Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look
at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to
help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or
other special needs!
Handwriting can be rather challenging for some students,
especially those with dysgraphia, dyspraxia, and more. There
are several apps that allow users to take pictures and edit text
onto them, but they can be rather complicated for younger students.
This is where SnapType Pro comes in.
SnapType is an iPad app that lets users take pictures of
printed pages (like work books) so they can easily type on them.
The original app is free to use, but offers an in-app
purchase for SnapType Pro for $4.99. With the Pro app users
can:
Crop and rotate images
Work in landscape mode
Choose between multiple text colors
Store and work on more than one document at a time
Convert images to black and white for better printing
