Hello,
I am struggling with annotating student submissions. I'm currently learning about SpeedGrader, and I read the help site that said that the annotations tool bar does not come up with text-only entries. However, I teach a foreign language, and often the homework assignments or assessments I give require me to give a large amount of individual annotated comments. How can I annotate a student's work if they submit a text entry? Is it impossible -- do I need to only permit the file upload option (i.e., PDF or .doc)?
Thank you for your assistance -- please let me know if I can clarify anything.

@DanaeEdsall ...
It seems to me that having your students submit a Word document or a PDF would be a better way to go rather than have them submit a text document. You certainly could limit the types of files that your students could submit to you. For example, you might limit it to a PDF and a DOCX file (*.doc files like you've mentioned in your original question are the old file extensions for Microsoft Word documents). In this Guide, How do I create an online assignment? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com), there is a section on "Restrict File Types" that shows you examples on how you can specify certain file extensions that you will only accept. For example, you could type in:
docx,pdf
I hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions.
