Mote: free voice recorder

Time saver for creating audio versions of quizzes for students who need an audio/read-aloud accommodation.

Allows me to embed pronunciation of words directly into google docs. Easy to use, and incredibly helpful.

Makes writing feedback and conferring comments easy for developing writers (k-2).

Makes feedback fast and accessible with the translate and transcribe functions.

This extension and its integration with other Google apps/tools has helped me give my students effective and personalized feedback for their day-to-day work. Children feel so excited to respond back using the audio mode of it. Thank you.

This extension has assisted my first additional language children to listen, repeat, and practise new vocabulary and written text without needing assistance from parents or caregivers; they have been empowered!

I love this extension. It's super easy to use and makes my content more accessible to students. I hope it continues to be free for educators.

Mote saved HOURS of my time since I cannot type as fast as I can speak. It was a game changer for me and I don't think I can go back to my 50 wpm type speed to write hundreds of comments...

Mote is the best I have found so far that does a good job of transcribing that manages the technical jargon of my field. It has really improved my productivity on providing detailed notes on documents. Another ... Show more

Allowing me to use it to improve my students listening skills in MFL! Embed in any document or presentation. Absolutely brilliant.
