How do I use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave a comment in SpeedGrader with Performance and Usability Upgrades?
If you use the Google Chrome web browser to access Canvas, you can use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave text comments on student assignments in SpeedGrader. Chrome's speech recognition feature turns your spoken comments into text comments.
Chrome speech recognition will default to the preferred language set in your Chrome settings. To change your setting to a different language, view your language settings in Chrome.
Note: If the user interface displays differently than what is shown in this lesson, the Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader feature option may have been disabled.
