“I love this extension. It's super easy to use and makes my
content more accessible to students.” - Sheri Massey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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)

This is a pretty great feature for language learners. The translation feature aids in bridging gaps between languages. This makes it a valuable tool for teaching students who speak other languages at home. When students use this feature, they can leave voice notes for you in their native language and then translate them into your preferred language.

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.
