What does Talis Engage do with content?
For any document-based content uploaded to Talis Engage, we apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from all content. This is to ensure you can highlight content throughout resources and that regardless of the original, the content can be read by screen readers.
For audio based resources, we will automatically transcode these resources for playback at different connection speeds for the end-user. This is to ensure playback is uninterrupted, where possible.
