Introducing OrbitNote
With over 90,000 new users in just the last month alone, Orbitnote is Texthelp’s exciting new solution that transforms the way teachers and students experience documents – from PDF worksheets, to scanned textbook chapters, to stacks of classroom papers. OrbitNote makes it easy for teachers to annotate on PDFs and quickly share them with students using Google Classroom and popular Learning Management Systems.
Students can then use OrbitNote’s annotation tools to write, record audio, highlight and draw to complete their work and demonstrate their understanding. To complete the workflow, teachers can then review student work, score it and provide text and voice feedback.

OrbitNote not only makes assignments and worksheets digital, but it also makes them accessible. Photos and scans of paper documents can be made accessible and readable with one click, which is so vital for all learners especially those who rely on assistive technologies to help them be successful and independent.
