Text To Speech

SIMnet now offers a built-in text reader that will read your assignment text without the need to download or install any additional software. The text reader is available in SIMbooks, Lessons, Projects, Exams and the Exam and Lesson portions of SIMpaths.

For SIMbook and Lesson assignments, the text reader will read all SIMbook text or individually selected text as desired. For Project assignments, the text reader will read all instructions. For Exam assignments, the text reader will read all question text.

SIMbooks and Lessons also have the added Translation feature. Selected text can be translated into 22 different languages using Google Translate.

Student Registration

The New User registration has now been streamlined into a single button. Rather than creating an account or purchasing online access or registering for Courtesy Access as separate steps, students can complete these steps in one combined, streamlined effort.

After creating a SIMnet Account students will be lead through Course Enrollment and Licensing to gain full access to their SIMnet materials.
