This is the first time I have heard support for Read Aloud on the Mac using 
text to speech from the Kindle app.

Unfortunately, the Kindle app is not accessible with VoiceOver on the Mac so I 
recommend using Windows, IOS, iPad OS, windows, or an amazon fire Tablet.

Some Kindle books can be read with the Echo and Echo Dots.

Subject: MacBook, Voiceover, and Kindle

 

Hello, 

 

Using Kindle on a MacBook, is there any way of accessing the actual text of the 
book for the purpose of selecting and copying text or for allowing Voiceover to 
read the text? The Kindle app on the MacBook allows for text to speech built 
into the app by pressing Command+T, but an individual I am attempting to assist 
would prefer that Voiceover read the text rather than the text to speech built 
into the app doing the reading. We have, of course, attempted to interact with 
the text without success. I know that this can be done on a Windows PC and hope 
it can also be done on a Mac. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Mauricio
