How Do I Configure Text-to-Speech and Audio Clips?

Deck.Toys can read study-set text aloud. Choose a language for each term and definition in the Study Set editor; the available choices include English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, and other languages. Use Immersive Reader for supported Signposts and Slide Activities.

English is the default for a new Study Set. Text-to-speech voices can vary by device and browser, so preview the lesson on a student device.

Change the language via the drop-down list within the study set. Example below shows the term in Chinese and the definition in English:

Note: In Chinese, the 'hanyupinyin' will not be read. Only the Chinese characters will be read. Upload your own voice clip if you need this to be read.

This example shows both the term and definition language in French.

If you choose Other language, the built-in text-to-speech control does not read that text.

If you would like to your students to upload voice clips to you, you can do it with the Voice Slide App.

You can also upload your own voice clip onto the study sets and Slide Activities with Audio Clip Slide App! This feature is exclusive to our Pro plan users.
