These changes were released in a hotfix on September 3rd, 2026.
New Features and Changes
Seamless Reading Speed Adjustment
Changing the reading speed now seamlessly resumes playback from the current text position, rather than restarting from the beginning of the page.
Translation Updates
Polished and proofread interface translations across multiple languages to ensure accuracy.
Extended TTS Support
Enabled Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio playback for Papiamentu translations.
Notable Corrections
Canvas New Quizzes Engine
In quizzes with one question per page, webReader previously read the content from the previous question instead of the current question. This has now been fixed, with a Listen button available for each question.
Canvas SpeedGrader
In SpeedGrader, duplicate webReader icons, along with a docReader icon, were appearing in the available links. This caused layout issues and introduced additional whitespace below SpeedGrader. This has now been fixed, and only one webReader icon is displayed.
Image Issue in BrightSpace
When clicking the Listen button in Chrome, images could disappear on pages where images were rendered inside a Shadow DOM. This issue has now been fixed, and images render correctly when using the Listen button.
Dictionary Styling
Fixed a layout issue that caused broken headers and styling in the Dictionary tool results for certain languages.
Pre-Initialization Visuals
Resolved a minor visual artifact that could briefly appear before the player was fully loaded.
Help Tool Media
Corrected an issue where outdated or incorrect images were displayed in the Help section.
Console Errors
Eliminated a false-positive console error that triggered if the popup player was dismissed before all scipts had been loaded.
System Stability
Prevented potential conflicts between webReader and the customer’s website environment to ensure a more reliable execution.
CSP Compliance
Enhanced security handling to ensure strict adherence to Content Security Policy (CSP) standards across all customer environments.
