Hello, my friends, and welcome to another edition of “Hey, We Have Some Exciting New Features Hitting One of Our Platforms and I’d Like to Share Them With You All.” Still working on the title. But this one’s truly a special edition. A labor of love, if you will. Meant to bring people closer together and make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Why, you ask? Well, because Valentine’s Day is this Friday—duh. But instead of flowers and chocolate, I bring you the latest and greatest additions to the YuJa SmartSpeaker AI Platform. Consider this our Valentine’s Day card.
Embed YuJa SmartSpeaker into Canvas and D2L Course Content
As an instructor, you can embed YuJa SmartSpeaker into course content to allow students instant text-to-speech audio without them needing to highlight content manually. If you prefer using the YuJa SmartSpeaker Widget as an overlay rather than embedded, you can simply adjust this preference in Default Course Settings.
Redesigned YuJa SmartSpeaker Widget for a More Personalized Experience
The YuJa SmartSpeaker Widget has been revamped with a redesigned UI and enhanced capability for a more customized listening experience. Key updates include:
- Redesigned SmartSpeaker Widget UI with an expandable icon, allowing you to collapse the widget when not in use.
- Included an on-hover volume bar for easy volume adjustment during audio playing.
- New option to disable the rewind and fast-forward functions according to your listening preferences.
Until next time, I hope you enjoy using the YuJa SmartSpeaker AI Platform. For more exciting news and updates, subscribe to our newsletter, and stay tuned for more amazing new releases coming soon.
