NOTE: If a student uses headphones, these need to be connected before the exam starts for it to work during the exam.
In the top left corner next to the settings icon you see a speaking figure (see Figure 2). If you press this icon while you have text marked, it will then be read out loud. Text to speech is also possible on PDF documents and websites.
