Voice Commands for Kindle

[msthandi]

hi, I'm in a hunger strike and is becoming difficult to use Kindle because of colder and acheing hands.
Are there voice commands to turn the page in Kindle ? Not featured text-to-speech but rather handsfree operation (I don't have internet regularly or Alexa).

thanks, regards

Which Kindle?

I did have an Amazon Fire 8" but now just the app from Android Play Store in a Huawei. Moved all the content.
Can't find anything related to read handsfree, would have thought it was an accessibility/disability common feature.

thanks, regards

Apps don't Work like you want. IF the device has speakers Try Touch to Speak.... E-book that has this feature WILL play. When you cant handles the reading page turns...use the TTS feature.

Well I found a setting that might be useful, "Use Up/Down volume to turn the page". Now, I don't currently have an earphone with volume control but is an advance from nothing.

thanks, regards

You should be able to connect Bluetooth keyboard to Fire tablet or your Android phone and use arrow key to advance pages. There are also simple Bluetooth remote control devices that are designed to turn pages for slide presentations etc. those should work too. And foot pedals as well though those are more expensive.

For Kindle or actually tablets too you might try a stylus. To make it easier to hold you can get various foam pen/stylus holders that make it easier to hold in your hand with minimal finger effort.

thanks for your suggestions.
I rest in bed and have no money left, however my headphone has 1 play/stop button and I succesfully set it up as a 2D X-Y selector in Android (Huawei ?) "Enhanced Accesibility".
Is not handsfree but I can push the button with any finger warm and rest under the quilt, no further need to raise my hand out for the screen. Works for me !

Continous scrolling might have been nice but seems to be available only for iOS.
