How to give feedback using your voice

Typing feedback for a whole class takes time. With MarkMate you can say your feedback instead, the way you'd talk to a student at their desk, and it appears as written feedback. Most teachers find it much faster than typing, and the feedback sounds more natural.

There are two ways to use your voice

	Talk it through	Microphone on a feedback box
Where	The dark toolbar at the bottom of the marking screen	The 🎤 button on any feedback box
What you say	Everything about the student's work, in one go	Feedback for that one box
What happens	MarkMate sorts your comments into the right headings and writes them up	Your exact words are typed into that box as you speak
Best for	Marking a whole piece quickly	Adding or fixing one comment

What you need

• Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Safari. Firefox doesn't support voice.

• A microphone. Your laptop's built-in one is fine.

• An internet connection.

  
  

Good to know: Voice feedback is never saved until you save it, so you can always check and change it first.
