Product Update – November 2020

November 3, 2020

Speak Agent version 2.0.0 loads everything faster. Much faster. It also fixes a number of minor issues. We’ve listed just the ones you’ll notice the most.


Issues Fixed in This Release

For students:

  • The color picker for highlighting in Read Along always displayed the same color. Now you can choose from four colors.
  • Long lesson titles on the home page of students in grades 6 & up were truncated. We have added space so they display more fully.
  • Added loading icons for anything that does not load immediately.
  • Matching game displayed the wrong score at the end of each game, now fixed.

For teachers:

  • Consolidated duplicate word rows in the Lesson Reports.
  • Improved the Assign Lessons search so that the search results don’t jump around constantly.
  • Did we mention that everything loads faster?

Coming Soon

Next, we are changing the Math Puzzle Maker to make it clearer how to submit a puzzle for teacher review. In the meantime, please see this article if your students are having trouble submitting a puzzle. (They are just missing one easy step…)
