Abilipad App - The Only Adaptive Note Taking App

Abilipad App - The Only Adaptive Note Taking App | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it

Abilipad app (formerly Intellipad App) is the only adaptive note-taking app.  This app provides the ability to modify the keyboard content, text to speech (TTS) and alphabetical word prediction. 

 

 "The ability to add pictures to the note pad also provides additional visual prompts and supports for users during the writing process.

 

This is a great tool for special needs and is currently a one of a kind and worth the cost for its unique visual and adaptive supports providing word prediction and text to speech tools for writing."
