when I use VoiceView on kindle, how to pause it and start it at specified position
Hello
I have question regarding voiceview of kindle, after TTS is working, how to stop it and how to start it ?
It looks it can only start from the begining of page , so how to pause it and start it at specified position ? if i'm on page 2,how to start voiceview on page 6 , the second paragraph ?
I didn't find answer from your help page https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202006400
Thanks a lot

It is worth taking a few minutes to go through the on-device Tutorial.

To pause: tap with two fingers
Turn page: swipe left or right with two fingers
resume: 'quickly' swipe down with two fingers held close together

I find this last gesture tricky to execute, but it takes a little practice. Note that if a word is selected, it will begin reading at that point.

The tutorial in this case does not involve reading anything as it is designed for people with visual impairments. In fact I would recommend doing it with eyes closed.

But yes, reading the directions is something I do only as a last resort.
