My loaner review unit arrived.
Guess what? This feature works on the Kindle Oasis. |

We know that the Oasis has the TTS voices, so that doesn't come as a complete surprise .

It works on the Voyage, Oasis and Paperwhite. I just copied the voice folder from the Oasis to the Voyage.
You can also build your own Audio Adapter. All you need is a USB host cable (OTG) and an external sound card: http://allesebook.de/anleitung/anlei...eo-demo-69667/ |

Here's a second report on a DIY audio adapter.
https://papierlos-lesen.de/voiceview...erwhite-oasis/ It says you can get the audio files here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202006400 |

I have a post up. I found a few details not mentioned elsewhere, including that removing the Oasis cover will disable Voiceview:

Interestingly (and a little surprisingly!) the voice file installer does indeed work on the Voyage. After running it you get a folder called "voice" containing two files: "lang_en_us.dat" (1.9MB) and "vox_en_us_salli22i" (149MB).
I imagine that at some point there'll be a version available on Amazon UK with a British English voice, and similarly at other national sites. Last edited by HarryT; 05-12-2016 at 12:46 PM. |
