"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."

This app alone makes the iPad worth every penny For journalists/lawyers and pretty much anyone who has to attend meetings, listen to speakers and take notes, you could probably charge the cost of an entry level iPad for a device which did nothing more than this application. It is, of course, stunningly simple - yet performs a task that is so useful once you have used it in anger, you'll never want to go back to pure recording or note taking again. Thanks to the iPad's inbuilt microphone quality and long battery life, it's genuinely useful. Everyone using an iPad for work should have this application. Every iPad review I have written has this high on the recommended "first apps". It's £2.99. Cheaper than a decent pen and a pad of paper, let alone a dictaphone. Why are you even reading the reviews?

About SoundNote
In meetings, lectures, and interviews, SoundNote is the finest tool for taking notes. You won't ever have to worry about missing a vital detail because it records audio and tracks what you type and draw. To skip to the appropriate time in the audio during playback, simply tap a word. SoundNote will do this for you. • Create rapid sketches with SoundNote's capable sketching tool. Editing them is also simple. You can pick a drawing by tapping it once, or you can select a single stroke by tapping twice. It can then be moved by dragging it to the desired location or by selecting "Delete" to delete it. Click and scroll with two fingers. Student use of SoundNote is ideal. Rest assured that SoundNote has your back if you ever doze off in class. In order to help you fill in the blanks, SoundNote will play the audio you recorded while you were awake when you tap the text you wrote there. A useful tool for journalists is SoundNote. Ever needed to quickly scroll over the entire recording of an interview to figure out what you missed during a key detail? To hear what you missed during that section of the interview, simply tap a word in SoundNote. • Share your text, drawings, and audio notes once you're done by emailing them to someone else or saving them directly to your Mac or PC. An hour of high-quality audio is only 25MB in size when it is recorded in the common M4A format for audio notes.
Most popular feedback for Rainbow Sentences
Very good! As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I find that many of Mobile Education Stores' apps are great. I use Rainbow Sentences because it has students think carefully about constructing grammatically correct sentences in a colorful and playful way. In the settings menu the teacher can scaffold the sentence building so that beginning kindergarteners all the way up to around the end of second grade level students can be challenged and successful. When the students correctly answer, there are some funny animated characters that come out and cheer for them. Likewise, there are words of encouragement if they answer incorrectly. The app has a statistics page so you can monitor the students' progress. One problem I have with the app is that you cannot go from a sentence that you are building to the settings or statistics page until/unless you correctly build the sentence. This creates unnecessary hassle if you want to quickly check-in on a student's progress or change the difficulty.

About Rainbow Sentences
Sentence construction is a fundamental obstacle in reading instruction for children. English can be difficult for beginners to understand, especially at first. But Rainbow Sentences is here to support you. The software assists your child in learning how to create English phrases in a simple-to-understand manner by using tools like color-coded vocabulary, text-to-speech, and lesson plans that use pictures instead of words. To improve the process, it even allows students to record themselves saying the lines and play the recordings back. I suggest Rainbow Sentences if your youngster has trouble putting together entire sentences. Rainbow Sentences is available on the Apple App Store. Rainbow Sentences is less expensive than some of the other options on this list, despite the absence of a free trial. A free educational mobile app developed by Mobile Education Store LLC is called Rainbow Sentences. With the aid of color-coded visual signals, Rainbow Sentences is intended to assist kids develop their capacity to create grammatically sound sentences. To make it easier for pupils to detect and comprehend how these components combine to form basic sentence construction, the who, what, where, and why portions of sentences are color coded. The recognition of sentence components such nouns, verbs, and prepositions can help students better comprehend how these components work together to form simple sentences. To enhance their receptive and expressive language abilities, students can record their sentences in their own voices.
SoundNote reviews
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!

Rainbow Sentences reviews
Rainbow Sentences is an easy to use app that uses color codes to help students understand how to combine elements in a sentence. This tool is fun and innovative while teaching students to build grammatically correct sentences. Parts of a sentence such as nouns, verbs, and prepositions will become more recognizable. Another great feature of this packed app is students can record their own voice to create sentences

This is an app that I use a lot. Kyle Tomson has created another great app that follow along in the same style as his previous ones. This app allows you not only to keep data on student progress but you can adjust the level of difficulty. I love that you can even adapt within each level by turning on or off color coding and word grouping. This makes each of the three complexity levels actually have 9 options . ..if I did my math right! Click here to read more and watch the video tutorial.

Rainbow Sentences uses color-coding, interactivity, and customization to teach students how to build sentences. The app provides a picture, a jumbled sentence, and color-coded lines that guide the student in dragging the correct word or phrase into its position in the sentence. The app includes 168 different pictures and sentences along with a robust Settings menu that allows parents and teachers to customize the app to best meet the needs of the student.
