Setting TTS options
The Wordly app for attendees by default doesn't play the text-to-speech (TTS) voice if the speaker language matches the attendee language. The user experience performs this way because Wordly expects that the attendee can hear and understand the speaker. However, if someone wants to hear the TTS voice in the same language, they need to set this in the Attendee settings screen.
To set up TTS voice when speaker is speaking attendee's language
- Join Wordly as an attendee in Normal display mode.
- Select the gear button ().
- Check the Play a virtual voice when the speaker is speaking my own language checkbox and click Apply.
