How do I activate Read Speaker in Canvas. I am unable to find anything on Canvas. Thanks.
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).

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:
I hope this info will be of some help to you. Sing out if you have other questions about this...thanks!

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
