Voice Recording

Capture a voice note in Mote for iOS and it becomes clean, replayable text, with the words highlighted as the original recording plays back.

What this feature does:

Voice Recording lets a student capture a thought, a reading or a piece of homework by speaking. Mote turns the recording into clean, replayable text and highlights each word as the original audio plays back, and the recording is saved to the library like any other item.

Why it matters:

  • Gives students a way to capture ideas before they are lost, without the effort of writing them down
  • Transcript plus audio together means the recording can be read as well as heard
  • Supports students whose spoken vocabulary runs ahead of their writing

MTSS:

  • Tier 1: An additional way for any student to record their thinking
  • Tier 2/3: An alternative to written response for students with writing difficulties

UDL Principles:

  • Multiple means of action and expression: students show what they know by speaking

Try it yourself

  1. Tap the record button in Mote for iOS.
  2. Speak, then tap again to stop.
  3. Play back the recording and watch the transcript highlight as it plays.
  4. Save it to a Collection.
