Daily Obsession: Amazon Kindle 2 Text-to-Speech

Does anyone know if there's a headphone jack so as not to be annoying to others? It would be a good idea if there was, for us visually impared folk.

@jo3shb Yes, there is

[dekzan]

does it need to be connected for the speech feature to function?

[unzarjones]

From the bits I could hear between the presenter's voice, it doesn't sound bad. Not overly mechanical with decent inflection.

great review. but ugh the text to speech sounds crappy. With today's technology and for the price they really should have made it sound better.

@thajadewolf being visually impaired, I've used many devices that use TTS and the sound quality is fairly good and at less than $200, it's a drop in the bucket for what I spend on my other devices.
