Kindle whispersync for voice not working how to#
No clue how to fix this, and customer support hasn't been that helpful thus far. If it is connected to the internet, but your whispersync is not turned on.
This means if you own both the audiobook and the Kindle Book of the same title, you are able to seamlessly transition from one to the other without losing your place. The feature can be accessed from the 'Accessibility' menu in the settings. For example, if I go to the first page of chapter 4 in the kindle, then switch to the audiobook, it moves me to the correct sentence at the start of that page, but lists it as being chapter 5 rather than 4. To allow automatic syncing, we must keep our device connected to a wireless network. Many audiobooks are now Whispersync for Voice and Immersion Reading enabled. Kindle's 'Screen Reader' option (formerly Voice Guide) is an accessibility feature that uses voice narration of menu and page selections. What's really frustrating is that the audiobook and kindle book sync up (as in, if I read the kindle copy then switch to the audiobook, it will ask me if I want to go to the last page read), but the sync isn't perfect. It, however, doesn't work with immersion reading (the option just isn't there, despite being Whispersync for voice enabled), and it's driving me up the wall! It works just fine with immersive reading.Īround the same time I bought The Fellowship of the Ring, didn't click the "add audible narration" tick box, but bought the audiobook from audible immediately after, and the same discount was applied.
I purchased the Kindle edition of The Hobbit and clicked the tick box to add audible narration.
