Audio descriptions for slides

New VT

If the media you’ve added to your slide is primarily visual, you can add an audio description directly to that slide. Note that you can also describe the slide in an audio comment, but this is a way to do it without needing to add a comment. Adding an audio description in this way requires you to upload a pre-recorded audio file; there is not yet a way to record directly into VoiceThread.

From the edit page:

  1. Go to the Edit page.
  2. Click on the menu icon in the bottom-right corner of the slide you want to title, then click on the pencil icon (label: “Edit”).
