Language, voice, reading support and eligibility
Personalise how the tutor speaks and how a learner receives help.
For: Teacher, Centre Manager, Super Admin
- Open the prominent Language, voice and reading support button beside the learner. Choose the home/strongest language and the supported explanation languages to repeat.
- Record academic language order, simple/chunked/standard instructions, text size, speaking speed, voice and preferred device accent. These are support needs, not diagnoses.
- Enable the personalised AI tutor for the learner only after recording a current consent/eligibility reference and review expiry. Device read-aloud is always available; AI voice, Quick Voice and live conversation have separate permissions.
- Under AI voice, choose Read aloud question, Interactive AI voice and AI recording with transcription independently, then press Save AI voice settings. New learners start with AI voice off; existing choices are preserved. Refresh the learner’s activity after saving.
- Read aloud question uses AI for questions and prepared explanations. Interactive AI voice enables live conversation and spoken tutor replies. AI recording with transcription turns a stopped recording into text. Quick voice needs both interactive voice and transcription; device Listen and local recording remain available without either.
- Admins choose Teachers and admins or Only admins under Who can change these options. A teacher cannot change locked choices, including through an older form. For example, enable Interactive AI voice and transcription, leave Read aloud question unchecked, and lock the choices to admins.
- Disabling AI voice ends active live calls and cancels queued spoken replies. Device listening and local spoken drafts remain available. Admin enablement still requires the centre external-voice switch; new cloud requests also need current eligibility and available budget. Live conversation needs its own learner and centre permissions.
- Attach a private PDF, PNG or JPEG up to 10 MB if available. Files are encrypted and restricted to authorised staff; new uploads preserve earlier evidence and downloads are audited.
- Managers may require uploaded evidence in AI & spending. It is optional by default; a required missing document or expired eligibility blocks AI. Private evidence is never sent to the tutor.
- In Guide or Solve, choose Guide for clues or Solve for worked solutions. An administrator can lock either mode. A mode change ends existing live calls and invalidates pending replies under the old mode.
