Students with text-to-speech enabled for their test will see extra options in the toolbar at the top of their test, along with the standard test aids. Note that the proctor must assign the text-to-speech accommodation to the student for text-to-speech to be enabled, and text-to-speech is only available on tests designed for grades 2 and up. Refer to
How to assign text-to-speech to a student.
For students taking K-2 tests, the audio functionality is different. Refer to
Do all MAP Growth K-2 test questions have audio? for information.
More detail on what each button does is available in the chart below:

 | Volume | Adjusts the volume up or down. |
Text-to-speech tools missing
Refer to
Text-to-speech isn't working for troubleshooting steps. Note that K-2 tests do have audio, but not text-to-speech, so they will not have the same tools. Refer to
