I am constantly amazed by the iPad. Part of the reason is the apps that are being developed for it. I came across this one just this morning as I sipped by coffee. It seems too good to be true.
AppWriter offers word prediction, OCR, text to speech and Dyslexie font. I am dying to get my hands on it to try it out. I already know several students who could benefit from this app. One student is in her first year of high school. I remember recommending a laptop for her in fifth grade. With it we ordered word prediction software, a scanner and a portable printer. This $19.99 app might do a good job of replacing all that for certain school tasks. If anyone remembers the difficulty of scanning in and sharing documents, this is a relief!
Are you as excited as I am?
