Description

Turn a student list into a classroom roll call webpage for projector use: a single offline HTML file that opens with a double-click. Each name on the page features a meaning card (character breakdown, classical origin, plain translation, and an encouraging wish). The homepage includes an original opening poem, and the calling stage displays names in large text along with pinyin, meanings, and simple explanations. It reads names aloud using Chinese browser text-to-speech (with male, female, or auto options), at speeds ranging from 0.8 to 5 seconds per student to help everyone hear the name's meaning. Called names are recorded chronologically, exportable as TXT, and saved across page refreshes. Best for: first-day roll call, homeroom meetings, public class random calling, and any occasion where you want students to hear the meaning of their name. Input: a student list (XLSX, CSV, exports from teaching systems, clear screenshots, or direct text paste), plus the course name, class, and semester. The list needs names and preferably student IDs and classes. What you get: an HTML webpage file + a cleaned list of name meanings + an opening poem. Meanings are written individually for each person, so larger lists take longer. Speech quality depends on the Chinese voices installed on your computer (Windows includes built-in voices, and Edge offers better audio quality). The page works offline without uploading student data.
