About

OrbitNote allows you to transform and interact with documents in a completely different way. Create an accessible, dynamic and collaborative space that works for everyone. Teachers can easily convert printed text into a PDF with our one-click OCR scanning technology. OrbitNote then takes care of everything else, ensuring that students have access to the tools they need, such as text to speech, highlighting, vocabulary support and everything they need to succeed - across all class content. OrbitNote allows students to express their understanding in many flexible ways. They can type or draw their thoughts on the page, which can aid planning. Students can highlight the key points in a comprehension piece or to help with studying. Both teachers and students can use their voices to send thoughts and feedback, and finally students can add shapes and images to their work.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are no pros, but at least there is something. The teachers are obsessed but students don't like it.
  • Automatic login is convenient not having to type in email all the time. However, it does lock you out from time to time.
  • None! We implemented it into the LMS and to my knowledge, it has not worked once for a single student/teacher for the entire year.
  • I do not have any pros to list for this product. It is one of the worst products I have ever had the disservice of even attempting to do a free trial for. If I could rate it zero stars or even somewhere in the negatives, I most certainly would.

Cons

  • Honestly, everything. The font size is messed up; it looks fine, but press backspace too much, and the size is massive. Also, the loading is so slow, and it deletes data randomly. Downloading is slow, and it makes you sign in so many times while also making you change permissions. It sometimes opens PDFs that you don't want, and it is just bad. Don't get why you would need it.
  • EVERYTHING. ELSE. I can't make copies of read-only documents anymore. I can't download, edit, or do anything with a PDF because it always needs the owner's password, when the owner is ME, and I didn't set a password!
  • Nothing! It has never actually worked for anyone!!
  • This program deletes random chunks of work from the fillable portions of PDFs. It does not allow individuals to pay for its use but does allow individuals to use the free trial version, immediately downgrading individuals as soon as the free trial period has ended. You then lose all ability to manipulate PDFs outside of highlighting, which is almost entirely unnecessary in regards to PDF editing. Even during the free trial, many of the features were incredibly glitchy - the program would allow me to insert text where I wanted to place it, then after I clicked away from the text box, the text would be sent to a random place in the document or disappear altogether. Text boxes would often duplicate or even triple themselves, causing a strange bold-type appearance to about half of the text in my document. OrbitNote actually deleted three months worth of work from a PDF I was actively using.
