Text to Speech for Students

Please note.
Students taking tests in DMAC also have the ability to select a different voice
for TTS.
The voice selected on this screen is not what students will hear if they select
something different.
Individual items in TAG that are approved for TTS appear with an icon to the
right of the question.
When editing an item, click the text-to-speech icon to test how the question
will be read aloud to students.
Any student with the designated text-to-speech support sees this screen when

they start.
