Take your documents to the next level
OrbitNote allows you to transform and interact with documents in a completely different way. Create an accessible, dynamic and collaborative space that works for everyone.
OrbitNote Modern helps to:
Make PDFs more accessible and actionable
Teachers can easily convert printed text into a PDF with our one-click OCR scanning technology. OrbitNote then takes care of everything else, ensuring that students have access to the tools they need, such as text to speech, highlighting, vocabulary support and everything they need to succeed - across all class content.
Gives you multiple ways to demonstrate knowledge and give feedback
OrbitNote allows students to express their understanding in many flexible ways. They can type or draw their thoughts on the page, which can help planning.
Students can highlight the key points in a comprehension piece or to help with studying. They can also add shapes and images to their work.
Boosts productivity, connections and collaboration
Using OrbitNote allows for seamless collaboration.
Students could use a range of tools to ask teachers for help, identifying areas that need more support - before it becomes a problem. Pen and paper projects can become digital spaces for working together, allowing collaboration between teachers and students, as well as for group projects and tasks.
