Adding the tool to the exam as a teacher
You can enable the tool for all students in the exam settings when creating or editing either a "PDF/document" exam or a "No digital questions" exam.

- Choose the input language—the language students will speak in (optional)
Why can’t I see the Speech to text option when creating/editing my exam?The tool is not available for Question type exams and currently only works for the following exam formats:

Can I activate the tool for individual students?
The speech-to-text function cannot currently be enabled for individual students within a single exam. To provide this tool to only some students, we recommend creating two separate versions of the exam—duplicate the original exam and add the tool to one version.
Grant Exam.net access to microphone as a student
Open Exam.net from the Applications folder
|
If the app does not have access to the microphone, the student will see a shortcut to the system settings on the landing page when they open the app via the macOS launcher (not via the browser). Click inside the "For exams where you use the microphone..." box to allow the microphone in Exam.net |
| Click the "Allow" button to confirm that you want to grant microphone access to the Exam.net application. |
| Verify Exam.net has microphone access by opening System Settings, clicking on Privacy & Security in the left-hand menu, and then selecting Microphone in the right-hand panel. The toggle should now show as active (blue). If the toggle is inactive (grey), make sure to click on it to allow Exam.net access to your microphone. |
