SoundNote vs Dyslexia Gold

Multitasking, me? Nah! The one thing I can't do in meetings is take minutes and participate in any meaningful way. With soundnote, I can record the meeting and finger or stylus write bookmark style notes. Then when you play it back and tap the bookmark, bang, there you are, right where you were when you wrote it. This app has changed my working life and made post meeting report making waaaay more accurate and quick. 10 stars for this! iTunes export (that exports in soundnote format for moving between ipads and backup etc) and the ability to use a linked iPhone as a remote mic.. Well, that would get you 20 stars;)

It works I downloaded this app and tested it on a tv programme about the history of opera, as if I were taking notes in a lecture hall. It worked perfectly, and playing back particular parts of the programme was easy. The only difficulty was my lack of speed typing skills on the iPad. Wish I had downloaded the app a few days earlier and used it to record talks given at a work training course.

Works well and is reliable Having tried (and failed) to take text notes along side audio in Evernote (it crashes and can only store 20m sections) I turned to Soundnote. It just works - really well and integrates with drop box. Really, really impressed. If I was being greedy I'd ask for a VU meter and some basic formatting tools. If I was being really greedy I'd ask for outlining tools and an export to Word's notebook format. Great work!

Spelling Tutor has really made a huge impact on our spelling results and we have rolled it out across the whole school now, regardless of ability or SEND status. It now forms an integral part of our day for regular spelling and reading repeated practice. It uses spaced repetition to focus on what words individuals needs to learn sequentially. It caters for all learners, including spelling words from Y5/6 NC lists. When used in Y4-Y6, all children improved their spelling ages, some from 5 years to over 12 years in 1 academic year and during lockdown.

We are really impressed with the data results. A 9 year old with a reading age of 4 years 9 months made 27 months progress and now has a reading age of 7 years!

The impact has been very impressive, with reading ages and speeds making significant improvements. Children have enjoyed accessing the intervention and look forward to their daily session. They are also pleased with how their reading has improved and are rightly very proud of themselves.
