Help every student show what they know, even when handwriting or reading gets in the way. Created by a pediatric occupational therapist and trusted in classrooms since 2016, SnapType helps students with dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, visual impairments, and motor challenges complete the same worksheets as their classmates. Students focus on their ideas, not the physical effort of writing. HOW IT WORKS Snap: Capture any worksheet with the camera, or import a PDF. Type: Tap anywhere on the page to add an answer. Listen: Hear text read aloud to support comprehension. Share: Print, email, or save to Google Drive and other cloud services. WHY TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND THERAPISTS RELY ON IT Independence: Students finish their work without a scribe. Legibility: Answers are neat, organized, and easy to read. Inclusion: Students stay in the general education classroom, working on the same assignments as their peers. TOOLS THAT GROW WITH YOUR STUDENT Worksheet Scanner: Automatically straightens and sharpens every page. Math Mode: Type digits right to left, just like solving on paper. Voice Notes: Record spoken directions or let students answer out loud. Bilingual Read Aloud: Hear text in two languages with word-by-word highlighting. Premium Read Aloud Voices: Natural voices that are easy to follow. Answer Translations: Students answer in their native language, then translate with a tap for their teacher.

Larger Menus and Buttons: Easier tapping for students with visual and motor challenges. Flexible Import: Drag and drop files, choose specific pages from large PDFs, and work with up to 30 pages per document. App menus are also available in German. REAL IMPACT "You have changed the way my son functions in school. He is more independent and I cannot thank you enough. You are changing lives." "Something so simple yet so important for kids who cannot write but have so much to say and show." ANNUAL LICENSE An Annual License gives students full access with everything unlocked. Schools can purchase licenses through Apple School Manager. Handwriting and reading should never stand in the way of learning. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SnapType at 4.5 against Abby Monkey's 3.1. SnapType also leads on ratings volume (366 vs 14). Abby Monkey's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SnapType holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapType has 366 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Abby Monkey's written reviews are positive against 64% of SnapType's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
