Greetings to you Flor,
I know this may not be on this mail.
I am so chuffed you put me in touch with Jamal
When, I worked at 'Intel'
I had a rough time with 'Jaws'
And the many accessibility issues linked to
The business 'CRM' (Customer relationship Manager)
And the way us blind folk had to
Battle on these unstable platforms.
I tried Sight and Sound
'U-R-Able-
And after many months we had to have my work
Station scoped. This was at €800 per hour.
So as a blind worker I had a very slow start.
I used a number of stop gap system
And I did present these to Jamal
In my introductory email.
So Flor our Super star
I thank you for your great intuitive thought,
As we speak he may too know some
Better method of getting the famous
Kindle to work for us.
All the best,
Garth Long
Cobh

There's a tool called VoiceView that works with the Paperwhite. For it, you'll
need an 'audio adapter' or Dongle from Amazon. (I don't know whether you can
buy it separately, but the implication is that you can't.)
https://the-digital-reader.com/2016/05/10/voiceview-for-kindle-is-amazons-accessibility-solution/
- which was written in May 2016, at the outset of VoiceView on the Paperwhite.
However, you'll need to research it to try to get firsthand user reviews. It
seems that accessibility on Amazon Kindles has ups and downs as upgrades roll
out.

Hi again,
I have a Kindle Paper white
And I thank you for your great input.
I will look at the Kindle for windows
And see how it pans out.
I do use Jaws and of course, 'NVDA' with some upgraded voice options.
Would I remove the necessary books
From my Kindle And load them on to my Desk topAnd then use the appropriate software?
