WebTide Monthly Meetup: Texthelp Tools for Reading, Writing, Language Learning, and STEM

Emerging Technology and Accessibility‘s Melissa Green will demonstrate Texthelp tools now freely available to all UA students, faculty, and staff: Read&Write, a customizable toolbar with supports for reading, writing, research, and studying; EquatIO, an application that lets you type, handwrite, or speak to create equations, formulas, and other math and chemistry expressions; and Snapverter, a Google Chrome app that converts printed documents and inaccessible digital files into readable PDFs for easy sharing and reading aloud. Texthelp tools are particularly beneficial for English language learners and students with learning disabilities but are useful for all learners. The Mac and PC desktop software, Google Chrome apps and extensions, and iOS and Android apps are available for use on both personal and University-owned devices and can be accessed via the software catalog on the OIT website.
