Device voice, recorded drafts and Quick Voice
Choose between listening, careful spoken practice and faster spoken chat.
For: Student, Teacher, Centre Manager, Super Admin
Look for: Speak to my AI tutor · Record a spoken draft
- Listen with device voice is always available and reads displayed text using an installed voice when the student presses Listen. It does not start automatically or use the AI budget. A matching local voice must be installed; the app does not silently send text to a cloud voice when one is missing.
- AI voice is an optional, separately labelled choice enabled by an authorised teacher or admin in Students & plans → the learner → Language, voice and reading support. An admin override takes priority. The centre external-voice switch also applies. Saved AI recordings use these permissions but replay without a new AI call; new speech generation and transcription also use the existing eligibility and budgets.
- Record a spoken draft to practise your answer. Start, speak clearly, stop and replay it. When cloud transcription is allowed, transcribe and check the words before using a formal answer.
- Quick voice: speak and send is for informal tutor chat. Clear speech is transcribed, sent to the text tutor and can receive spoken output. Unclear words or website-like text require confirmation.
- A microphone icon and sound meter help identify recording controls. Allow microphone permission, speak close enough and stop when finished; recordings stop at 60 seconds.
- The recorded pipeline uses separate transcription, text tutor/checker and speech-generation operations. It differs from a continuous live call.
- Use the learner’s strongest supported language for maths. Do not spend most of the maths lesson correcting English unless English practice is the goal.
