Welcome to mote: the first Chrome extension that lets you easily add voice comments and feedback to shared documents and assignments.
Mote is integrated into Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, as well as Google Classroom, for easy recording and playback. You can create voice notes for any website or application using the 'motepad' within the mote Chrome extension menu - simply click on the browser icon to access. Use mote to add voice notes to Google Slides! Mote supports transcription in more than 20 world languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Arabic.
Mote for teachers:
Ask students questions and provide feedback, quickly and with the feeling of human connection. Whether you're at home or in the classroom, mote helps educators and students to stay connected. Add voice comments within Google Classroom's Stream and Private Comments views, as well as within Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets. Record and insert audio comments within Google Slides - simply click on the mote icon within the Google Slides browser bar to insert your audio.
Mote for students:
Students are now welcome to use mote to connect with their teachers and classmates - mote is certified for Student use in the United States. Students can also react to teacher feedback and comments to let teachers know that they've understood and will action feedback, or that they need more help.
Please see our website for more information about how we're creating a safe and secure experience for users under the age of 18.
