Voice and languages
More ways in: voice, read-aloud and 13 languages.
Learners can type or speak, and read or listen. The tutor replies in the language your organisation chooses, from 13 including Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Arabic.
Speak and listen
Talk to the tutor instead of typing
Learners press the microphone and speak; their words appear as they talk, and the tutor can read its replies aloud. Voice input and read-aloud currently work in British English.
Press the microphone
Learners speak instead of typing, where the browser and device support it.
Words appear as they talk
The transcript builds live, so learners can see what the tutor heard.
A pause sends it
When the learner stops speaking, the message goes to the tutor.
Hear the reply
With read-aloud on, each reply is spoken in a British English voice.

Accessibility
Built towards WCAG 2.2 AA
We are ambitious about accessibility, and we are building our products and services towards full WCAG 2.2 AA alignment.
Learners can already type or speak, and read or listen, with labelled controls, screen-reader announcements and a text transcript of each session. The tutor has not yet had an independent accessibility audit; one is planned.
Coming soon
Try voice
A version you can try in your browser is being built. Until then, book a call and we will show you voice input and read-aloud working.
