PaperPort Notes
I learned about this app in a QIAT listserv posting made by Karen Jankowski, an AT specialist. Here is what she said on 3/14/12:
Everyone needs to know about this great free app which supports struggling writers, the ones who have great ideas but can’t get them down on paper for a number of different reasons.
It’s an amazing app which allows you to import pictures, documents, items from dropbox, etc and then either type, write or use speech recognition into text boxes. After the document is completed, there are a number of ways to share it.
So many uses. But some of the most important include:1. import a test or quiz, add text boxes into which students record their answers using speech recognition and then share with teacher
2. Create a graphic organizer in another app or take a picture of a graphic organizer, import into Notes and then use speech recognition to complete the organizer. Share3. Complete writing prompts using speech recognition to complete paragraph writing more independently.
Many more but this one is essential for our struggling writers as it promotes independence and negates a need for a scribe.
Have fun!
