Snap & Read Chrome Extension

Snap&Read Universal is a helpful educational app that reads text from internet websites or photos of printed text out loud. Some additional features include simultaneous highlighting, graphic organizers and note-taking help, and help with difficult words. It can help those who have difficulty with reading and comprehension learn from and engage with written information on the internet. Users can adjust the voice, speed, and text complexity. Voices that read the text within the app can sound robotic and take time to get used to.
