<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The feature is definitely still available in Mojave. Here’s how to enable it:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">1. Go to System Preferences</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">2. Choose Accessibility</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">3. Choose Accessibility Features</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">4. Choose Speech.</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">5. Choose the voice you wish to use. (default is Alex system voice)</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">6. If you wish, you can set the speaking rate here too.</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText">7. Check “Speak selected text when a key is pressed”.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">8. The default <span style=""> </span>key combination is Option + Escape.<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Now the student just needs to select the desired text and press Option + Escape to have the text read.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hope this helps.</span></p>
