Quick Toggle</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Press <strong>Ctrl + Alt + Z</strong> together.  </p>\n<ul>\n<li>This instantly enables or disables <strong>ChromeVox</strong>, the built-in screen reader. (<a href=\"https://www.pocklington.org.uk/education/tech/make-computer-accessible/chromebook/?utm_source=openai\">pocklington.org.uk</a>)  </li>\n<li>You\u2019ll hear a tone and a voice feedback announcement when ChromeVox turns on. (<a href=\"https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/chromevox/chromevox-index.html?utm_source=openai\">srt.csb-cde.ca.gov</a>)</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>On touchscreen Chromebooks or tablets, you can also enable ChromeVox by pressing and holding <strong>Volume Up + Volume Down</strong> for about <strong>5 seconds</strong>.

Through Settings</h3>\n<p>If you want more control over speech settings, such as voice type, speaking rate, or other accessibility options:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click on the <strong>time</strong> in the bottom-right corner of the Chromebook screen to open the system tray.  </li>\n<li>Click the <strong>Settings</strong> gear icon.

(<a href=\"https://helpdesk.cpschools.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005706881-ChromeVox-Screen-Reader-Chrome-Extension-on-Chromebooks?utm_source=openai\">helpdesk.cpschools.com</a>)  </li>\n<li>Find the <strong>Accessibility</strong> section. (<a href=\"https://www.accessibility.org.au/setting-up/chrome-os/?utm_source=openai\">accessibility.org.au</a>)  </li>\n<li>Under that, select <strong>Manage accessibility features</strong>. (<a href=\"https://helpdesk.cpschools.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005706881-ChromeVox-Screen-Reader-Chrome-Extension-on-Chromebooks?utm_source=openai\">helpdesk.cpschools.com</a>)  </li>\n</ol>\n<hr />\n<h3>3. Turn on ChromeVox and/or Select-to-Speak</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In <strong>Manage accessibility features</strong>, find <strong>Spoken feedback</strong> or <strong>Text-to-Speech</strong>.  </li>\n<li>Turn <strong>\u201cEnable ChromeVox\u201d</strong> ON to get full screen reading (screen reader mode). (<a href=\"https://helpdesk.cpschools.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005706881-ChromeVox-Screen-Reader-Chrome-Extension-on-Chromebooks?utm_source=openai\">helpdesk.cpschools.com</a>)  </li>\n<li>Optionally, also enable <strong>Select-to-Speak</strong> if you only want specific sections of text read aloud. This lets you highlight parts of the screen or text for speech, rather than everything. (<a href=\"https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/chromebook/accessibility/?utm_source=openai\">google.com</a>)  </li>\n</ul>\n<hr />\n<h3>4. Additional Configuration</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After enabling ChromeVox, you can adjust voice settings (such as voice type, speed, pitch) under Text-to-Speech or ChromeVox options. (<a href=\"https://www.sd308.org/Departments-and-Programs/Diverse-Learners/Special-Education/Assistive-Technology/Accessibility-Features-Chromebook/index.html?utm_source=openai\">sd308.org</a>)  </li>\n<li>Make sure system volume is up. Sometimes speech is enabled but muted or low volume. (<a href=\"https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/chromevox/chromevox-index.html?utm_source=openai\">srt.csb-cde.ca.gov</a>)  </li>\n</ul>\n<hr />\n<p>If you want, I can give you keyboard shortcuts to use ChromeVox more easily, or help adjust these settings remotely if you\u2019re using a specific Chromebook model. Do you need that?</p>"
