Speak Molecule Is Now on the Main Generator Page
The Speak Molecule tool now lives directly on the main ChemIllusion generator page, making pronunciation support easier to use during drawing, learning, and accessible chemistry workflows.
Speak Molecule is now available directly on the main Generator page in ChemIllusion.
Pronunciation help is most useful when it appears exactly where people are already working. Instead of switching away from the generator, users can now draw or inspect a molecule on the canvas and immediately hear its name aloud from the same workspace.
How It Works
Enable Speak Molecule in Account Settings → Advanced Settings. Once enabled, a gold speaker tool appears on the canvas edge. Drag that icon onto any molecule to hear the molecule name spoken aloud.

You can open the tool directly here: Open Speak Molecule on the Generator page.
Why We Added It to Generator
The generator is where many learners already draw structures, test ideas, and ask chemistry questions. Putting Speak Molecule there makes pronunciation part of the actual chemistry workflow rather than a separate side tool.
That helps in several ways. It supports learning by connecting a drawn structure with its spoken name at the moment of recognition. It helps instructors and students who want a quick pronunciation check while teaching or studying. It also improves accessibility for users who benefit from audio reinforcement while working with chemical notation.
Learning and Accessibility
learners can hear a molecule name immediately after drawing or selecting a structure
instructors can demonstrate pronunciation directly from the same canvas they use for explanation
users who prefer or need audio support get an easier path from visual chemistry to spoken chemistry
ChemLingo still remains a dedicated destination for pronunciation practice, but in everyday chemistry work you can stay in the generator: open Canvas tools, enable Speak Molecule, and use the ChemLingo-backed structure reading and pronunciation controls on the molecule you are already drawing.
