I think it's the Ivona "Salli" voice. Female American English voice.

You just need to install the voice installer, which is described as being for the PW3 only, but which also works on the Voyage. You'll need about 150MB of storage free for the voice files. Alternatively you can just copy the "voice" folder from the PW3 to the Voyage.

No. The voice file is a separate installer. The American one is the only one currently available.

Well I ordered one of these a week ago. The website states that they are in stock, but it still hasn't shipped. I wonder if I should just cancel

I bought these two items from Amazon UK and they work together perfectly. I like the option for text to speech on my Voyage and it works perfectly. For just over £10 I'm very happy.

Looks intriguing. I wonder if this will lead to an e-ink Kindle with audio built in. If I'd buy a Paperwhite if it had built-in audio. Then I could leave my Kindle Keyboard at work.

Hi guys.
I've just recently joined the forums. My brother just bought an Kindle Oasis last week. I was very happy as well because I thought I could use voiceview to read some books with his device as well. (I'm visually impaired) So after getting an audio adapter and a bluetooth headphones, I just realized that the Oasis just... does not have voice files. every time I plug the audio adapter in, It keeps saying me that It can't find the voice files for this device. I went ahead and installed voice files from https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202051910 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202006400 and unfortunately none of those work, the device keeps saying that It can't find the voice files. I'm very frustrated; It appears that amazon has prepared voice files for the paper white and the cheap kindle 8th generation, but the Oasis which is the most expensive one doesn't get to have one. Are there any solutions or workarounds for this? could I find the voice files for oasis from somewhere on the internet? Thanks Cheers |

Hrezaei, assuming you put the files in the right spot (Oasis should have come with them already? or is that only the voice folder?), you might want to double check your language settings. Far as I know it still only works with US American language setting.
