Can I modify Click Speak to add inflection or expression?
You can modify the speed and quality of the ClickSpeak voice so that it is more appealing to the listener. For instructions on modifying the voices in ClickSpeak, click here.
Click, Speak is a free text-to speech tool and, like many ‘screen readers,’ does not add inflection or emotion as it reads text. We do feel, however, that having the option of hearing the text is essential in providing access for many students. Click, Speak is just an add-on, not part of Strategy Tutor. If you find another text-to-speech tool that works with the Firefox browser and that you feel better meets the needs of your students, you can add that to the Firefox toolbar instead.
