Snap&Read Universal is a capture tool that allows users to select an inaccessible image of text and have it converted into an accessible text format which can then be copied or even read aloud. The app works with websites, online images, photographs, PDFs, and more. And, once an image has been captured, Snap&Read can translate the text into over 100 languages.
Another interesting feature is the “Simplify” tool. This tool could be helpful for young learners, or for those who struggle with language. With the simplify tool, users can identify difficult words or phrases and swap them out for simpler words and phrases. This could be especially useful for students when they are required to research new or advanced subject areas.
Snap&Read is easy to use and install, and once it is installed on a device, users can toggle the apps full functionality while browsing, or alternatively, users can capture photos, .pdfs, etc., and have them read aloud via Snap&Read at a later time.
The app is compatible with many top web sites and apps including Moodle, Evernote, Quizlet.com, Wikipedia, Facebook, Google Docs, Kindle, Blackboard, and more.
Price: Free
Platform: iOS 11.0 or later, Chrome, Edge, Safari
*The Snap&Read Universal web extension is a paired down version of the complete app, but the read, simplify, and translate features are still available.
