Notebook for Students vs GoTalk About It!

**Notebooks** is a student notebook app designed for school notes, handwriting, studying, and organizing subjects in one simple place. Create different notebooks for every class, such as Math, Science, English, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Art, and more. Each notebook works like a real notebook: write page by page, swipe left and right to turn pages, and add new pages whenever you need more space. The main experience is handwriting. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to write notes, solve math problems, draw diagrams, sketch ideas, and organize classwork. Each page is fixed like a real paper notebook page, so your notes feel clean and structured instead of endless scrolling. Need typed notes? Use OCR to convert handwriting into editable text. Save the converted text with each page, copy it, search it later, or use it for studying. **Key Features:** * Create notebooks for different school subjects * Handwrite notes with Apple Pencil or finger * Swipe left and right to turn pages * Add, duplicate, and organize notebook pages * Use fixed notebook pages, not endless scrolling * Convert handwriting to text with OCR * Search notes by subject, page, or recognized text * Use paper styles like blank, lined, grid, dotted, or Cornell notes * Great for students, homework, class notes, study guides, and daily schoolwork Notebooks helps students keep every subject organized while making digital note-taking feel natural, simple, and close to writing in a real notebook.

Powered by AI, GoTalk About It! creates topic-specific displays automatically from photographs to support communication and language learning for non-speaking individuals, their families, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Choose a photograph, and in a few seconds GoTalk About It! will create a topic-specific display containing vocabulary symbols (pictograms) related to the input photograph! Topic-specific displays are a single page containing all relevant vocabulary to discuss a certain topic or activity. Users can then select vocabulary to create sentences using synthesized speech. GoTalk About It! is fully customizable: ~> You can edit the topic display created to add or remove words, or select a better symbol for a specific word. ~> You can change the size of all elements in the interface. ~> You can choose the complexity of vocabulary generated automatically. ~> You can program familiar people to enable QuickPic to automatically recognize them when creating new boards. GoTalk About It! was designed by a team of experts (PhDs and CCC-SLPs) in the field of speech-language therapy and human-computer interaction (HCI) using user-centered design methodologies, which involved the participation of end-users in the process. *** Development of this application was partly supported by the App Factory to Support Health and Function of People with Disabilities funded by a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to the Shepherd Center (Grant # 90DPHF0004) *** Created by Mauricio Fontana de Vargas (PhD), Howard Shane (PhD), and Christina Yu (CCC-SLP).
