Look for the "Listen" button or a small speaker icon that appears in Canvas Navigation. Some courses may have the tool permanently available via a small Speaker icon or a Listen button located at the bottom-left or bottom-right of your screen, which will activate the reading toolbar. Once you click on the “Listen” button or the small speaker icon, ReadSpeaker player will jump to the top of the content page you are on within your course. Once you click on the Next or Previous buttons, ReadSpeaker will return to its original location in the Canvas Navigation. 

Once you see the "Listen" button, you can start using the tool right away: 

• Click the "Listen" Button: Click the play button on the ReadSpeaker player that appears. The player will start reading the entire page content from the beginning. 
• Highlight and Read Selected Text: To hear only a specific section, simply highlight the text you want to hear with your mouse or finger, and then click the small pop-up play button that appears next to your selection. 

For uploaded documents (like PDFs, Word files, or PowerPoint presentations) found in your course: 

• Look for a document icon with a speaker next to the file name. 
• When you open the document, look for the DocReader toolbar at the top, and click the play button to begin listening to the document. 

Click the Settings button (usually a gear icon) on the ReadSpeaker toolbar to personalize your experience: 

• Adjust Voice: Change the voice, language, and reading speed. 
• Change Colors: Customize the text and highlight colors. 
• Reading Aids: Use tools like the Page Mask (to dim the screen except for a focused line) or Enlarge Text (to show the current phrase in a large banner).
