Overdrive Read Narration
Some OverDrive Read eBooks have professionally recorded narration that plays along while you read.
Select Start narration on any page of any narrated OverDrive Read eBook to begin the audio. The narrator will start reading from the top-left. Many narrated eBooks will highlight words, sentences, or paragraphs as the narrator reads them, so readers can follow along. Pages will automatically turn when the narrator reaches the end of the text on the current page. If you'd like the narrator to repeat any word, sentence, or paragraph, simply click on the word you'd like to be read. You can also turn back a page, and the narrator will begin reading from the top-left. To repeat the page you're on, select the first word of the page. Select the Pause narration button at the bottom of the page, if you need to stop reading. You'll find Volume and Speed controls in the Read menu under "Narration." Drag the dial to make adjustments. |
