It also perturbed many of the Kindle's longest supporters, who fell in love with audiobook and MP3 support as well as text-to-speech. This saves some hardware and software costs, but limits the use of an E Ink Kindle, especially for older readers. Text-to-speech is for the Kindle Fire only. No speakers, no headphone jack, no text-to-speech.
But with this generation, Amazon cut audio support for its E Ink Kindles. This was a key feature of the early Kindles. Not only can blind and visually impaired readers enjoy your books, you also potentially have instant, automated audiobooks. All are leveraging their commerce clouds, online marketplaces, and device strategies with human-like, natural interfaces.In particular, if you're a company who sells a lot of e-books, good text-to-speech is even more powerful. "Its direct competition is Apple and Google. "The prospect for a talking Kindle to revolutionize mobile online commerce gets more real as assimilates companies like Ivona, as well as its previous acquisition of Yap," says Dan Miller, founder and senior analyst at Opus Research. "We will continue to incorporate Ivona's voice solutions into our Kindle Fire tablets, as well as support Ivona as they distribute their products and services to developers, businesses, and customers around the world." "We share Ivona's passion for innovation and customer obsession, and we look forward to continuing to support their growth," says an spokesperson. Ivona offers 44 female and male voices in 17 languages, with more in development. The Poland-based company has several products, including Ivona Voices Ivona Reader Ivona Studio Ivona Telecom Ivona Speech Server and Ivona Speech Cloud. Additionally, Ivona delivers text-to-speech products and services to thousands of global developers, businesses, and customers. Ivona provided the technology behind the "Text-to-Speech," "Voice Guide," and "Explore by Touch" features on Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
