Use your iPad to type into a paper worksheet!

Posted by 14 on the 2nd October, 2014

Now - here's an App to cheer your day. SnapType App 

It's FREE. It lets a pupil type directly into a work sheet.

Here's how it goes - 

• Take a photo with the iPad of the paper worksheet other kids are completing by hand.
• Tap the screen, a yellow box appears.  Tap the box, the keyboard appears. Type. 
• If necessary, drag and drop the text box to better position it against the backdrop of the worksheet.
• Adjust the text size slightly.
• Take a screen shot to store a copy of the work and then print it out and/or share it with teacher. 

It's not perfect, in fact it's quite limited. Unless I'm missing something, it only works in portrait. But it's very simple to use, unlike some other options, and I know quite a few frustrated kids who struggle with handwriting, who will LOVE this!
