Capti's platform was created with a heavy focus on education, early learners, and those with learning disabilities. Besides helping children read, it also accommodates tests by reading it aloud within a secure browser. This has shown to reduce testing times for students. But it's not just for lower-grade students. Capti is also used in higher education institutions.
It's the ideal tool for listening to textbooks, while taking notes. The accessibility of Capti is worth noting because it not only helps struggling readers to improve their skills -- it also assesses readers, provides score reports, and makes activity recommendations. The platform has even won an accessibility-related award for the vast options available to users with disabilities.
ioAudio is also designed with the disabled in mind -- particularly folks with dyslexia, autism, and reading comprehension issues. Our platform is also suitable for use in K-12 settings by both teachers and students.
