Hello @MarleneTamati ...
As @EugeneHarrison also mentioned, I'd recommend having a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team to see if ReadSpeaker has been integrated into Canvas. ReadSpeaker appears to be a third-party LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) tool that can integrate with Canvas, and there may be a cost to this software. Thus, having a conversation with your school to see if purchasing (if you don't already have it) would be an option. Many LTIs are usually installed at the Canvas account level vs. the Canvas course level. This means that one the LTI is integrated, it's available for all courses within the account...just not your course(s).
I found a couple websites that might be of help:
- Edu App Center: ReadSpeaker - This is the LTI page on the EduAppCenter ... mainly for Canvas admin use
- Canvas Accessibility with text-to-speech - ReadSpeaker
As another alternative, have you tried the Immersive Reader that is available within Canvas? It might do some or all of the things you are looking for with ReadSpeaker. Here are a couple links with some information:
- How do I use the Microsoft Immersive Reader in a course as a student?
- How do I use the Microsoft Immersive Reader in a course as an instructor?
I hope this info will be of some help to you. Sing out if you have other questions about this...thanks!
