TTS for Quiz Questions -- How Do You Handle It?
Hi all,
For brief context, our team primarily uses text-to-speech (TTS) in our courses, and we always add the audio transcript in the Notes field to aid accessibility.
An accessibility question ...
I'm here looking for other approaches for this, so I'll resurrect this thread to add mine as it's shorter than the suggestions above (but still not ideal, hence searching!).
- I have the question read out on timeline start. Also when the user clicks the question (which overrides the auto-play, so you need to add a trigger to play on start, too).
- Then each answer has a trigger to pause the timeline on this slide, and read out its own audio on click.
This means each answer is read out as it's selected, and the user can replay the question by clicking on it. It negates the need to turn off shuffle answers.
The downside is if they're clicking around between long answers, the audio for a previously selected answer will pick up mid-way through when clicked again, if it hadn't completed the previous time they clicked it. Unfortunately we can only pause the timeline, not stop it.
Still looking for better solutions if anybody has any!
