Texthelp is used all across our school district, primarily with Read and Write. We use this tool with students to individually focus on and help support their reading and writing. In special education, the tools available especially assist with the specific needs of students. The Read and Write Chrome extension is great for our Chromebook 1:1 in the district, providing tools like text-to-speech, highlighting, and simplifying the task of reading. EquatIo has also been a newly adopted math tool that has been great in our district, especially with our 1:1 program.
  • The highlighting feature has been loved by our staff and allows students to identify items as they go along and read.
  • Text-to-speech has been an important tool in our special education classes and allows differentiation in general ed as needed.
  • EquatIo has replaced a tool that no longer exists, allowing our students to created equations and formulas in Google Docs.
  • There have been a few bugs when launching EquatIo that just need to be cleaned up to remove frustrations from staff while using.
  • Nothing else, it's a really simple to use tools that enhance learning and teaching!
Texthelp creates amazing tools that are great for schools and education, especially with students in special education classes or who have specific needs to assist their learning. With a 1:1 initiative, the tools also support differentiation and personalized learning.

  • Features like text-to-speech, highlighting of text, and inserting math equations meet the needs of our staff and students.
Very helpful on answering questions and providing support
It is incredible having this available to support students/staff on our devices in school and at home for each individual and their needs
Equatio has been great compared to MathType! It works in Chrome and the Gsuite with our 1:1 initiative.
