## What is SnapType?

SnapType helps students keep up with their peers in class even when their penmanship holds them back. Students can easily complete school worksheets with the help of an iPad or iPhone.

With SnapType, students can take a picture of their worksheets, or import worksheets from anywhere on their device. They can then use their iOS device keyboard to add text to these documents and print, email, or share their creations. It is the perfect solution for kids, and even adults, who struggle with their handwriting. Just read a few of our amazing testimonials:

"Dear Amberlynn, Thank you so much for creating this app. You have changed the way my 12 year old son with dyspraxia functions in school. He is more independent and I cannot thank you enough. Please continue to help kids like my son. You are changing lives. Thank you."

"Thank you for this ! I am going to talk to my sons teachers about this -you are a blessing ! I can honestly tell you that I have spent many hours crying inside an Hurting watching my son struggle to write pages of sentences and spelling words and other homework - to the point that I have stopped him and honestly wrote for him left handed to make it look more like a neater version of his because I could not take it anymore ! Thank you"

"I just wanted to personally thank you for creating it, as this is an app that I use nearly every day with my son to do his homework. You have created an app with a simple interface, but with an incredibly powerful impact. Thank you."

"It is wonderful and something so simple yet so so so important for little guys like mine who cannot write BUT is learning to type and has so much to say and SHOW."

"We trialed SnapType with an 8-year old who is receiving school-based occupational therapy due to visual motor and visual perceptual issues. The biggest complaint from teachers about handwriting for this student was related to illegible answers on worksheets. The student quickly learned to take images of the worksheets with her iPad, upload them to the device and type in her answers. In addition to making her writing legible and eliminating issues with visual perceptual skills, the child's interest in the task was greatly improved, as was her pride in her work."

"Thank you so much Amberlynn. What a wonderful idea and gift to those kids that struggle with dysgraphia. I have converted many a workbook page for my son. This is WONDERFUL!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm a mother of twins. My son is autistic and my daughter has cerebral palsy. They are still only 2 and a half... but I'm sure they will both need and use this. The fact that you have also made it free and are paying for it out of pocket is just the sweetest thing ever. I read about this last night and cried tears of joy. You are amazing! And I'm going to be telling everyone who will listen about you, this story, and your app. Thank you again, I truly appreciate it!!”

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2024-11-26, version 4.7.15*

The location is never where you tap. The boxes don’t move when you want it to.

### 4/5 — Great for my son with Dyspraxia/Dysgraphia!

*2024-06-09, version 4.7.8*

I homeschool my 12 yr old son and having an option like this for his worksheets is great! It allows us to work directly on a worksheet by typing instead of handwriting which is a huge help since his hand gets so tired! When he types the quality of work gets so much better since he can focus more on the answers and not how tired his hand is. Looking forward to trying the paid version and the additional features it has.

### 4/5 — 𝔹𝕝𝕦𝕣

*2024-02-27, version 4.7.8*

Snap type has an automatic blur problem. Can you please fix it?

### 5/5 — Great app for students with learning difficulties

*2024-02-25, version 4.7.8*

Review of Snap Type Pro 2 (paid version): 

I’ve been trialling this app for about a month now. The students and teachers I work with have been using it very successfully. The snap and type/voice recoding function for worksheets has been great for those students who struggle with handwriting .The text to speech option is great for students who have reading difficulties. The ‘voice’ is a little unnatural, as with many text to speech options, but I’ve been impressed with its ability to identify and group text on busy, text-rich worksheets.

This app fills an otherwise unmet need to assist students to complete worksheet-based tasks independently. I highly recommend either the original or paid version of this app (depending on your student’s difficulties and what they most need help with).

### 5/5 — Upgrade to Pro2

*2023-09-14, version 4.6.10*

We tried the free version and it was so helpful for my daughter with dysgraphia. After seeing the additional features in the pro 2 version, we decided to upgrade. It was definitely worth it due to the templates and text wrapping. My daughter can now do all her school work (except math) in SnapType!

### 2/5 — loved this app

*2023-06-12, version 4.6.9*

### 2/5 — Snapetype review

*2023-01-17, version 4.6.7*

I mean its okay.

### 5/5 — Outstanding product

*2022-04-20, version 4.6.7*

My daughter has been using the app for just under a week and has been having a great time with it.  She enjoys working on the app that she actually looks forward to doing her homework.  

The customer service has been amazing.  I had a problem, contacted the developer and had a response within 24hrs.  After a couple of troubleshooting emails were able to resolve the problem.

Thanks Ben!

### 5/5 — This App is a Game Changer!

*2022-02-28, version 4.6.7*

Amazing tool for anyone with small motor or dexterity issues. Has been a game changer for my child.

### 4/5 — Great

*2021-02-05, version 4.6.2*

For people like me who have trouble with writing it helps them.
