To use Text-To-Speech in NavigatorSearch or EBSCOhost databases:

Once you've run a search in Navigator/EBSCO, click on the name of the document you'd like to read.
Click the Access Options button and select Online Full Text.
In the Online Full Text viewer, click the Headphone icon in the top-right corner. This will open the audio controls. You will have the option to download an MP3 version, change the playback speed or volume, or change the text highlight color.

For further instructions, please see EBSCO's help page.
