Your Kindle can read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, magazines, blogs, and personal documents with the Kindle Experimental application, Text-to-Speech.
To turn on Text-to-Speech:
- Press the Text key
. - Select “turn on” next to the “Text-to-Speech” option using the 5-way controller.
- Press the Text key again to adjust the speaking voice and rate.
By default, content is spoken with a male voice, but you can select a female speaking voice. You can also slow down or increase the rate of speech and pause or turn off Text-to-Speech. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the screen will update to the corresponding page of text.
Text-to-Speech starts reading at the beginning of the page currently displayed. To start reading at a particular spot, move the cursor where you’d like the reading to begin before starting Text-to-Speech.
If the “Text-to-Speech” option is grayed and you’re not able to select it, that indicates the rights holder does not allow use of Text-to-Speech for their content.
[stextbox id="info"]Tip: You can also play or stop Text-to-Speech by holding down the Shift key 
and pressing the Symbol key 
. You can pause and resume Text-to-Speech by pressing the Spacebar.[/stextbox]
