How do we add the ReadSpeaker button on our Canvas accounts?
Hello there, @PatriciaForero ...
Full disclosure...I have never used ReadSpeaker, so I do not know the full capabilities of what it is or does. However, I do see that it is listed as a LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) that can be integrated into Canvas. The page on the EduAppCenter is located at:
Edu App Center: ReadSpeaker
On this info page, there is a link that takes you to: Canvas Accessibility with text-to-speech - ReadSpeaker.
I'm not sure if there is an additional cost to this third-party product (assuming there is?), but I would encourage you to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator(s) to see if purchasing this software would be possible. Many LTIs are installed at the Canvas account level so that they can be available for all courses at your school, but there are some LTIs that can be installed at the course level...which means that it would only be available course by course...and not for everyone at your school who also uses Canvas. You'd have to do some additional research and ask questions to the ReadSpeaker staff to see what options are available.
Hopefully this will be enough information to get you started. Thanks...

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
