You know, NVDA is one of the screenreaders that will work with the Kindle App for PC and enable TTS on all Kinle books. Theoretically, anybody could download and use NVDA since it is open source and free, thus giving the masses access to TTS on the PC Kindle App. I bet most sighted people are not going to give a hoot, however, just like they wouldn't care if TTS was enabled on their Mac if Voice Over was turned on. Just something to think about. On Jan 19, 2011, at 9:15 PM, Mary Otten wrote:
