It Just Gets Easier and Easier

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?
