Here is the list of suggested apps we were given from various school/tech ed people. DD does not have all of them yet, but we are working our way through the list. Some are quite costly, so it would be great to get reviews if anyone has an opinion:
Pages
Dragon Dictation
Inspiration Maps
Evernote
VoiceDream Reader*
Read2Go*
iReadWrite
IWordq
Typ-O HD
Merrimac Webster Dictionary
Google Docs**
Drop Box**
Paper Desk
Jot Not Scanner
Type on PDF
iAnnotate PDF
Math/Graph paper
* these are to accommodate her dyslexia
** assist with sharing files with other programs/teacher
By far, she says iReadWrite is her absolute favourite! Dragon is not recognizing her speech easily and is too frustrating. She uses the iPad's text-to-speech function to help her edit work. She is still fiddling with the scanner and PDF apps, so we don't have a review of those yet. I'm most excited by Inspiration Maps, will let you know how that helps with the brainstorming process. I think this iPad is going to change the world 😊
