Hi Garry and All, When Kindle changed their app so the status bar no longer shows while you are in the app, Speak Screen went away. It only works in apps where the status bar shows. Perhaps eMailing the developer would be a good idea. Personally, I now convert Kindle books to ePub and read them in Voice Dream Reader. Codex is a nice free piece of software for doing this.

Re: Speak screen in Kindle app?

Since the app doesn't automatically scroll to the next page when the screen is locked, however, it's not all that useful.

Re: Speak screen in Kindle app?
Hi Harry and all, I can't find any way to make the screen scrol while Speak Screen is active in Kindle books if the screen is locked. This is too bad because it used to be a nice way to read Kindle books. The screen will scroll while reading iBooks with Speak Screen and the screen locked. However, When I tried it, VoiceOver would come on and say something when the page scrolled. So I guess I would have to mute speech when using this feature. I also noticed that when using Speak screen, there are no playback controls on the lock screen, as I'm pretty sure there used to be. The Magic Tap works, so at least it's easy to stop the speaking. At one point, though, I got into a situation where doing the magic tap would alternate between reading my book and playing my previous podcast. The only way I could stop this was to ask Siri to stop speaking the screen. In short, Speak Screen doesn't seem to be as useful as it was in the past. If anyone is finding it useful, please let us know how you're using it.

Re: Speak screen in Kindle app?
Hi Harry and all, I just tried this and had the same experience; the phone didn't turn the page when I got to the end. I know it used to do this. I'll try going through the Kindle settings to see if I can find anything that might help.

RE: Speak screen in Kindle app?
Harry, If you don't mind my asking, does kindle only come with 7 plus phones? I'm asking because I just went into the app store and hit searchtyped in kindle and it didn't bring up Kindle.
