You may or may not be aware that it IS possible to create Match resources on textivate matching images with text. This blog post tells you all about it.
Well, with text-to-speech, it's now possible to add a voice to those images too. Here's how:
Just as you can add a video to your textivate resources, as explained here, you can now add an image to a textivate resource so that students can view it along with the activities.
As with video and audio embedding, there are 2 methods:
1. Via the "Extras" tab
Simply click on the Extras tab and type or paste the link to your image in the "Image url" box.

This text was put together as part of a Spanish unit of work which included food and drink, ice-cream flavours, euros, dialogues, pictures, sounds etc and which was combined into a free TaskMagic standalone program (for Windows).
This program contains over 250 interactive exercises and over 60 worksheets, and it can be downloaded completely free from this page on the TaskMagic blog: taskmagic.posthaven.com/taskmagic3-spanish-sample-unit-en-la-cafeteri (lots more info about the resource there too).
The text used for this blog is from 1 of the 16 files that make up that TaskMagic resource.
