Echo integrates with the SpeechStream text-to-speech tool

To enable SpeechStream:

1. Scroll to the SpeechStream card in Domain Settings.
2. Enter your SpeechStream URL in the designated field. You get this URL when you set up your SpeechStream account with Texthelp.
3. Save. This setting is applied to all courses and subdomains.

With SpeechStream enabled, the Activities toolbar displays a Text to speech button for Assignments and Rich-text activity types.

Pressing the button (which looks like an ear) hides and shows the SpeechStream toolbar that reads the assignment text aloud using the play button.

Depending on your configuration with Texthelp, your SpeechStream toolbar can offer additional tools. (learn more).
