech voice

I like to use the text to speech feature as i like to listen to books when i'm doing things. But the female voice the use is absolutely awful.

Stupidly there are is no way to change the voice in the kindle app settings. Does anyone know how to change the voice on a Samsung phone?

I hate that voice too. Below is how to change the setting on a Samsung S23. But since one of the updates to the kindle app from earlier this year, I can no longer get the voice in the app to change. Maybe you can figure it out.

The TalkBack voice is probably only available if you are using Android screen reader. The Assistive Reader voice is built into the Kindle app.

I no longer have an Android device to test this on, but am extrapolating from what Kindle for iOS does, and what Fire tablet does (via VoiceView).
