Description of the event
We will explore the following assistive software:
- Read&Write is a literacy support tool designed to enhance reading and writing across a range of platforms. It is free for all current University of Ottawa students, staff and faculty. Its most popular feature is text-to-speech using advanced AI voices, among many other features. This tool is particularly beneficial for individuals with learning disabilities, but it can be used by anyone looking to improve their productivity and comprehension.
- Goodnotesis a note-taking app that allows users to create, organize, and annotate digital notes. It supports handwriting recognition, PDF annotation, and audio transcription.
- Genio Notesis a note-taking tool that allows you to record lectures and annotate them with different types of notes. Record the session with Genio and annotate key concepts and moments as you listen, allowing for easier review and retention later.
- OneNote is a digital note-taking app that makes organization easy, allowing you to click and type anywhere you want, move text around easily, capture voice notes, use tags, collaborate, and more.
