Adding Text To Speech for Presenters

You can add text-to-speech (TTS) functionality to Wordly for presenters for better accessibility during multilingual meetings. This lets presenters hear translations of other speakers’ languages without hearing their own.

You might want to do this if:

• You’re using Wordly in 1:1 conversations. You’ll want to see and hear text in your language and the person you’re speaking with wants to see and hear in their language without having Wordly repeat what each person is saying to themselves.
• You have a meeting with speakers in multiple languages. Example: You speak English, but another presenter is speaking Japanese. You don’t need Wordly to translate your speech, but you need Wordly to translate the Japanese speech.

Prerequisites

• Speakers must all join a session as presenters.

  Warning

  Speakers should have headphones to avoid audio feedback.
