Text to speech for universities
Run a real evaluation before anyone signs anything.
In short
- A 21-day pilot with 3 seats and no card.
- Shared workspaces, SSO, and directory sync.
- Admin analytics for reporting.
- A DPA, a security page, and invoicing.
What this does for you
Evaluate the way procurement actually works
The EDU Pilot exists because a 7-day self-serve trial does not survive contact with a university purchasing process. Twenty-one days and three seats is enough for the accessibility office, IT, and one academic department to form a view.
Answer the security review once
A published security page, an accessibility statement, and a signable DPA mean the review does not stall waiting for answers a help article cannot give.
Roll out without provisioning by hand
SAML single sign-on and SCIM directory sync mean access follows your existing identity provider rather than a spreadsheet.
Report on what it is doing
Admin analytics show conversions, characters, and active users, which is what an annual accessibility report needs.
How to use it
Request the pilot
Tell us the department and the use case. We enable 21 days, 3 seats, and 50,000 characters.
Run it on real work
Convert genuine course material, not a demo document. Column layouts and footnotes are where tools differ.
Move to a contract
If it works, we move to institutional terms — invoicing, DPA, SSO, and a named contact.
An example
A disability services team runs the pilot across one term with two coordinators and one lecturer. They convert 40 documents, find two that need manual cleanup, and produce a usage summary for the annual accessibility report. The security review runs in parallel because the DPA was available on day one.
Accessibility
- We publish an accessibility statement covering known limitations, not just conformance claims.
- The product is used daily by accessibility offices, so regressions surface quickly.
- Keyboard and screen-reader support is treated as a defect class, not a feature request.
- We will answer a VPAT request directly rather than pointing at a marketing page.
Questions people ask
Do you support SAML single sign-on?
Yes, on enterprise plans, with setup guides for Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace. SCIM directory sync is available alongside it.
Where is data processed and how long is it kept?
Source documents are discarded after text extraction. Generated audio stays in the workspace until deleted. Text submitted through the public free tool is never written to storage at all. Regional hosting and retention terms are covered in the DPA.
Can we get a VPAT or accessibility conformance report?
Ask and we will provide what we have, including known gaps. We would rather send an honest document with limitations listed than a conformance claim that does not survive testing.
What does the EDU Pilot include?
21 days, 3 seats, 50,000 characters, shared workspace, admin analytics, and onboarding support. No credit card and no automatic conversion to a paid plan.
How does invoicing work?
Institutional plans are invoiced annually against a purchase order. Card payment is available but not required.
