QuickScan Book Leveler vs NYCPS

LEVEL YOUR CLASSROOM LIBRARY QuickScan Book Leveler shows you a book's reading levels. Just scan the barcode with your camera to see AR, Lexile, Guided Reading, and more - and see which of them QuickScan looked up and which it estimated. QuickScan is from the makers of BookScanner, used by teachers since 2012. PERFECT FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS - Organize your classroom library by reading level - Match students with books at their just-right level - Check reading levels before buying books - Track books your students have read 5 READING LEVELS, PLUS AR POINTS AND INTEREST LEVEL No more hunting through multiple websites. QuickScan shows you where every level came from: - AR (Accelerated Reader) / ATOS levels - looked up, never estimated - Lexile measures - looked up, never estimated - Guided Reading Level (GRL) / F&P - looked up from Scholastic when Scholastic has it; otherwise QuickScan estimates it and marks it ≈ - DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) - marked ≈ when QuickScan estimates it - Grade level equivalent - marked ≈ when QuickScan estimates it - Interest level (LG, MG, MG+, UG) - AR Points and Word Count Above P, QuickScan doesn't estimate a Guided Reading Level: where Scholastic has no level for a longer chapter book, QuickScan shows none rather than a letter it can't stand behind. NO BARCODE? FIND IT ANOTHER WAY When a barcode won't scan, or it isn't the book's ISBN, type the book's title instead. On iPhone and iPad models whose camera can read text, QuickScan can also read the title from the cover or spine for you to check before it searches, or read the ISBN printed on the book.

Hello! is an automated language assistant designed to support real-time interpretation across NYCPS’ covered languages. Built to facilitate everyday communication, the app enables school staff to engage effectively with multilingual families during impromptu conversations and on-the-spot interactions. The application provides live voice interpretation, allowing two-way communication between participants who speak different languages. Each person can speak naturally in their preferred language while the app captures, transcribes, and translates speech in real time. This makes Hello! particularly useful in dynamic school environments where quick, clear communication is essential. Hello! is optimized for both web and mobile use, giving staff the flexibility to initiate conversations from a desktop or on the go using a mobile device. The mobile experience includes a streamlined interface with simplified controls and clear visual indicators to support active listening and real-time translation during live interactions. The app is designed to support a wide range of common school scenarios, including front office interactions, student enrollment or registration support, counseling discussions, and general day-to-day communication. It helps bridge language gaps quickly and efficiently without requiring advance scheduling. Hello! is built with privacy and security in mind. No conversation data is stored, ensuring that interactions remain confidential and compliant with data protection standards. This tool is intended to complement existing language access services. While Hello! is effective for quick and informal communication, it does not replace professional interpretation for complex, sensitive, or high-stakes conversations. By providing immediate access to multilingual communication support, Hello! helps create more inclusive and accessible interactions between schools and families, improving engagement and understanding across diverse communities.
