- Worth noticing
- The page lists 25 pictograms across 27 languages and says the floating bubble works over existing websites.
Field notes
The homepage presents a floating bubble that can be moved over lesson pages, presentations, or videos, rather than a separate classroom app. Teachers can choose which of 25 pictured prompts appear, type a sentence for spoken output in both languages, and select voice options; the page also describes allowing a student to speak a word. It lists 27 languages and says the extension works in Chrome and Edge, with no account required.
