### Speech-to-Text

Eduphoria's Speech-to-Text support is not supported when using LockDown Browser on iPad. To enable Speech-to-Text for LockDown Browser for iPad, use the iPad’s built-in dictation feature.

1. To enable dictation, go to **Settings**.
2. Select **General**.
3. Select **Keyboard**.
4. Turn on **Enable Dictation**.

When dictation is enabled on the device, a microphone icon appears in the on-screen keyboard. Tap the microphone icon to begin recording and converting to text. Additionally, if a Bluetooth keyboard is being used, a shortcut can be set to activate dictation.

### Text-to-Speech

The iPad’s built-in Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature cannot be disabled by LockDown Browser. This means that all students can access Text-to-Speech on iPad regardless of whether Eduphoria’s Text-to-Speech support is enabled.
