Voice Dream Writer will ...Thanks for the question.<br /><br />Voice Dream Writer will be better from writing essays. It has a lot of tools like voice feedback, homophone checker, and the ability to look up words by meaning that are really helpful for writing.<br /><br />Notability is better suited for handwritten notes that do not require perfect spelling and grammar. Also with Notability you lose the ability to read back your writing with text-to-speech if you choose to hand write your notes.<br /><br />Hope this helps answer your question and please let me know if you have any other questions.Brian Meersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946899102765730318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634973293009486030.post-76225184115310927402015-02-02T11:21:32.583-05:002015-02-02T11:21:32.583-05:00What do you think of the new Voice Dream writer ap...What do you think of the new Voice Dream writer app and noteability?

It reads aloud to them, highlights as it reads, and has additional video to expand beyond the book.

How can we keep them motivated and engaged while they're working harder than others who learn reading so much easier and faster? I'm not that technology savvy, so any help would be appreciated! I'm a tutor of struggling (most as yet to be diagnosed or in process of being diagnosed as dyslexic) K, 1st, and 2nd graders. Thanks in advance for any help with anything I could use myself, or recommend to parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634973293009486030.post-47003936255736541942014-02-25T18:16:32.033-05:002014-02-25T18:16:32.033-05:00Brilliant well done and thanks

It's a good keyboard but a Bluetooth keyboard might be better for most.
