    Kami
    When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me. Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.

    One of the things that I have noticed the most is that it saves a lot of time when working with documents of different formats that need to be converted to PDF. Scanning documents is also one of the best features of this app. Being able to have the history of modifications, and changes in the documents is very important for any sector, as well as the signing of documents online. The issue of authentication every time you need to use it can sometimes cause inconvenience, but then you forget when you have a robust and comfortable tool to work with. I do not recommend this application if the company has different versions of operating systems. It is not the most recommended application.

    Pros
    Kami
    • Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
    • I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
    • I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
    • I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.

    • First of all, I really like how the synchronization feature works - it's very convenient to switch between devices (one more advantage of the app - it has a nice mobile version) and still have all the documents right there in the, synced and ready to go.
    • Besides, the software provides users not only with annotating features that allow you to highlight and add information, but also allows you to sign documents on the go, without having a necessity to print them, so you don't actually even need an e-signature app.
    • Another thing I like is how easy it is to use right away, at least the majority of the tools, anyway.

    Cons
    Kami
    • When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
    • When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
    • I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.

    • Well, there are a few downsides, I guess, but not very significant ones. Firstly, because of the large amount of features the interface doesn't look as simple as I wish it did - it's a bit overcrowded.
    • Secondly, because of the first issue that I've mentioned, adjusting to the software takes longer than it could if the interface was simpler. For me personally, it wasn't a big issue, but for those who don't get accustomed to unfamiliar tools easily it could be a problem.
    • Finally, there is one more problem that is actually not significant at all, but when you want to load a document from the Cloud or open the task manager, the app will open a new window for those tools every time - it can be a bit confusing because of so many windows being opened at once.

    Usability
    Kami
    Kami is easy to use and easy to find information that I am looking for. If I need to learn how to use a tool I can look up references easily. The tools are easy to deploy for both staff and students. I find that the icons are intuitive

    I think that Kami is easier to use and works in a more consistent way. Orbitnote is clunky and doesn't work as consistently. In the accessibility space, we are starting to recommend Kami products over the TextHelp/Everyway family of products. I think the Google integration is smoother as well

    We have also tried Expert PDF Reader. There were no converting, signing, faxing or features. In general, it was far less useful.

    Return on Investment
    Kami
    • My desk has about 10% of the paperwork sitting on it than it used to have.
    • I never have any arguments about whether a student turned something in or not.
    • A student doesn't have to physically see me for me to help them with work. I can write and they can see what I write.
    • Sharing documents with colleagues is now a breeze.
