Snapverter vs PixWriter Lite

The Snapverter iOS app converts classroom papers and images to accessible documents, in a snap. Snap a picture of any document using your camera, or select any digital image from the Files app or Camera roll on your device, and Snapverter will make it accessible. You can hear it read aloud instantly, or save it as an accessible PDF for exporting and sharing. To get the most out of the Snapverter iOS app, you must have a premium Snapverter subscription through your school or organization. If your organization does not have a Snapverter subscription, you can still use the app to make classroom papers and images accessible and hear them read aloud, but a premium subscription is required to export and share them as accessible PDFs.

Note: PixWriter Lite is a free app. It permits one file to be created and edited, but not shared or printed. PixWriter Lite can also receive files created with the PixWriter app. Students can use those files to write, read aloud, and print their own documents. The Lite version can be upgraded to the full version through the in-app Store. PixWriter™ is a picture-assisted writing tool for beginning writers of any age. The combination of symbol support with highlighted text and speech help students write independently. Students can compose written documents without mastering phonics, spelling, and alphabet skills. Students write by selecting word bank buttons, typing with a keyboard, or both. Word bank buttons are filled as the instructor types words followed by the spacebar; symbols are automatically added as words are typed. Customized vocabulary word banks can be created to fit the student’s abilities, assignment requirements, and IEP goals. Documents can be printed, saved, and shared via email and AirDrop. PixWriter Lite is a separate and free app. It can receive, read aloud, and print documents that have been created with the full featured PixWriter program.
