Voice Wont Turn Off (I never turned it on)

[flamingeagle]

There appears to be a voice option on my Kindle that will not turn off. It is not the same as the experimental "voice to text" option, which is already turned off. It is some separate voice function that reads the location of wherever I am. For example, if I press the arrow key to go over my fantasy collection, it says "Fantasy Collection, 44 items, item 5 of 10". I don't know where this voice came from, but I would like to turn it off. I have tried resetting the kindle, and that didn't work.

Again, the 'Text-to-Speech' function is already turned off. Does anyone know where I can find and disable this voice? Thanks for any help.

It's not the Text To Speech function which reads the book to you, this is the Voice Guide function which reads out the menus etc for people who have sight problems, because you can't change the font size on menus.

To turn it off, go to Menu-->Settings - at the top of page 2 of the settings you'll see 'Voice Guide'. Click on 'turn off' to stop the voice!

Oh and welcome to Kindleboards!
