Mote - Voice & Audio for Learning

Paid service . Free for the first 30 days . I'm not saying they shouldn't ask for payments , I respect the business . I just wish that they were straightforward about the payment aspect before I actually downloaded . Again , I have nothing against the developers and I wish them all the best . This is a purely subjective opinionated review . DON'T take this review as an objective factual description .

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.
