Students with dyslexia, visual impairments, or reading disabilities often have difficulty reading words. An assistive technology called Capturatalk Moblie is able to help those students read the text. Capturatalk Mobile is an application device that can be installed on certain smart phones. It is able to take a picture of any words in a print, book, or paper and read it aloud to the student. This allows students with difficulty reading to be able to read books, homework, and other things that they were not able to do on their own. Capturatalk Moblie does all this right on a simple phone, with no need to be sitting in front of a computer. Since this device is mobile, it is able to be used anywhere and on any print. It is not only helpful to students with reading impairments, but also to students who are simply having trouble reading a difficult passage. With these uses, an assistive technology like this is very helpful in a class when it can be used right as it is needed.
