Dear Clare

I tried out the Sounds app on the SensePlayer just now. Apart from making me login again it worked OK. I was able to transfer between tabs and play a Music mix.

I would suggest deleting the version you have and re-downloading ?from the app catalogue to see if you get? any better result.

There may be apk packages out there in the wild? which also work.

If you do get into using the app then the navigation keys like 1 to jump to the top and 7 to jump down a page are essential, otherwise? you spend unfeasible parts? of your life navigating through different elements to find the pause button for example.

I think it is 7 to jump to the bottom to the media controls, if not try? using 9 and 3.

I installed eSpeak from the list of supplied apps.

Is it not there anymore?

There was another free synth which I will check out later when I get back to my SensePlayer.

My own experience with eSpeak is that installing it appeared necessary to unlock the capability of Dolphin easy Reader to then be able to download and use the supplied Nuance voices with that app. For some odd reason, for me at least, you could not download the Nuance voices until eSpeak was available. So actually, I installed eSpeak not to use it but to unlock the capability to download Easy Reader in-app voices.

I forgot to mention that I did get access to a Kindle Book via installing Amazon Alexa on the SensePlayer and just getting Alexa to read my Kindle book. In practice though I still use my iPhone for Kindle, as it is much easier to change books etc.

Amazon Alexa is one of those apps which keeps on complaining about needing access to the Google Play Store. You can still bust through the error messages to get some functionality, but it is a bit of a palaver. I think Hims needs to bite the bullet and negotiate some kind of access to the Google Play Store – I suspect that this will cost them some money to register the SensePlayer with Google, so they are likely to run scared of this. Perhaps some discussion with Google Access teams if they have not already done this?
