Why Voice-to-Text Matters

  • ✅ Supports students with literacy challenges, motor difficulties, or language barriers.

  • ✅ Encourages spontaneous inquiry and real-time classroom interaction.

  • ✅ Makes agents more inclusive and user-friendly across age groups.

  • ✅ Reduces typing fatigue and speeds up engagement.

How It Works

  • Users can speak directly into the chat interface using supported devices.

  • The agent transcribes the speech into text and processes it like any other query.

  • Works across 99+ languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and more.

💡 Example Interaction

Student (spoken): “Can you help me with question 3 on my worksheet?”
Agent: Analyzes the uploaded image and responds:
“Sure! Question 3 asks about the water cycle. Try describing each stage using the diagram you provided.”

Use Cases for Voice-to-Text

  • 🧒 Primary Students: Speak questions aloud instead of typing.

  • 🧑‍🏫 Teachers: Dictate lesson ideas or feedback while multitasking.

  • 🧑‍🎓 Multilingual Classrooms: Use native language input for faster understanding.
