   Select Generate, listen to the preview, and download your WAV file. No sign-up, no parent consent forms, and no school IT approval needed.

• 01

  Adjust the playback speed for EAL pupils

  Open the audio track in any standard media player, your web browser, or Google Drive preview and set the speed to 0.9x. The voice remains natural, but comprehension improves noticeably for pupils with processing delays or English as an additional language.

• 02

  Choose voices that suit the key stage

  Try Sarah and Bella for Key Stage 1 and early primary classes; both offer a gentler pace. Use Liam, Adam, or Daniel for secondary year groups preparing for exams. Changing voices within a single topic also helps pupils distinguish textbook explanations from historical sources.

• 03

  Create audio worksheets in under five minutes

  Paste your worksheet text straight in (5,000 chars fits around 800 words, enough for most tasks), generate the WAV, and attach it beside the PDF in Google Classroom or your VLE. Pupils who need reader support get access immediately without filling in extra forms.

• 04

  Add audio directly to Slides, Canvas, or Schoology

  In Google Slides: choose Insert > Audio and select your WAV from Drive. In Canvas: use Rich Content Editor > Record/Upload Media to add your WAV. In Schoology: attach it as a resource on the lesson page. Pupils can listen straight from your VLE without downloading anything.

• 05

  Prepare clean read-aloud support for SEND plans

  Where access arrangements require text read aloud, create one WAV file for each set reading and save them in a shared folder. The sound stays uniform across every classroom, works smoothly for supply teachers, and saves teaching assistants for higher-need support.

• 06

  Set up a voice key for the school year

  Introduce your voice scheme right at the start of term: Sarah for stories, Adam for instructions, and Daniel for non-fiction. Matching specific voices to tasks lowers cognitive load and helps pupils know what to expect before listening.
