To have your eTextbook read aloud, first highlight the relevant section of text using your cursor and from the option list which appears, select 'Read aloud'. 

Alternatively, if you click on the person icon in the top-right corner of the screen, the entire page will be read aloud. 

You are then able to customise your ‘read aloud’ experience using the popup window in the bottom-right corner of the page. From here you can adjust the speed of the narrator, as well as change the voice reading the content.

If you are accessing through the online reader, Kortext is compatible with the following external read-aloud software: NV Access, JAWS, TalkBack and VoiceOver. 

Due to system limitations regarding publisher content, the Mac app does not currently offer the read-aloud functionality that our other apps do.

More information on Kortext read aloud features can be found on the Kortext Accessibility page.
