Using WebXam TTS

When a student with an IEP has the “A Reader is Required” accommodation set in WebXam, the student’s tests can be read allowed to them via TTS. The TTS feature is only available when using one of the supported browsers. TTS-enabled tests will show a clickable speaker icon to the top right of the question in the test. By clicking on the speaker icon, the question and answers will be audibly spoken by the browser software. As each section of the test item is spoken, the background of the text will be highlighted in a high contrast yellow to indicate that it is being spoken. Clicking the speaker icon will cause the entire test item to be read in series. Students also have the option of clicking on any individual text to cause the clicked-on section to be read aloud individually. Test proctors are tasked with maintaining the security of the WebXam tests; students are required to use headphones while using TTS for testing security.
