Adding Text to your Module

Text styling 
Highlight the specific characters or phrases of your text to bring up the text styling menu to Bold, Italicise, Underline, or insert Hyperlinks. You may also use your keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ctrl + b).

Other text formatting that you can do includes:
1. Increase spacing between letters by clicking the icon “< >”
2. Hide text by clicking the “eye” icon – this applies a “Text Shading” effect which learners have to tap on the shaded area to reveal the text

You can also tap on the two 三 icons to format your text into bullet point lists, like:
– point a
– point b…

or numbered lists, like
1. point a
2. point b

Font size & alignment 
Configure the font size and text alignment under the Screen Settings panel on the right side of your Editor.

Note that for your learner, text will auto-resize to fit the screen, so learner doesn’t have to scroll to read everything. 

But please always consider to not include so much text in one screen. 😅
You can always add another screen by clicking “Add Screen” light blue button at the bottom left.

Font style & colour
Font style and colour of your text can be changed from the Design tab on the bottom right of your Editor. Check out the Design and Themes article to learn more.

Text-to-Speech 
ArcLab has a text-to-speech (voiceover) feature. In their learn modules, your learners can tap on the grey icon at the top-right, which will launch ArcLab SmartVoice to read the text on-screen. This is an assistive feature which helps your learners who are not so competent in reading text, or may have vision issues.

ArcLab SmartVoice is currently in beta, supporting a limited number of languages. We are looking into adding more language support in future.
