Services

The Services menu is available in almost all Mac OS X applications. It provides a way that other applications can provide extra functions, or perform some action on the selected text. Narrator offers a service to other applications: choosing the > Services > Narrator > New Document with Selection command when you have some text selected in another application (that supports the Services menu) will launch Narrator (if it isn't already running) and create a new document containing that text. You can then use the Casting Assistant or add Characters yourself. This feature makes it very easy to use Narrator to speak some text from wherever you come across it.

Note: Due to the way Mac OS X works, you need to install Narrator in the Applications folder, or a few other standard locations, for it to offer the service. Also, you will need to launch Narrator before the operating system will detect the service for the first time.
