Speech to Text Translation

Speech to Text Translation lets a student speak in one language and write in another. When a transcription finishes, click Translate and pick a language: the transcript is translated in place, so the text you drag or copy into the page is the translated text, not the original.

A student can talk through an answer in their first language and hand it in in English. A teacher can give instructions in a student's language. It covers 60+ languages.

• A student's thinking runs ahead of their English; this lets them do the thinking in the language they think in
• Separates what a student knows from how well they can currently express it in English
• The translated text goes straight into the page, so there is no copying between tools
• Works both ways: teachers can produce instructions in a student's language
