Information:

The ReadSpeaker/Blackboard Ultra 1.3 integration provides webReader the ability to read content, quizzes, discussions, and assignments. In Quizzes and Assignments, the translate feature, dictionary, and download to MP3 tools are turned off but remain available throughout the rest of the Blackboard Ultra instance.

ReadSpeaker docReader is also available in Blackboard Ultra. When accessing a document, users click the "Open document with docReader" button at the top left of the screen. A link will appear in the side panel. The user clicks on the link, and the document will open in a separate window. Once the page opens, users can access all the ReadSpeaker tools, such as text to speech and accessibility features to support reading, focus, and studying.

Blackboard Ultra Integration 1.3 is installed using the typical LTI 1.3 method for current ReadSpeaker clients. Information can be found in the Admin Portal. If assistance is needed, please contact the ReadSpeaker support team at support@readspeaker.com.
