“I love this extension. It's super easy to use and makes my
content more accessible to students.” - Sheri Massey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Read Aloud web pages and Google®️ Workspace applications
Mote Read Aloud is the key to creating an inclusive learning environment. With human-like voices, translation options and speed adjustment, students can customize their learning experience to fit their personal needs, while everyone can benefit from having the option to listen to text content.
Voice recordings for your students (and student voice recordings for you)
Our Chrome extension lets you and your students record voice messages for each other. This is in keeping with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles of Multiple Means of Engagement and Multiple Means of Action and Expression.
Unlimited voice notes that can be saved and reused
This feature is best summarized by the following quote from an actual Mote subscriber: “Mote provides a great way to reuse your audio files and keep a database of your most frequent comments.” It’s just another way Mote saves you time while still individualizing instruction and feedback.
Up to 5 minutes of recording time
Get your point across in detail–but not too much detail. Mote lets you leave thorough audio explanations without being so long that your students lose interest and stop engaging. With the playback feature, students can re-listen to messages as needed.
Speech-to-text capabilities
Some students love to hear your voice, others just want to get straight to the message. With speech-to-text, you can accommodate all learners’ preferences, and enable other features including...
Translation into 50+ languages (powered by Google Translate)
With Mote, any text across the web and any voice message shared can be translated - both into another written language and into translated audio.
Voice message engagement dashboard
Use this dashboard to keep track of all the engagement that your voice messages receive from your students. This helps you monitor each student’s learning progress and engagement.
Security and privacy compliance
Mote is fully compliant with COPPA and FERPA requirements, as well as GDPR and the Student Data Privacy pledge. Learn more
