Empower learners with an AI-powered “Listen to this content” player designed to enhance accessibility, support on-the-go study, and assist ESL students. This plugin automatically generates high-quality narrations for existing Page and Book activities using OpenAI TTS, featuring synchronized Whisper karaoke-style text highlighting, a click-to-seek transcript pane, and an optional multi-language translation picker. Instructors retain full control with individual on/off toggles directly inside the player and within book chapters, requiring zero manual or page-by-page setup to deploy.

Engineered with strict administrative controls and server efficiency in mind, audio is generated once via background Moodle cron tasks and cached locally using the Moodle File API. Because subsequent student visits stream directly from the local cache, there is zero per-student API cost or page-load delay. Site administrators benefit from a fully compliant GDPR privacy provider that transmits no user identifiers, customizable per-asset character limits to prevent runaway API costs, and strict outbound HTTPS-only security validation.
