Voyager Learning Teams with iSpeech to Launch VmathLive

Voyager Learning collaborated with New Jersey-based iSpeech in the development of VmathLive 2.0, Voyager Learning's voice-enabled online math intervention program.

An interactive, Web-based tool for grades 2–8, VmathLive helps students at all performance levels master math through purposeful practice. Now equipped with iSpeech's text-to-speech technology, VmathLive 2.0  delivers comprehensive audio functionality throughout the entire online experience.

VmathLive's integration with iSpeech has enabled Cambium Learning Group, Voyager Learning's parent company, to produce large volumes of audio very quickly—accelerating the audio feature's speed-to-market from concept to launch. Working closely together to implement Math Mark-Up Language (MathML) in the proprietary text-to-speech engine, iSpeech and Cambium Learning Group have converted math content to speech audio.

"Through our continuing collaboration with Cambium Learning Group and Voyager Learning, we've expanded our text-to-speech solutions into the most essential areas of education—using our voice technology to empower learning, expand minds, and make education more accessible," said Heath Ahrens, CEO of iSpeech, in a statement.

"We are excited about teaming with iSpeech," said Randy Black , vice president of technology development at Voyager Learning, in a statement. "Because struggling math students often face challenges with reading, the text-to-speech feature has allowed us to provide audio support with engaging voices in English and Spanish to help increase their understanding of math concepts."
