In this article, we detail how, through JavaScript programming in GeoGebra, it can be integrated with Google's Text-to-Speech (TTS) service, endowing the software with voice synthesis functionalities. This integration enriches GeoGebra by adding new verbal expression capabilities, significantly broadening its semiotic scope. This enables a representation of the concepts addressed that is both richer and more diverse. Incorporating the vocal dimension transforms the software, introducing an additional level of interactivity and accessibility, which enhances its educational impact. Particularly relevant is the innovation's ability to facilitate the creation of accessible educational activities for people with special needs, making the teaching and learning process more inclusive in digital environments. This advancement represents a significant step towards a more adaptable and comprehensive educational environment, promoting inclusion and expanding the pedagogical possibilities of GeoGebra. Furthermore, we illustrate the practical applicability of this technology through two concrete examples, demonstrating its transformative potential in education.
