Feature iconPlay Page: Read Aloud

Accessible learning through human-like text-to-speech, replacing the need for additional teacher and TA support

Overview

What this Feature Does

Play Page is the top button in the Chrome Extension's Reading Mode: click it and Mote reads the whole page aloud in a natural, human-like voice, highlighting each word as it goes so students can follow along.

In Google Docs, Play Page starts from the paragraph the cursor is in rather than returning to the top of the document. Click into the part you want to hear and playback begins there.

Why it Matters

  • Helps dyslexic students or those with reading fatigue stay engaged
  • Supports multilingual learners with clear pronunciation and tone
  • Offers an additional option for students who benefit from multimodal instruction

Bonus Points

The voices are that good – you'll want to test some out just to hear them. You can even choose different accents, languages and playback speeds!
